The message, "Reborn to Flourish, Part 2: Treachery" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 6/27/2026.

"Reborn to Flourish" is an exposition of Proverbs 6:16-19—a passage that identifies seven things opposed to God's heart. At the center of the passage is the love God has for His children and His call for us to return to Him. The series will work backward through the list, identifying discord as a fruit that comes forth from a heart rooted in pride and other fleshly concerns. It will then emphasize God's transformational love that will revitalize the root and send forth tender branches and bountiful fruit.

Topics covered in Part 2: The bearing false witness is treachery; it is the root of evil that feeds into this fruit, causing havoc in the kingdom God is building. The only remedy for this poison is a humble heart that submits to the truth of God on account of the redemption we have in Yeshua.

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for the LORD to keep our hearts focused on building one another up in the faith in our redemption, encouraging one another and directing one another to the Father's love, understood according to His Word with the Holy Spirit.

First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day on 6/27/2026 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: Balak (Balak): Numbers 22:2-25:9; Micah 5:7-6:8; Matthew 21:1-11. Please study these passages during Erev Shabbat (the evening before the Sabbath day) on Bible Gateway and Logos.

During our in-house and online segment, Pastor Andrew J. Manuse will present the second message in a new series, called "Reborn to Flourish," which will be an exposition of Proverbs 6:16-19—a passage that identifies seven things opposed to God's heart. At the center of the passage is the love God has for His children and His call for us to return to Him. The series will work backward through the list, identifying discord, and now treachery as fruit that comes forth from a heart rooted in pride and other fleshly concerns. It will then emphasize God's transformational love that will revitalize the root and send forth tender branches and bountiful fruit.

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 view and share our previous sermon series:

• "The Helper" is a 7-part study on how the Holy Spirit of God speaks, moves among, leads, and empowers God's people to unite them into an eternal covenant relationship with Him.
• "Who is Yeshua the Messiah?" is a 28-part study of Christology, which focuses on the identity, nature, and work of Messiah Yeshua relative to His divinity, humanity, mission, and position in the eternal plan.
• "Elementary Principles of Messiah Yeshua" is a 19-part study 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.
• "Community" is a 15-part sermon series about the desired culture at First Fruits Ministries. It is intended to provide a lasting overview of who we are and what congregants should expect as they come into fellowship with us.

During our second “rewind” in-house service that we hope to begin around 3 p.m. EDT, Pastor Daniel Joseph will deliver Part 19 from his series, called: "The Book of James" for Corner Fringe Ministries.

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:

• First Fruits Ministries (Manchester, NH) 
• Corner Fringe Ministries (Coon Rapids, MN)
• Corner Fringe Ministries—Dixon (Dixon, IL)
• The Bridge Fellowship (Brenham, TX)
• Epic Life Terrell (Terrell, TX)

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. 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. 

Pastor Stephen Opoku, an Elder at First Fruits Ministries and Pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries, leads First Fruits Ministries' Signal Prayer group meeting each week at 9:30 a.m. on Fridays, with announced exceptions, to pray for God's will to be done at First Fruits Ministries. Please click the image below and join us for our weekly prayer meetings as your schedule allows. We use the Signal group to connect with one another in an A/V meeting at the scheduled prayer time. Members may choose to only join with an audio connection, though a video connection is also possible.

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.

Please join our brothers and sisters in the name of the LORD from many different churches who will be locking shields to pray for our region as part of the New England Revival Covenant. Here's more information about the NE Covenant: https://www.newenglandrevivalcovenant.org.

First Fruits Ministries co-hosted a regional prayer night in on 3/1/2026 with Calvary Chapel as part of the New England Revival Covenant prayer series. During the transformational event, Pastor Andrew offered a devotional to help participants break away from bondage agreements and make agreements with God's Word instead, leading to freedom in Messiah Yeshua. Please download the devotional here or use the QR code for your continued use and let Pastor Andrew know if you have any questions.

Starting at 7 p.m. on 6/9/2025, First Fruits Ministries' worship leader Aidan Rose Manuse will direct our monthly Ladies Only Bible study, which is open exclusively to biologically born women seeking sisterly fellowship centered around the Word of God. Women are invited to register to join us on Zoom or join us in person at 60 Bailey Ave. in Manchester, NH, in the basement meeting room. Come with a positive and inquisitive attitude that is seeking a deeper relationship with Yeshua the Messiah and your sisters in the faith. All denominations of Christians, Jews, and others seeking the Truth are welcome to attend. This meeting will be held on the second Tuesday of every month. Come in person or...

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.)

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, 6/23/2026.

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.

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.

First Fruits Ministries is excited to announce the launch of Whole Bible Community (WBC), a united group of Yeshua followers in love with YHWH through His Torah, guided by His Holy Spirit. Our overseeing church Corner Fringe Ministries is behind the effort to launch this new platform! Here are some of the many elements you will find on this new platform:

Join the community today!

First Fruits Ministries is an affiliate of Corner Fringe Ministries, which is the leader of a council of churches that includes many members all around the world.

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!

The message, "The Helper, Part 7: The Spirit Empowers," was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 6/13/2026.

