The message, "Watch, Therefore... (Part 1: Getting Right with Others)" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 8/29/2026.

Part 1 of the series is about offering and seeking forgiveness, and relational reconciliation as a prerequisite of repentance needed to inherit eternal life. The series will focus on getting right with others, getting right with God, the urgency of repentance, and enduring along the narrow path, in light of the evil days we're living in. Yeshua the Messiah is coming back soon, and so we ought to get ready and Watch, therefore...

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 from now on. 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.

Watch Online

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.

The LORD's Fall Holy Convocations Are Coming!!!

Pastor Manuse and family are offering our forested property and surroundings as a place for our community to meet, worship, celebrate, and set up their tents and camp together during the Feast of Sukkot this year, which will be from 9/26/2026 to 10/3/2026.

Overnight camping on the property will be open to members of First Fruits Ministries, our affiliate churches, or Fellow Fringers only, but other guests will be welcome to join us during any of the days of the feast to help us celebrate the Holy Convocation of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret (The Feast of Tabernacles and the Eighth Day). For those who will be camping with us, set up will be on Erev Sukkot/Erev Shabbat on 9/25/2026 and tear down on 10/4/2026. Setting up and tearing down on other days is acceptable, so long as it isn't done on a Sabbath or Feast Day (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday). For those staying overnight, the Manuse's will open their home for showers, cooking, grilling and whatever else is needed. All food brought on the property must be "Levitically clean" according to God's Word in Leviticus 11 or Deuteronomy 14. All behavior, attire, and interaction on site must be consistent with Yeshua's instruction, the Apostles' Doctrine, and the whole counsel of God's Word. Anyone who would like to visit may come by at any time during daylight hours and stay into the evening as activities persist. An indoor restroom will be available to everyone during waking hours, regardless of overnight accommodation, and overnight for registered guests only.

Because Sukkot is a Feast of the LORD, this will require everyone attending to bring their own food and drink offering to the LORD for their own provision (sharing is certainly welcome). This ought to be done in the Spirit of Deuteronomy 16:13-17, with one exception: For the sake of all of our brethren, alcohol will not be permitted at the feast. True love feast meals will be held on the two Shabbat/Feast Days, and all people/families who attend are encouraged to bring a dish to share that they have prepared before sunset the previous day. During our regular service hours on the two Sabbaths, we will be enjoy worship, prayer, and devotionals, as well as conversational and contemplative reverence toward God within the Sukkah. There will be no formal sermons presented on these two Sabbath Days. The other days will be open for many Yeshua-focused activities and even family fun as the LORD directs our hearts. Please stay-tuned for more details.

All attendees ought to register ahead of time (registration does not guarantee permission to attend).

IMPORTANT: During the festival, for Shabbat services on 9/25 and 10/4, First Fruits Ministries WILL NOT be hosting services at the church in Manchester, and we will NOT livestream our gatherings on site at the Manuse property.

First Fruits Ministries Will Co-Host the 10 Days of Prayer with Calvary Chapel on 9/13/2026 @ 7 PM

ALMOST Every Wednesday Bible Study
Upcoming: Join us on 9/2, 9/9 & 9/23
NO STUDY on 9/16

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.

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.

The Weather is still Warm!
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.

(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.)

Ladies Only Bible Study

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.

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...

Attend Our Monthly Bible Study (Online ONLY)
Next Study: 9/29/2026 @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, 9/29/2026.

We may have a live study this month, since the Bible Study will be held during our Sukkot celebration on the Manuse property (stay tuned for details).

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.

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.

]]> Reborn to Flourish, Part 9: Good Fruit https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/08/22/reborn-to-flourish-part-9-good-fruit Sat, 22 Aug 2026 22:21:23 +0000 https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/08/22/reborn-to-flourish-part-9-good-fruit

The message, "Reborn to Flourish, Part 9: Good Fruit" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 8/22/2026.

"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 9: When we renounce what is false and believe in God’s Word, declaring it as True openly to all with ears to hear, we can produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives that multiplies into the lives of others. God's commandments, understood through the prism of love, demonstrated by Yeshua’s example, lead us to produce good fruit. God's goal is for a bountiful harvest of souls who trust Him on the Last Day, and so He has also sent us out not just to do what is good, righteous, and true for our own good, but also so that we might teach others His commandments—to show other people the reason for the hope that is in us.

