Sufficiency is a gift from God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God (2 Corinthians 3:5). This weekend we celebrated Resurrection Sunday and Passover. I always think of the prayer we pray during Passover. It’s called Dayenu, which means ‘It would have been enough (sufficient). It is a song of thanksgiving and praise. Take a moment to read this prayer and meditate on it.

Honoring God: Celebrating the Feasts
Honoring God through the celebrating of the Feasts. We choose to celebrate Passover or the Feast of Unleavened Bread. As a Christian, I think it is important to understand why God created these Feast days and what the significance is for Christians. Leviticus 23 has a break down of each feast (appointed day).

Picture the matzo; the holes in the matzo represent the nail holes in His broken Read More

This is what the Word tells us about the Blood: Leviticus 17:11 – “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you Read More
Feasts and Festivals: Meet Him There
Celebrating the feasts and festivals of the Lord is not common among Christians. In my house, we celebrate (Pesach) Passover. As a Christian, I think it is important to understand why God created these feasts and festivals and what the significance is for Christians. God specifically gave these instructions to the Jews: “Three times a year you shall celebrate a festival to me” (Exodus 23:14). These three appointments were Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles). In addition to these three, God added four additional times of celebration in Leviticus 23, thereby making a total of seven celebrations. Matzah (Unleavened Read More