"The Helper" explores the identity, work, presence, and purpose of the Holy Spirit of God. Sermons will explore Who the Spirit is, how the Spirit reveals Truth, how the relationship between God's people and the Holy Spirit changed between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, how the Spirit relates with God's people, what the Spirit produces in the lives of believers of Yeshua, what Fruit of the Spirit we ought to observe in the lives of believers, and the final purpose for the Spirit's work in the world.

Topics covered in Part 7: The seventh and final message is about the consummation of all things that the Holy Spirit of God is now working into us. While we currently experience the Father and the Son’s presence in us through the sanctifying power of His Holy Spirit, and He is currently shaping those of us humble enough to submit to His will, we who endure in our faith will one day experience the promised unity with God that is far beyond our current comprehension. We relate with God now, even intimately, because the Holy Spirit dwells in us, but we will ultimately relate with Him like a Bride adorned for her Husband, and we will reign with the King of kings and LORD of Lords as His Helpmate in His Kingdom forever. Our glorification for the glory of God is one of the greatest mysteries of our faith, and yet God’s Word gives us a glimpse of this promised reality, specifically so that we might have hope today for what awaits us in our persistent faithfulness.

The message, "The Helper, Part 6: The Spirit Empowers," was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 6/6/2026.

"The Helper" explores the identity, work, presence, and purpose of the Holy Spirit of God. Sermons will explore Who the Spirit is, how the Spirit reveals Truth, how the relationship between God's people and the Holy Spirit changed between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, how the Spirit relates with God's people, what the Spirit produces in the lives of believers of Yeshua, what Fruit of the Spirit we ought to observe in the lives of believers, and the final purpose for the Spirit's work in the world.

Topics covered in Part 6: With God’s Word recorded through the Prophets and Apostles in the Scriptures, this message explores how the Holy Spirit empowers each believer to carry Yeshua’s “ministry of reconciliation” to others. We each have a part to play in God’s plan to multiply fruit for His Kingdom, and God uses us together for His good purposes according to His Word. That being said, we do not all have the same calling or the same function within the Body, and we need to learn to discern how the Holy Spirit is empowering each of us to build up the Body and make disciples for Yeshua to the glory of God.

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.

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. 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. 

NOTE: We will be witnessing our next baptisms at 11 a.m. on 6/21/2026, God willing. Please contact Pastor Andrew for details if you are interested in joining your brothers and sisters in the water or to pray along the riverside. 

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.)

Pastor Stephen Opoku, an Elder at First Fruits Ministries and Pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries, leads First Fruits Ministries' Signal Prayer group meeting each week at 9:30 a.m. on Fridays, with announced exceptions, to pray for God's will to be done at First Fruits Ministries. Please click the image below and join us for our weekly prayer meetings as your schedule allows. We use the Signal group to connect with one another in an A/V meeting at the scheduled prayer time. Members may choose to only join with an audio connection, though a video connection is also possible.

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.

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, 6/23/2026.

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.

Starting at 7 p.m. on 6/9/2025, First Fruits Ministries' worship leader Aidan Rose Manuse will direct our monthly Ladies Only Bible study, which is open exclusively to biologically born women seeking sisterly fellowship centered around the Word of God. Women are invited to register to join us on Zoom or join us in person at 60 Bailey Ave. in Manchester, NH, in the basement meeting room. Come with a positive and inquisitive attitude that is seeking a deeper relationship with Yeshua the Messiah and your sisters in the faith. All denominations of Christians, Jews, and others seeking the Truth are welcome to attend. This meeting will be held on the second Tuesday of every month. Come in person or...

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.

First Fruits Ministries is excited to announce the launch of Whole Bible Community (WBC), a united group of Yeshua followers in love with YHWH through His Torah, guided by His Holy Spirit.

If you'd like to be included, please email Pastor Mike Sutcliffe, the online pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries.

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!

The message, "The Helper, Part 5: The Spirit Leads," was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 5/30/2026. 

"The Helper" explores the identity, work, presence, and purpose of the Holy Spirit of God. Sermons will explore Who the Spirit is, how the Spirit reveals Truth, how the relationship between God's people and the Holy Spirit changed between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, how the Spirit relates with God's people, what the Spirit produces in the lives of believers of Yeshua, what Fruit of the Spirit we ought to observe in the lives of believers, and the final purpose for the Spirit's work in the world.

Topics covered in Part 5: Today’s message will build upon the foundation of the New Covenant's advent by explaining what it means for believers to have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. We will examine how the Holy Spirit leads the faithful into willing obedience to Torah properly understood through the lens of Yeshua’s loving example. The Father now empowers those who are sealed by the Holy Spirit to endure in their obedience to God’s commandments and faith in Yeshua through daily surrender that transforms us into His image.

The message, "The Helper, Part 4: The Spirit Relates (Shavuot)," was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 5/23/2026.

"The Helper" explores the identity, work, presence, and purpose of the Holy Spirit of God. Sermons will explore Who the Spirit is, how the Spirit reveals Truth, how the relationship between God's people and the Holy Spirit changed between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, how the Spirit relates with God's people, what the Spirit produces in the lives of believers of Yeshua, what Fruit of the Spirit we ought to observe in the lives of believers, and the final purpose for the Spirit's work in the world.

