Sabbath Bulletin for 10/10
Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for the LORD to help us build on the momentum of His presence in our midst and the beautiful community that He helped build during Sukkot!
First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day, on 10/10/2026 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH 03104 for a time of rest in the LORD. Our First Fruits Ministries Sabbath service will begin at 10:15 a.m. in-house, and then we will go live for our YouTube audience around 10:30-10:35 a.m., God willing.
During our in-house-only segment, we will listen to a summary of this week's Torah Portion called: B'reisheet (In The Beginning): Genesis 1:1-6:8; Isaiah 42:5-43:10; John 1:1-17. Please study these passages during Erev Shabbat (the evening before the Sabbath day) on our Bread of Life Bible Study Platform or on Logos.
During our in-house and online segment, Pastor Andrew J. Manuse will present the first message in his new series, called "The Life of David." Here's the plan for what we'll cover: Israel erred by asking for a king, because God Most High was already their king, though they failed to submit to Him. God gave them King Saul, the king the people desired to lead them whom they could see and hear in the flesh, but who sought his own glory rather than the glory of God. God in His mercy and goodness already had a plan to correct and redirect His people back toward Him through His prophet David. He would raise up a shepherd, "a man after [God's] own heart," to show the people what kind of man ought to lead His people — one who, though human with his own failings, desired to do God's will more than anything else. David would be the prophetic template for God's restorative plan to reestablish Himself in the hearts of His people as the King who reigns forever. As a prophetic template, David exemplified what it looks like to live out the Gospel in an imperfect world while waiting for the King of kings, Messiah Yeshua, who would come forth in the flesh to demonstrate perfect obedience, serve as a perfect sacrifice, and rise up as the perfect eternal King. The promised Messiah was born as the son of David, the Son of God, and He established the throne of His Kingdom forever, giving His people — those with eyes to see and ears to hear — the eternal leadership God always desired them to have. Join us as we explore the Gospel through the lens of David's life on the earth, including his early years being trained up for the role God had prepared for him, his struggles against internal and external enemies trying to keep him from fulfilling his calling, and his wisdom in judgment that united Israel as one people under one God, the very goal of our LORD and our God. David's own shortcomings would prove this king was not the promised Messiah, but through David's failures God showed His plan for atonement and the ultimate restoration of His people through humility and repentance and faithful endurance until the end.
We prefer you to be with us in person for fellowship, but if that is not possible, you can join us remotely by following this link: https://www.youtube.com/@firstfruitsNH/streams. Please review our General Itinerary on our website for specific information about our Sabbath services. If you have not already done so, please download the Torah Portion schedule here as a PDF. You may select one of the top three Bible Study plans on the Bread of Life Bible Study platform to read the Torah Portion plans on schedule. Also, the 2027 Holy Day schedule is available by downloading this PDF document now. Please prepare to take off from work for all of the LORD's Holy Days.

Second Message for the Sabbath
During our NOW LIVE second service that we hope to begin around 3:15 p.m. EDT, we will livestream Corner Fringe Ministries' Sabbath celebration and enjoy Pastor Daniel Joseph's next message in his series, called "The Book of James." Join us to watch the sermon in person at First Fruits Ministries or join Corner Fringe online at: https://www.youtube.com/@CornerFringeChannel/streams.
Because Corner Fringe is a live service again (for those who remember our early days), we will be treating the second service with the same reverence as our own in-person service. It's not just a YouTube video anymore. We are literally worshipping and learning live in the Spirit with our brothers and sisters at our affiliate church.

First Fruits Ministries is part of an affiliated group of churches, and we invite you to review the many teachings available through our YouTube channels prior to moving on to other resources. While we can't say we've included every good and available resource, we believe it's best to avoid the confusion generated by viewing questionable doctrines from other ministries.
Here's direct links to YouTube sites for our affiliated group of churches:
You might next consider reviewing the YouTube pages for our ministry friends, which include: The Grafted Church in OK and Olive Branch Fellowship Sequin in Sequin, TX.
That being said, the best way to learn more about God and build your relationship with Him is to read His Word in the Bible and pray for His guidance, and we do hope you are doing this daily — and now you have the Bread of Life Bible Study platform to help keep you on track. We also urge you to attend weekly Shabbat services and our regular Bible studies, and also participate in our discipleship offerings through Corner Fringe Ministries.

