Here are the Gregorian Calendar Appointed Moedim Days of YHWH for 2024
These are the Appointed Moadim of Adonai, which you are to proclaim to be holy convocations--MY MOADIM.... (Lev23:2) Spring Feasts
Ends nightfall of Tuesday, April 30, 2024 No work permitted on April 23 - 24 and April 29 - 30. Work is permitted only on April 25 - 26 and April 28 These are the appointed feasts of Adonai, holy convocations which you are to proclaim in their appointed season. During the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Adonai’s Passover. (Leviticus 23:4-5 TLV) Get rid of the old hametz (leaven), so you may be a new batch, just as you are unleavened--for Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast not with old hametz, the hametz of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread—the matzah of sincerity and truth. 1Cor 5: 7-8 Note: The traditional time to begin Passover is in the evening at the end of the day.
On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Matzot to Adonai. For seven days you are to eat matzah. On the first day you are to have a holy convocation and you should do no regular work. Instead you are to present an offering made by fire to Adonai for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation, when you are to do no regular work. (Leviticus 23:6-8 TLV)
When you have come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you are to bring the omer of the firstfruits of your harvest to the kohen. He is to wave the omer before Adonai, to be accepted for you. On the morrow after the Shabbat, the kohen is to wave it. (Leviticus 23:10-11 TLV)
Then you are to count from the morrow after the Shabbat, from the day that you brought the omer of the wave offering, seven complete Shabbatot. Until the morrow after the seventh Shabbat you are to count fifty days, and then present a new grain offering to Adonai. (Leviticus 23:15-16 TLV) When the day of Shavuot had come, they were all together in one place. Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And tongues like fire spreading out appeared to them and settled on each one of them. Acts 2:1-4 Fall Feasts
Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) Begins sunset of Wednesday, October 16, 2024 Ends nightfall of Wednesday, October 23, 2024 No work permitted on October 17 - 18. Work is permitted on October 20 - 23 On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Feast of Sukkot, for seven days to Adonai. On the first day there is to be a holy convocation--you are to do no laborious work. For seven days you are to bring an offering by fire to Adonai. (Leviticus 23:34-36 TLV) The eighth day will be a holy convocation to you, and you are to bring an offering by fire to Adonai. It is a solemn assembly--you should do no laborious work. (Leviticus 23:36 TLV) And on in the future: Then all the survivors from all the nations that attacked Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Adonai-Tzva’ot, (The Lord of Hosts) and to celebrate Sukkot. 17 Furthermore, if any of the nations on earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Adonai-Tzva’ot, they will have no rain. Zech 14: 16-17 TLV (the Feast will be kept in the future with a punishment of "no rain" for those nations which refuse) In summary we keep the Feasts because Yah commanded it: These are the moadim of Adonai (<-the feasts of the Lord) which you are to proclaim to be holy convocations..Lev 23:37 Yeshua kept them. They will be kept in the future as commanded by God in Zechariah and they hold a wealth of knowledge and information about the Messiah of prophesy fulfilled and to be fulfilled. Yeshua kept Passover, He kept Tabernacles & He kept the Feasts. He is sinless/a lawkeeper before God, He is YHWH in the flesh---The Word made flesh---and it is commanded, in the Word, to keep them. These are the FEASTS OF ADONAI Lev 23:37
Grafted into Israel: If the firstfruit is holy, so is the whole batch of dough; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 But if some of the branches were broken off and you—being a wild olive--were grafted in among them and became a partaker of the root of the olive tree with its richness, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, it is not you who support the root but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 True enough. They were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear— Romans 11: 16-20 TLV The Feast of Dedication/Hanukkah is not a commanded Feast or Moadim. However, Yeshua did celebrate it and used it as an opportunity to present the gospel in the temple: SEE JOHN 10: 23-32 Yeshua made a three-day journey from Nazareth to be in the Temple during the Feast of Dedication/Hanukkah. "Yeshua was walking in the Temple around Solomon’s Colonnade."-----

Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! What a blessed Monday!! Getting ready for Passover and Unleavened Bread this wk!! This topic takes such a beautiful spotlight during Passover and ULB as we examine our homes to remove leaven (hametz) and more importantly our hearts and minds. But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of His Son Yeshua purifies us from all sin (1 John 1:7 TLV ). To walk in the light means to walk in the Torah (Proverbs 6:23). Torah: meaning “teaching with direction,” i.e. the type of teaching which enables and empowers one with a direction to proceed. A second meaning is from the word “orah,” which means light. One example of this reflected in the verse which states, “For the mitzvah is a lamp, Torah a light” (Proverbs 6:23).*inspired by Torah4Today So the *mitzvah* ->commandment is a lamp, Torah a light. we are to walk IN IT ie: {Torah = light} "Torah a light" as He Himself is in the light...... we have fellowship with one another and the blood of His Son Yeshua purifies us from all sin This is living the process of sanctification "For the mitzvah is a lamp, Torah a light" Prov. 6:23 The Torah is the: rod, the light, the narrow path that leads us in the footsteps of the, Master Yeshua, and the blood of Yeshua, "purifies us from all sin." STRONGS: 38. hagiasmos Sanctification: the process of making or becoming holy, set apart, sanctification, holiness, consecration 2. use of the believer being progressively transformed by Adonai into His likeness The Torah, indeed, sets us apart, in covenant to Yah as His people. Set apart, from all other people, because we choose to obey/guard His commands, His Holy Moedim, and walk in His ways separate from the world. For this is the will of God—your sanctification- 1 Thess 4:3 TLV Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says Adonai. Touch no unclean thing. Then I will take you in. I will be a father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says Adonai-Tzva’ot.”2 Cor 6;17-18 TLV
The over-arching teaching in the western/roman-ized church is that the Torah is done away with and keeping the commandments is legalistic. Which is just not Biblically sound theology. While keeping/guarding Torah and the moedim (set apart Holy/Feast days and Sabbath/Shabbat) is not going to save anyone.... it is a joy to be pleasing to Adonai and there is a blessed peace and rest that comes in doing those things that are pleasing to Him. It is not a struggle or hardship. It certainly is not bondage as most of the western church would have people confused into believing. Through belief in Yeshua, the Indwelling Set-apart Spirit gives the believer the "want to" and the "power to" be obedient. This is the "Good News" we are commanded to tell all people. (Eze. 36:25-27, Jer. 31:31-34, Rom. 7:18-8:4, Mark 16:15-16) Moreover I will give you a new heart. I will put a new spirit within you. I will remove the stony heart from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Ruach within you. Then I will cause you to walk in My laws, so you will keep My rulings and do them. - Ezek 36:26 TLV A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be LIKE his teacher. Luke 6:40 TLV (ie: Yeshua who walked out Torah completely /perfectly) “For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again does a rotten tree produce good fruit. Each tree comes to be known by its own fruit. For figs are not gleaned out of briars; neither are bunches of grapes gathered from thorn bushes. Luke 6:43-44 TLV ▪︎ You know them by their fruit. What is the fruit? ACTION, CHOICES, OBEDIENCE OR DISOBEDIENCE We know that we love God’s children by this—when we love God and OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. For this is the LOVE of God—that we KEEP His COMMANDMENTS. And His COMMANDMENTS are NOT burdensome. 1 John 5:2-3 TLV “Why do you call Me ‘Master, Master’ and do not do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and does them, I will show you what he is like. He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock. And when a flood came, the torrent burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built. “But the one who hears yet does not do is like a man who built a house upon land without a foundation. When the torrent burst against it, immediately it collapsed—and the destruction of that house was great!” Luke 6:46-49 TLV But He said, “Rather, blessed are those who HEAR the word of God and OBEY it.” Luke 11:28 TLV Now a certain Torah lawyer stood up to entrap Yeshua, saying, “Teacher, what should I do to gain eternal life?” Then Yeshua said to him, “What has been written in the Torah? How do you read it?” And he replied, “You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Yeshua said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.” Luke 10:25-28 TLV You see that a man is proved righteous by works and not by faith alone. James 2:24 TLV = "You will know them by their fruit" “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." John 14:15 TLV

Phil 4:13 Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! I pray your Shabbat and weekend was blessed. Well, you know what is beginning to weigh heavily on my mind... Passover and Unleavened Bread (ULB) I have been verbally preparing our children for the upcoming lack of: waffles, pastries, bread, cereal etc. This is probably one of the more challenging things for me with 3 younger kids. So I thought, I am probably not the only one.... maybe a blog post on the topic and some food/meal ideas may be helpful! Well let's back up: “These are the appointed feasts of Adonai, holy convocations which you are to proclaim in their appointed season. During the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Adonai’s Passover. On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Matzot to Adonai. For seven days you are to eat matzah. On the first day you are to have a holy convocation and you should do no regular