Topics covered in Part 4: The Spirit relates with God’s people through the New Covenant established on faith in Yeshua, which is expressed in obedience to the Father’s commandments. From the beginning of creation, God has always desired to dwell among His people, and after setting the terms for this relationship with His people for our blessing, He has decidedly moved into communion with the humble and obedient men and women who love Him and say “yes” to His calling. It was actually on Shavuot (Pentecost), the central feast of seven, when God descended two times to establish a covenant with His people, and the second was a better covenant than the first. Shavuot (Pentecost) represents the present age between the resurrection of Messiah Yeshua on Firstfruits (Resurrection Sunday) and His promised return during the Feast of Trumpets, when He will gather His people together with Him. Both the law of God and the Spirit of God were given at Shavuot to prepare us for this consummation.

"You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour, baked with leaven as first fruits to the LORD." (Leviticus 23:17)  Shavuot commemorates three things: the day the first fruits of the wheat harvest were brought into the temple; the day the Law was written on stone by the Finger of God (Holy Spirit); and the day the Law began to be written on hearts through the Holy Spirit.

Please take off of work from 5/22/2026 sundown for the Sabbath until 5/24/2026 sundown, because the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost) is a Sabbath Day.

The Counting of the Omer began on Firstfruits (4/5/2026) and continues until Pentecost/Shavuot on 5/24/2026 this year. Here is a devotional to use during that time period created by Pastor Mike Sutcliffe of CFM Dixon. You are invited to contemplate the LORD's purpose for this on your own.

First Fruits Ministries co-hosted a regional prayer night in on 3/1/2026 with Calvary Chapel as part of the New England Revival Covenant prayer series. During the transformational event, Pastor Andrew offered a devotional to help participants break away from bondage agreements and make agreements with God's Word instead, leading to freedom in Messiah Yeshua. Please download the devotional here for your continued use and let Pastor Andrew know if you have any questions.

Starting at 7 p.m. on 6/9/2025, First Fruits Ministries' worship leader Aidan Rose Manuse will direct our monthly Ladies Only Bible study, which is open exclusively to biologically born women seeking sisterly fellowship centered around the Word of God. Women are invited to register to join us on Zoom or join us in person at 60 Bailey Ave. in Manchester, NH, in the basement meeting room. Come with a positive and inquisitive attitude that is seeking a deeper relationship with Yeshua the Messiah and your sisters in the faith. All denominations of Christians, Jews, and others seeking the Truth are welcome to attend. This meeting will be held on the second Tuesday of every month. Come in person or...

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.

(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.)

Pastor Stephen Opoku, an Elder at First Fruits Ministries and Pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries, leads First Fruits Ministries' Signal Prayer group meeting each week at 9:30 a.m. on Fridays, with announced exceptions, to pray for God's will to be done at First Fruits Ministries. Please click the image below and join us for our weekly prayer meetings as your schedule allows. We use the Signal group to connect with one another in an A/V meeting at the scheduled prayer time. Members may choose to only join with an audio connection, though a video connection is also possible.

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.

First Fruits Ministries is excited to announce the launch of Whole Bible Community (WBC), a united group of Yeshua followers in love with YHWH through His Torah, guided by His Holy Spirit. Our overseeing church Corner Fringe Ministries is behind the effort to launch this new platform! Here are some of the many elements you will find on this new platform:

Hebrew Social Network
Feast Day Finder
Fellowship Finder
Torah Resources
Hebrew Marketplace

Join the community today!

First Fruits Ministries is an affiliate of Corner Fringe Ministries, which is the leader of a council of churches that includes many members all around the world. Many of our online members feel isolated without nearby fellowship. Hopefully our Corner Fringe Ministries Fellow Fringers map will help make connections. If you'd like to be included, please email Pastor Mike Sutcliffe, the online pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries.

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

The message, "The Helper, Part 3: The Spirit Moves," was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 5/16/2026. 

"The Helper" explores the identity, work, presence, and purpose of the Holy Spirit of God. Sermons will explore Who the Spirit is, how the Spirit reveals Truth, how the relationship between God's people and the Holy Spirit changed between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, how the Spirit relates with God's people, what the Spirit produces in the lives of believers of Yeshua, what Fruit of the Spirit we ought to observe in the lives of believers, and the final purpose for the Spirit's work in the world.

Topics covered in Part 3: The Spirit has not changed over time because God does not change. The Spirit has never taught different commandments to God’s people, and He has always called for His people to faithfully trust in Him, because God is good and He desires blessings for His people. The Spirit’s anointing and indwelling presence has always interacted with God’s chosen people in the same way, and God’s people have always been called to endure in faithfulness lest they quench the Spirit of God and fall away from grace. That being said, the New Covenant is “a better covenant” with “better promises,” and that means there have been measurable changes with how the Holy Spirit interacts with God’s set-apart people and who constitutes that group of people. In the Old Covenant, the Holy Spirit fell upon and dwelt within a select group of people who filled certain roles according to God’s purposes, and the Spirit did not even interact with all Israel, let alone the Gentiles. In the New Covenant He falls upon and dwells within all flesh—Jews and Gentiles alike—so long as we belong to God through faith in Messiah Yeshua. It is faith in Messiah Yeshua—who He is and what He has done for us—that has changed everything!