ALMOST Every Wednesday Bible Study
Upcoming: Join us on 10/7, 10/14, 10/28
NO STUDY on 10/21
For those who are free during the late morning and early afternoon, we invite you to join us for a Bible Study and discussion every Wednesday (except the third Wednesday of the month) from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Coffee Factory in Derry, NH. Pastor Andrew goes out into the community each week to make himself and the Word of God available to all who want to explore God's Truth with him. Please just pull up a chair and join in the discussion during the available time. As long as you're there between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., there is no being "late" to this discussion. Come with a positive and inquisitive attitude that is seeking a deeper relationship with Yeshua the Messiah and your brothers and sisters in the faith. All questions offered in "good faith" will be considered. You can find The Coffee Factory in the Shaw's Plaza in Derry, NH. This meeting is not available online.

Attend Our Monthly Bible Study (USUALLY ONLINE ONLY, THIS MONTH ALSO LIVE IN THE SUKKAH!)
Next Study: 10/27/2026 @7:30 PM EDT
Whether you're new to First Fruits Ministries, just checking us out, or a veteran member, we welcome you to join us for our monthly Bible study—NOW ONLINE ONLY—via Zoom (pre-registration required) and bring your questions to explore in real time with Pastor Andrew for live Bible exploration. Content will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 10/27/2026.
First Fruits' monthly "Ask the Pastor" Bible study is the appropriate time to bring the questions you've been grappling with concerning certain Bible passages or concepts that you just can't grasp. Our goal will be to address more than one question each month. Consequently, more complex questions may not be completely answered and may require a reference to one of our ministries' sermons or previous Bible studies on the topic. Additionally, we would prefer you did not bring teachings from outside ministries for discussion, but keep questions based on topics relative to the faith that can be addressed through study of the Word of God.

Bread of Life Bible Study Platform
Brothers and sisters, First Fruits Ministries is pleased to announce the soft launch of "Bread of Life," our congregation's own Bible study platform built by Pastor Andrew. It's live now.
What you can do on the app:
- Read and study Scripture (multiple translations plus the original Hebrew and Greek and lexicons)
- Access the non-canonical texts we study together
- Join or create study groups to work through reading plans with one another.
- Study commentaries and video teachings from pastors in our affiliate network of churches.
- Ask the Pastors a question.
How to join:
The platform is invite-only to protect our congregation. All members must be approved by Pastor Andrew or one of the Corner Fringe Affiliate pastors.
Two ways to request access:
1. Text me your email address, and I'll send you a sign-up link both by email and text. This is the better option for signing up.
2. Go to https://breadoflife.firstfruits.cc and sign up on your own—I'll approve your membership and you'll receive a login email. Note: If you select this option, first, you'll have to wait for a pastor's approval, and second: approval emails often end up in spam, so check there if you don't see the email.
Importantly:
You can run this new application on your desktop, on your Tablet/iPad, on your Android/iPhone via a web browser or you can download it as an app. It's easier to download as an app on Android, and if you want to download the computer app, use Chrome. But there is a way to do it on Apple products, also, which the app itself explains in the Settings menu. Paying for access to the App store is not worth it, so we're using the back-door approach. I can help you!
What's coming:
This is a soft launch—the platform is stable and ready to use now. Over time, we'll add additional reading plans, which you can recommend, as well as discipleship and course features.
I pray this serves Yeshua and blesses you all.

Brochure Available For Evangelism
At First Fruits Ministries, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel to the Jews, restore the Torah to Christians, and reveal the love of Yeshua that unites both Jews and Gentiles into one Body obedient to God—bringing unbelievers to faith, believers to deeper trust in the LORD with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strength, and making disciples of all nations, teaching all to repent and follow Yeshua, our LORD and our God.
As part of walking in this mission, we go out from Sunday through Friday each week to share the reason for the hope that is in us, and then gather every Sabbath Day to worship, rest, and be renewed in His presence. Our goal is to plant seeds and water them in the hearts of our neighbors, praying for the LORD to bring the increase in trust and faithfulness. When people respond with hearts wholly seeking God, we joyfully welcome them into worship and fellowship.
The purpose of this card is to direct people to the sound teachings produced by First Fruits Ministries, Corner Fringe Ministries, and our sister communities, and to invite potential congregants to join us in celebrating the Sabbath and advancing this shared mission. The PDF (formatted for four postcards on an 8.5x11” page) can be printed and distributed as the LORD leads. There is also a full-page version now available.