work. Instead you are to present an offering made by fire to Adonai for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation, when you are to do no regular work.” Lev 23:4-8 TLV It is actually reported that among you there is sexual immorality, and such immorality as is not even among the pagans—that someone has his father’s wife. And you are puffed up! Shouldn’t you have mourned instead, so that the one who did this deed might be removed from among you? For even though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit—I have already passed judgment on the one who has done this thing, as though I were present. When you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Yeshua, I am with you in spirit. With the power of our Lord Yeshua, you are to turn such a fellow over to satan for the destruction of his fleshly nature, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yeshua. Your boasting is no good. Don’t you know that a little hametz leavens the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old hametz,so you may be a new batch, just as you are unleavened—for Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast not with old hametz, the hametz of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread—the matzah of sincerity and truth. 1 Cor 5:1-8 TLV We are to remove the physical leaven from our: lives, homes, kitchens, and diet as we examine ourselves for the "leaven" of sin (lawlessness) in our: lives, actions etc. This is a great opportunity to go through your house and kitchen with your children to find and get rid of the hidden yeast (hametz), but don’t spend more time analyzing the food than the sin (lawlessness) in your own hearts. The main point will always be to get the sin (lawlessness) out of your heart. Still, this is an opportunity to really let this lesson sink in. Let’s teach this to the children and let them help you as a reminder to seek out the hidden sin (lawlessness) in their own hearts as well.
There is a plethora of ULB recipes out there in internet world and while we do use boxed ULB on occasion...our fellowship and our children really enjoy this recipe with just a hint of sweetness: 3 cups all purpose flour 2 teaspoons sea salt/ kosher salt 1.5 cups whole milk 3 eggs 2 TBLSP olive oil 4 TBLSP honey, or 2 TBLSP sugar Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until fully combined and blended. Spray an 11 x 15 baking pan with cooking spray, and spread dough into pan. Bake at 450 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Phil 4:13 Well hello dear readers and scattered family in Messiah! I pray you have had a blessed: Shabbat, Passover, and First Fruits celebration. This yr. our church family (The Narrow Way Torah Observant Fellowship) had a small gathering of about 12 people in 5 families and it turned out very nice. For Passover we blew the shofar, celebrated, and had fellowship, with a simple meal (mashed potatoes, lamb, unleavened bread, Mississippi pot roast, green beans with the symbolic sides) with our church family with a Gospel- centered Remembering Redemption Haggadah we read. However, it is a PDF file and I am not sure how to share it here for you all. If you would like it and reach out to me individually I can email it to you. We are celebrating First Fruits at home reviewing Yeshua's resurrection in Scripture and beginning the Omer countdown to Shavuot {otherwise known as "Pentecost"} Each yr is a little different but we typically do a craft, and the children are gifted some sweets and a devotional of some sort. We often watch: GOD WITH US by Voice of the Martyrs which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B01N18F3F5/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r I encourage you to start counting down to Shavuot and get ready to celebrate! Here shortly I will do a blog post only about Shavuot and it's significance but for now we can rest here in the First Fruits victory of Messiah. Until next time: May Adonai bless and keep you as you: press on pursuing the goal for the reward of the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua. Phil 4:13 Countdown to: Passover, Unleavened Bread & 1st Fruits.....
And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this -> Passover<- with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will never eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” And when He had taken a cup and offered the bracha, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. For I tell you that I will never drink of the fruit of the vine from now on, until the kingdom of God comes.” And when He had taken matzah and offered the bracha, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you. Do this in memory of Me.” In the same way, He took the cup after the meal, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you. Luke 22:15-20 TLV
YHWH says these are MY FEASTS/ Moadim (strongs: H4150 from H3259 an appointment/fixed time or season; specifically a festival by year. By implication an assembly. ) -> which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. These are the appointed moadim of Adonai, which you are to proclaim to be holy convocations, MY MOADIM. Lev. 23:2 HalleluYah! Until next time: May Adonai bless and keep you as you: press on pursuing the goal for the reward of the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua. Phil 4:13 |