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for the LORD to help us surrender to His will for our lives according to the Holy Scriptures as the Holy Spirit convicts us.

First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day on 5/16/2026 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: Bamidbar (In the wilderness): Numbers 1:1-4:20; 1 Samuel 20:18-42; Matthew 24:29-36. Please study these passages during Erev Shabbat (the evening before the Sabbath day) on Bible Gateway or Logos.

During our in-house and online segment, Pastor Andrew J. Manuse will present the third message in his series, called "The Helper," which will explore the identity, work, presence, and purpose of the Holy Spirit of God. Sermons will explore Who the Spirit is, how the Spirit reveals Truth, how the relationship between God's people and the Holy Spirit changed between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, how the Spirit relates with God's people, what the Spirit produces in the lives of believers of Yeshua, what Fruit of the Spirit we ought to observe in the lives of believers, and the final purpose for the Spirit's work in the world.

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. Also, the 2026 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.

Please view and share our previous sermon series:

• "Who is Yeshua the Messiah?" is a 28-part study of Christology, which focuses on the identity, nature, and work of Messiah Yeshua relative to His divinity, humanity, mission, and position in the eternal plan.
• "Elementary Principles of Messiah Yeshua" is a 19-part study 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.
• "Community" is a 15-part sermon series about the desired culture at First Fruits Ministries. It is intended to provide a lasting overview of who we are and what congregants should expect as they come in to fellowship with us.

During our second “rewind” in-house service that we hope to begin around 3 p.m. EDT, Pastor Mike Skahan of Epic Life Church in Terrell, TX, will deliver a message for Corner Fringe Ministries, called "Spirit and Truth." Join us to watch the sermon in person at First Fruits Ministries or join Corner Fringe online at: https://www.youtube.com/@CornerFringeChannel/streams.

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:

• First Fruits Ministries (Manchester, NH) 
• Corner Fringe Ministries (Coon Rapids, MN)
• Corner Fringe Ministries—Dixon (Dixon, IL)
• The Bridge Fellowship (Brenham, TX)
• Epic Life Terrell (Terrell, TX)

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.

Three recent teachings from CFM's Pastor Daniel are worth your immediate attention:

• Ask the Pastor: Can Women Lead?
• Ask the Pastor: Cremation vs. Burial
• Ask the Pastor: Sodom

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. 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. 

First Fruits Ministries will gather from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. EDT on 5/24/2026 for the Feast of Weeks, which is called Shavuot in Hebrew and Pentecost in Greek. This celebration is open to all faithful followers of Yeshua. Doors open at 2:45 p.m. We will be celebrating Oneg first for a late lunch/early dinner, and then afterward participating in Corner Fringe Ministries' livestream at 5 p.m. for our service.

"You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour, baked with leaven as first fruits to the LORD." (Leviticus 23:17)  Shavuot commemorates three things: the day the first fruits of the wheat harvest were brought into the temple; the day the Law was written on stone by the Finger of God (Holy Spirit); and the day the Law began to be written on hearts through the Holy Spirit.

Please take off of work from 5/22/2026 sundown for the Sabbath until 5/24/2026 sundown, because the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost) is a Sabbath Day.

The Counting of the Omer began on Firstfruits (4/5/2026) and continues until Pentecost/Shavuot on 5/24/2026 this year. Here is a devotional to use during that time period created by Pastor Mike Sutcliffe of CFM Dixon. You are invited to contemplate the LORD's purpose for this on your own.

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, 5/26/2026.

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.

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.

The message, "The Helper, Part 2: The Spirit Speaks," was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 5/9/2026. 

"The Helper" explores the identity, work, presence, and purpose of the Holy Spirit of God. Sermons will explore Who the Spirit is, how the Spirit reveals Truth, how the relationship between God's people and the Holy Spirit changed between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, how the Spirit relates with God's people, what the Spirit produces in the lives of believers of Yeshua, what Fruit of the Spirit we ought to observe in the lives of believers, and the final purpose for the Spirit's work in the world.

Topics covered in Part 2: Because the Holy Spirit is God, when He speaks, God speaks; therefore, we must learn to discern His voice from deception. The Holy Spirit speaks the Word of God, distinguishes true prophecy from false prophecy, and exposes rebellion against God’s revelation. The Spirit is the source of all true revelation from God, and therefore rejecting Him is rejecting God's own speech to you. Other topics: Scripture breathed out through prophets by the spirit, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, spiritual discernment.

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.

First Fruits Ministries is excited to announce the launch of Whole Bible Community (WBC), a united group of Yeshua followers in love with YHWH through His Torah, guided by His Holy Spirit. Our overseeing church Corner Fringe Ministries is behind the effort to launch this new platform! Here are some of the many elements you will find on this new platform:

Hebrew Social Network
Feast Day Finder
Fellowship Finder
Torah Resources
Hebrew Marketplace

Join the community today!

