Sabbath Bulletin for 5/24/2025
Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for the LORD to unite His people together as one in His Body through Yeshua to serve Him and seek to please Him in all that we think, say, and do.
First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day, on 5/24/2025 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 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 double Torah Portion, called Behar-Bechukotai (On Mount Sinai-In my statutes): Leviticus 25:1-27:34; Jeremiah 16:19-17:14; Matthew 16:20-28.
During our in-house and online segment, Pastor Andrew J. Manuse will present the 11th part of his sermon series, called "Elementary Principles of Messiah," which will be the first message in the series on "the laying on of hands." This multi-part series is intended to help listeners fully process every vitamin and nutrient from the so-called "milk of the Word," prompting us toward spiritual growth and ultimate spiritual maturity so we can discern what is good and evil according to the Word of God. Topics covered include faith, repentance, baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection from the dead, eternal judgment, and moving on to perfection.
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.

SET THE DAY ASIDE FOR GOD!
— Upcoming Holy Convocation Day —
Shavuot/Pentecost/Feast of Weeks | Free to Worship!
Please remember that Shavuot, also known as the Feast of Weeks and Pentecost, is a Holy Convocation Day of the LORD, and it is coming up on 6/8/2025. Shavuot ALWAYS falls on the first day of the week, which is "the day after the seventh Sabbath" following Firstfruits.
Please note: This means that both the regular weekly Sabbath on 6/7/2025 and Shavuot on 6/8/2025 will both be Sabbath days that week, when we should not do any customary work (vocational, avocational, and so on), and we should avoid any other activities in the world, including weddings, funerals, graduation parties and the like.
Please be prepared to join us in Worship and fellowship at 5 p.m. on 6/8/2025 at 60 Bailey Ave. in Manchester, NH. We will have Oneg following a 2-2.5 hour period of prayer and worship. We will livestream Corner Fringe Ministries' service for Shavuot.

The Weather is Getting Warmer!
Is the LORD calling you into the water?
Within our series, "Elementary Principles of Messiah Yeshua," First Fruits Ministries covered the topic of baptisms and what they mean for new believers in Messiah Yeshua. The four sermons delivered during the Spring of 2025 present a great preview of what baptism entails for everyone considering it. We believe baptism is an urgent, obedient act that we are called to do as part of our sanctification, and through baptism we are buried with Yeshua, and then we are also raised up with Him into a new life through faith.
If you are considering baptism, please watch these sermons and then contact Pastor Andrew via our website at https://firstfruits.cc/contact to move forward in your faith and join Yeshua's family.
Watch four FFM sermons and three CFM sermons on baptisms by clicking here.
(We've also included three key sermons from our affiliate church, Corner Fringe Ministries, on the same topic. If you'd like a different perspective, please watch those also.)

Weekly Prayer Meeting
Brothers and sisters, with the urging of Pastor Stephen Opoku, an Elder at First Fruits Ministries, and the LORD's own guidance, we have instituted a Signal Prayer group for First Fruits Ministries that will be held every week. This group will meet 9:30 a.m. each Friday, with announced exceptions, to pray for God's will to be done at First Fruits Ministries. Please only join this discussion group by clicking the image below if you intend to be present at some of the prayer meetings. We will be using the Signal group to connect with one another via voice at the scheduled prayer time.
May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord shine the light of His face upon you and be gracious to you; and may the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and grant you shalom!
יברכך יהוה וישמרך
יאר יהוה פניו אליך ויחנך
ישא יהוה פניו אליך וישם לך שׁלום
As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord.
אָנֹכִי וּבֵיתִ֔י נַעֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־ יַהְוֶה
יברכך יהוה וישמרך
יאר יהוה פניו אליך ויחנך
ישא יהוה פניו אליך וישם לך שׁלום
As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord.