First Fruits Ministries is an affiliate of Corner Fringe Ministries, which is the leader of a council of churches that includes many members all around the world. Many of our online members feel isolated without nearby fellowship. Hopefully our Corner Fringe Ministries Fellow Fringers map will help make connections. If you'd like to be included, please email Pastor Mike Sutcliffe, the online pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries.

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

The message, "The Helper: Part 1, The Spirit Is God," was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 5/2/2026.

"The Helper" explores the identity, work, presence, and purpose of the Holy Spirit of God. Sermons will explore Who the Spirit is, how the Spirit reveals Truth, how the relationship between God's people and the Holy Spirit changed between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, how the Spirit relates with God's people, what the Spirit produces in the lives of believers of Yeshua, what Fruit of the Spirit we ought to observe in the lives of believers, and the final purpose for the Spirit's work in the world.

Topics covered in Part 1: A) The Helper. Summary/Intro. Nature of God. Made in His Image. The Spirit transforms believers into Messiah's image and makes them God’s temple—this is the Spirit actively restoring what sin fractured. B) The Spirit of God is God (not force, not lesser, full deity, part of Godhead) and the Presence of God. The Spirit does not introduce a new God. He reveals the same God. God is One. C) The Spirit Reveals Yeshua rightly: The Spirit reveals the Son rightly understood. How do we live in relationship with Him? We are created in God’s image and the Spirit restores that image.

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for the LORD's anointing on our ministries for the good of His Kingdom and for the magnification of His glory!

First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day on 5/2/2026 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: Emor (Say): Leviticus 21:1-24:23; Ezekiel 44:15-31; Matthew 26:59-66. Please study these passages during Erev Shabbat (the evening before the Sabbath day) on Bible Gateway and Logos.

During our in-house and online segment, Pastor Andrew J. Manuse will present the first message in a new series, called "The Helper," which will explore the identity, work, presence, and purpose of the Holy Spirit of God. Sermons will explore Who the Spirit is, how the Spirit reveals Truth, how the relationship between God's people and the Holy Spirit changed between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, how the Spirit relates with God's people, what the Spirit produces in the lives of believers of Yeshua, what Fruit of the Spirit we ought to observe in the lives of believers, and the final purpose for the Spirit's work in the world.

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. Also, the 2026 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.

Please view and share our previous sermon series:

• "Who is Yeshua the Messiah?" is a 28-part study of Christology, which focuses on the identity, nature, and work of Messiah Yeshua relative to His divinity, humanity, mission, and position in the eternal plan.
• "Elementary Principles of Messiah Yeshua" is a 19-part study 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.
• "Community" is a 15-part sermon series about the desired culture at First Fruits Ministries. It is intended to provide a lasting overview of who we are and what congregants should expect as they come in to fellowship with us.

During our second “rewind” in-house service that we hope to begin around 3 p.m. EDT, Pastor Daniel Joseph of CFM will deliver the 15th part of his sermon 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.

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:

• First Fruits Ministries (Manchester, NH) 
• Corner Fringe Ministries (Coon Rapids, MN)
• Corner Fringe Ministries—Dixon (Dixon, IL)
• The Bridge Fellowship (Brenham, TX)
• Epic Life Terrell (Terrell, TX)

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.

Three recent teachings from CFM's Pastor Daniel are worth your immediate attention:

• Ask the Pastor: Can Women Lead?
• Ask the Pastor: Cremation vs. Burial
• Ask the Pastor: Sodom

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. 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. 

Ninety percent of Christians live defeated lives—struggling with bad habits, negative thoughts, irrational feelings, habitual sin, or things from their past. It's time for deliverance!

Based on the book "The Bondage Breaker" by Neil T. Anderson, our Bondage Breaker Class is a 12-week online course about spiritual warfare. The course will be led by FFM Pastor Andrew J. Manuse and Fellow Fringer Anna North.

The next Bondage Breaker course will begin on 5/27/2026 and will run through 8/12/2026. Classes will start at 8 p.m. EDT and end at 9:30 EDT on the Fourth Day of the Week for a 12-week commitment. All men and women (in-house or online attendees) are invited to apply for the class.

If interested, email Discipleship@cornerfringe.com. You will be sent a questionnaire to fill out to evaluate your spiritual readiness for the class. Registration deadline is May 13.

Those interested in joining our Mighty Men or Women of Valor discipleship programs will need this class as a pre-requisite.

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.

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.)

First Fruits Ministries will gather from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. EDT on 5/24/2026 for the Feast of Weeks, which is called Shavuot in Hebrew and Pentecost in Greek. This celebration is open to all faithful followers of Yeshua. Doors open at 2:45 p.m. We will be celebrating Oneg first for a late lunch/early dinner, and then afterward participating in Corner Fringe Ministries' livestream at 5 p.m. for our service.

"You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour, baked with leaven as first fruits to the LORD." (Leviticus 23:17)  Shavuot commemorates three things: the day the first fruits of the wheat harvest were brought into the temple; the day the Law was written on stone by the Finger of God (Holy Spirit); and the day the Law began to be written on hearts through the Holy Spirit.

Please take off of work from 5/22/2026 sundown for the Sabbath until 5/24/2026 sundown, because the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost) is a Sabbath Day.

The Counting of the Omer began on Firstfruits (4/5/2026) and continues until Pentecost/Shavuot on 5/24/2026 this year. Here is a devotional to use during that time period created by Pastor Mike Sutcliffe of CFM Dixon. You are invited to contemplate the LORD's purpose for this on your own.

Starting at 7 p.m. on 5/12/2025, First Fruits Ministries' worship leader Aidan Rose Manuse will direct our monthly Ladies Only Bible study, which is open exclusively to biologically born women seeking sisterly fellowship centered around the Word of God. Women are invited to register to join us on Zoom or join us in person at 60 Bailey Ave. in Manchester, NH, in the basement meeting room. Come with a positive and inquisitive attitude that is seeking a deeper relationship with Yeshua the Messiah and your sisters in the faith. All denominations of Christians, Jews, and others seeking the Truth are welcome to attend. This meeting will be held on the second Tuesday of every month. Come in person or...

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, 5/26/2026.

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.

Pastor Stephen Opoku, an Elder at First Fruits Ministries and Pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries, leads First Fruits Ministries' Signal Prayer group meeting each week at 9:30 a.m. on Fridays, with announced exceptions, to pray for God's will to be done at First Fruits Ministries. Please click the image below and join us for our weekly prayer meetings as your schedule allows. We use the Signal group to connect with one another in an A/V meeting at the scheduled prayer time. Members may choose to only join with an audio connection, though a video connection is also possible.

First Fruits Ministries co-hosted a prayer night in early March with Calvary Chapel as part of the New England Revival Covenant. During the transformational event, Pastor Andrew offered a devotional to help participants break away from bondage agreements and make agreements with God's Word instead, leading to freedom in Messiah Yeshua. Please download the devotional here for your continued use and let Pastor Andrew know if you have any questions.

The message, Who Is Yeshua the Messiah?, Part 28: We Ought to Worship Yeshua, was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 4/25/2026.

Topics covered: Simply stated, the conclusion to our series is this: Because we stand with complete trust in Yeshua’s identity as God, there is only one necessary and logical response that we ought to have: We ought to pray to Yeshua and we ought to worship Yeshua, just as we pray to the Father and worship the Father. Because Yeshua is God, prayer to and worship of Yeshua as God is essential faith. This is a faith I pray Yeshua gives to each and every one of you. Who is Yeshua the Messiah? He is our LORD and our God!

Pastor Kraig's son Grant Dorney led the way in our community by giving his testimony of transformation from darkness to light and from death to life in Messiah Yeshua on 6/14/2025. If anyone else would like to give his or her own testimony after our weekly sermon, please talk to Pastor Andrew privately about your interest so he can determine whether and when you could go on camera. Understand that truly transformational testimonies have huge potential to change hearts and minds and build up God's people.

Let Grant's leadership be our guide. Please also share his story with those who will benefit from hearing it. Thanks to Grant for his willingness to lead in this way and for Yeshua for His long-suffering and mercy, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).

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!

The message, Who Is Yeshua the Messiah?, Part 27: We Ought to Pray to Yeshua, was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 4/18/2026.

Topics covered: Our faith in Yeshua’s identity ought to result in action. We ought to pray to Him and worship Him, we ought to depend on Him for everything, we ought to follow His Word and His example, and we ought to surrender our lives to Him completely. When we do this, Scripture isn’t just going to be something we read together but it’s going to be something we experience together. Sermon covers John 17:3, the LORD's Prayer in Matthew 6 and Luke 11, and other passages.

First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day on 4/18/2026 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 double Torah Portion called: Tazria-Mtzora (Conceived-Leper): Leviticus 12:1-15:33; Isaiah 66:1-24; Mark 9:40-50. Please study these passages during Erev Shabbat (the evening before the Sabbath day) on Bible Gateway or Logos.

During our in-house and online segment, Pastor Andrew J. Manuse will present Part 27 of his series, called "Who Is Yeshua the Messiah?," which will focus on prayer to Yeshua as our LORD and our God. This series will comprise a study of Christology, which focuses on the identity, nature, and work of Messiah Yeshua relative to His divinity, humanity, mission, and position in the eternal plan.

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. Also, the 2026 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.

During our second “rewind” in-house service that we hope to begin around 3 p.m. EDT, Pastor Mike Sutcliffe of CFM Dixon will deliver a sermon, called "You Can Take A Slave Out of Egypt..." Join us to watch the sermon in person at First Fruits Ministries or join Corner Fringe online at: https://www.youtube.com/@CornerFringeChannel/streams.

First Fruits Ministries is part of an affiliated group of churches that include five so far, and we invite you to review the many teachings available through our YouTube channels prior to moving on to other resources.

Two recent teachings from Pastor Daniel worth considering, include:

• Ask the Pastor: Can Women Lead?
• Ask the Pastor: Cremation vs. Burial

Here's direct links to YouTube sites for Corner Fringe Ministries, Corner Fringe Ministries—Dixon, The Bridge Fellowship, and Epic Life Terrell. You might next consider reviewing the YouTube pages for our ministry friends, which include: The Grafted Church and Olive Branch Fellowship Sequin. When you feel the need to watch YouTube for Biblical exploration, we encourage you to check these pages and our own YouTube page first for teachings you haven't seen. 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.

That being said, the best way to learn more about God is to read His Word in the Bible and pray for His guidance, and we do hope you are doing that daily. We also urge you to attend weekly Shabbat services and our weekly and monthly Bible studies in person, as well as our discipleship offerings through Corner Fringe Ministries. 

First Fruits Ministries will gather from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. EDT on 5/24/2026 for the Feast of Weeks, which is called Shavuot in Hebrew and Pentecost in Greek. This celebration is open to all faithful followers of Yeshua. Doors open at 2 p.m. We will be celebrating Oneg first for a late lunch/early dinner, and then afterward participating in Corner Fringe Ministries' livestream at 5 p.m. for our service.

"You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour, baked with leaven as first fruits to the LORD." (Leviticus 23:17)  Shavuot commemorates three things: the day the first fruits of the wheat harvest were brought into the temple; the day the Law was written on stone by the Finger of God (Holy Spirit); and the day the Law began to be written on hearts through the Holy Spirit.

Please take off of work from 5/22/2026 sundown for the Sabbath until 5/24/2026 sundown, because the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost) is a Sabbath Day.

The Counting of the Omer began on Firstfruits (4/5/2026) and continues until Pentecost/Shavuot on 5/24/2026 this year. Here is a devotional to use during that time period created by Pastor Mike Sutcliffe of CFM Dixon. You are invited to contemplate the LORD's purpose for this on your own.

Ninety percent of Christians live defeated lives—struggling with bad habits, negative thoughts, irrational feelings, habitual sin, or things from their past. It's time for deliverance!

Based on the book "The Bondage Breaker" by Neil T. Anderson, our Bondage Breaker Class is a 12-week online course about spiritual warfare. The course will be led by FFM Pastor Andrew J. Manuse and Fellow Fringer Anna North.

The next Bondage Breaker course will begin on 5/27/2026 and will run through 8/12/2026. Classes will start at 8 p.m. EDT and end at 9:30 EDT on the Fourth Day of the Week for a 12-week commitment. All men and women (in-house or online attendees) are invited to apply for the class.

If interested, email Discipleship@cornerfringe.com. You will be sent a questionnaire to fill out to evaluate your spiritual readiness for the class. Registration deadline is May 13.

Those interested in joining our Mighty Men or Women of Valor discipleship programs will need this class as a pre-requisite.

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 times. 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.

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 either in-house in our basement meeting room at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, or online via Zoom (pre-registration required) and bring your questions to explore in real time with Pastor Andrew for live Bible exploration. Doors will open at 7:15 p.m. in house and online, and content will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 4/28/2026.

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.

First Fruits Ministries is excited to announce the launch of WBC, a united group of Yeshua followers in love with YHWH through His Torah, guided by His Holy Spirit. Our overseeing church Corner Fringe Ministries is behind the effort to launch this new platform! You can join today and support the community from the ground up during its early launch phase. Here are some of the many elements you will find on this new platform:

Pastor Stephen Opoku, an Elder at First Fruits Ministries and Pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries, leads First Fruits Ministries' Signal Prayer group meeting each week at 9:30 a.m. on Fridays, with announced exceptions, to pray for God's will to be done at First Fruits Ministries. Please click the image below and join us for our weekly prayer meetings as your schedule allows. We use the Signal group to connect with one another in an A/V meeting at the scheduled prayer time. Members may choose to only join with an audio connection, though a video connection is also possible.

First Fruits Ministries is an affiliate of Corner Fringe Ministries, which is the leader of a council of churches that includes many members all around the world. Many of our online members feel isolated without nearby fellowship. Hopefully our Corner Fringe Ministries Fellow Fringers map will help make connections. If you'd like to be included, please email Pastor Mike Sutcliffe, the online pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries.

First Fruits Ministries co-hosted a prayer night in early March with Calvary Chapel as part of the New England Revival Covenant. During the transformational event, Pastor Andrew offered a devotional to help participants break away from bondage agreements and make agreements with God's Word instead, leading to freedom in Messiah Yeshua. Please download the devotional here for your continued use and let Pastor Andrew know if you have any questions.

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.

Pastor Kraig's son Grant Dorney led the way in our community by giving his testimony of transformation from darkness to light and from death to life in Messiah Yeshua on 6/14/2025. If anyone else would like to give his or her own testimony after our weekly sermon, please talk to Pastor Andrew privately about your interest so he can determine whether and when you could go on camera. Understand that truly transformational testimonies have huge potential to change hearts and minds and build up God's people.

Let Grant's leadership be our guide. Please also share his story with those who will benefit from hearing it. Thanks to Grant for his willingness to lead in this way and for Yeshua for His long-suffering and mercy, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).

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

The message, Who Is Yeshua the Messiah?, Part 26: The Metaphors (Part 5), was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 4/11/2026.

Topics covered: We’re going to start in Isaiah 52-53 to introduce imagery of Messiah Yeshua as “the Arm of the LORD” who now sits at the “right hand” of the Father. It was indeed God’s “right hand” of power that also grew a tender Branch out of the stump of David’s lineage, and now we must be grafted-in to this Branch in order to bear fruit for God’s Kingdom. These are related metaphors that present Messiah Yeshua as a vulnerable heir and an invincible deliverer, the one who now stands victorious at the throne of God.

The message, Who Is Yeshua the Messiah?, Part 25: The Metaphors (Part 4 ) The Suffering Servant, was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 4/4/2026.

Topics covered: On account of today’s significance as the High Sabbath during Passover, it seemed more than appropriate to focus on the “Servant” motif today, or more specifically, the “Suffering Servant” description used in Isaiah 52:13-53:12. This passage prophetically describes Yeshua’s advent perfectly—so much so that it’s often referred to as “The Gospel According to Isaiah. ” In covering this section, we’re going to use a different approach than we’ve been using with the other metaphor messages in this series. Even though we can find the “Servant” metaphor all throughout the Tanakh, we’re really just going to hone in on this passage in Isaiah and its timeless significance. We’re going to start with the history of the passage as well as some historical interpretations of it and even some apologetics before we move into a high-level comparison with the Gospel account of Yeshua’s death and resurrection.

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.

Based on the book "The Bondage Breaker" by Neil T. Anderson, our Bondage Breaker Class is a 12-week online course about spiritual warfare. It is a pre-requisite for anyone wanting to enroll in Mighty Men or Women of Valor.

Registration is now Open. To register email us at Discipleship@CornerFringe.com. You will be placed in the cue to receive updates on the start date for the next session.

The next Bondage Breaker course will be led by FFM Pastor Andrew J. Manuse and Fellow Fringer Anna North.

If you haven't been participating with Pastor Andrew's daily Bible study and commentary, you can still read the commentary notes from Pastor Andrew J. Manuse, starting with the Torah and Joshua. Later in the year, commentaries on additional Bible sections will be published. This commentary is not a comprehensive line-by-line interpretation, but rather a collection of interpretations that stuck out from the reading for each day studied. To find what you're looking for on the page, do a search for the chapter name and number, i.e., "Leviticus 23"—it will come right up. Take a look by clicking here.

Pastor Stephen Opoku, an Elder at First Fruits Ministries and Pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries, leads First Fruits Ministries' Signal Prayer group meeting each week at 9:30 a.m. on Fridays, with announced exceptions, to pray for God's will to be done at First Fruits Ministries. Please click the image below and join us for our weekly prayer meetings as your schedule allows. We use the Signal group to connect with one another in an A/V meeting at the scheduled prayer time. Members may choose to only join with an audio connection, though a video connection is also possible.

First Fruits Ministries is an affiliate of Corner Fringe Ministries, which is the leader of a council of churches that includes many members all around the world. Many of our online members feel isolated without nearby fellowship. Hopefully our Corner Fringe Ministries Fellow Fringers map will help make connections. If you'd like to be included, please email Pastor Mike Sutcliffe, the online pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries.

First Fruits Ministries co-hosted a prayer night in early March with Calvary Chapel as part of the New England Revival Covenant. During the transformational event, Pastor Andrew offered a devotional to help participants break away from bondage agreements and make agreements with God's Word instead, leading to freedom in Messiah Yeshua. Please download the devotional here for your continued use and let Pastor Andrew know if you have any questions.

The Bridge Fellowship in Brenham, TX, has released video archives of the messages given during the revival conference, "Raise the Standard," which was held in Brenham, Texas, from 1/15-17/2026.

• Pastor Daniel's Sabbath message for the conference was called "the Narrow Path." If you listen to nothing else from anyone else, please listen to this and make sure that you listen to the whole thing beginning to end. This is one of the most important messages ever preached, and it is life to you.
• Here's Pastor Mike Sutcliffe's message, called "Spiritual Stillborns," about true discipleship in the Body of Yeshua.
• Here's a Q&A with Pastor Daniel relative to key questions about the faith that took place on 1/15/2026 for early participants.
• You can also review Pastor Andrew's message, called "Linking Shields," which summarized key takeaways from the meeting and added a few important insights.
• Here's Pastor Daniel's 1/16/2026 message to Pastors, called, "To the Shepherds," which you will all benefit to hear.  

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.

Pastor Kraig's son Grant Dorney led the way in our community by giving his testimony of transformation from darkness to light and from death to life in Messiah Yeshua on 6/14/2025. If anyone else would like to give his or her own testimony after our weekly sermon, please talk to Pastor Andrew privately about your interest so he can determine whether and when you could go on camera. Understand that truly transformational testimonies have huge potential to change hearts and minds and build up God's people.

Let Grant's leadership be our guide. Please also share his story with those who will benefit from hearing it. Thanks to Grant for his willingness to lead in this way and for Yeshua for His long-suffering and mercy, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).

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.