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for the LORD to give us the peace and joy of knowing Him intimately and forever walking in His Ways.

First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day on 8/22/2026 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: PARASHAT Ki Tetze — (When You Go Forth): Deuteronomy 21:10–25:19; Isaiah 54:1–10; Matthew 24:29–42. 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 ninth and final message in his series, called "Reborn to Flourish," which will add to our 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 has worked backward through the list, identifying pride as the foundation of a wicked heart focused on the world and the flesh resulting in discord, and humility as the foundation of a heart that can receive God's Holy Spirit and sow the seeds of peace. When we have humble hearts, God can plant His transformational love, revitalize the root, and send forth tender branches and bountiful fruit. In our final message of the series, we're going to discuss the fruits that ought to come forth from a heart of humility that allows God's love to flow through it.

The LORD's Fall Holy Convocations Are Coming!!!

Pastor Manuse and family are offering our forest-surrounded front yard as a place for our community to set up their tents during the Feast of Sukkot this year. Details are still being worked out, but we would like everyone to set up for Erev Sukkot/Erev Shabbat on 9/25/2026 and to tear down on 10/4/2026. The Manuse's will open their home for showers, cooking, grilling and whatever else is needed. This event will NOT be open to the public. It will be invite-only for existing members of our fellowship and affiliate network. As a Feast of the LORD, this will require everyone attending to bring their own offering to the LORD for their provision. We are still contemplating whether Shabbat services (also Sukkot services) will be held at the church or on site at the Manuse property, but we are leaning toward holding services at the Manuse property only for those two Shabbats. Please stay-tuned for more details.

The message, "Reborn to Flourish, Part 8: Love" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 8/15/2026.

"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 8: The premise behind this whole series has been the understanding that "God is love," and because of this God hates whatever it is that separates the people He loves from Him and one another. He desires us to be with Him and one another, not just now, but into eternity. This is the very reason He sent His Son Yeshua to die on our behalf; He humbled Himself so that our sins could be forgiven, and through His act of perfect love He was also lifted up in victory over sin and death. He now calls each of us to join Him, because He is preparing a place for us in His Kingdom. Through Yeshua’s victory, God is calling each of us to surrender to the workings of His love in us, so He can rebuild us by His Holy Spirit into the men and women He has created us to be—lovingly obedient to His commandments that bring the blessings of peace and joy. We become good trees bearing good fruit when we submit to God in His goodness and resist the wicked one and all of his devices. We are reborn to flourish, starting off as tender shoots when we cut off the wickedness of our former lives. We can only do this when we root ourselves in humility. The previous sermon in the series laid the groundwork for today. When we surrender ourselves to God’s will, replacing pride with humility at the root, we make the ground ready for the LORD to do His work in us, which is His love that multiplies.

During our in-house-only segment, we will listen to a summary of this week's Torah Portion called: PARASHAT SHOFTIM — (JUDGES): Deuteronomy 16:18–21:9; Isaiah 51:12–52:12; John 14:9–20. 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 eighth message in his series, called "Reborn to Flourish," which will add to our 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 has worked backward through the list, identifying pride as the foundation of a wicked heart focused on the world and the flesh resulting in discord, and humility as the foundation of a heart that can receive God's Holy Spirit and sow the seeds of peace. When we have humble hearts, God can plant His transformational love, 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 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.

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, 8/18/2026.

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.

Our Special Women's Bible Study A Great Success

For this month's Ladies Only Bible Study, First Fruits women partnered with Women at the Well's Sisterhood of the Traveling Tzit-Tzit Tour to host their stop in New Hampshire, and the evening was a great success!

Our next study will be held on 9/8/2026 at 7 p.m., both on Zoom and in person. The studies are led by First Fruits Worship Leader Aidan Rose Manuse and Pastor Andrew's wife Jen.

The Ladies Only Bible Study 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...

]]> Reborn to Flourish, Part 7: Pride https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/08/08/reborn-to-flourish-part-7-pride Sat, 08 Aug 2026 19:09:18 +0000 https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/08/08/reborn-to-flourish-part-7-pride

The message, "Reborn to Flourish, Part 7: Pride" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 8/8/2026.

"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 7: In the seventh message of the series, we are going to tear out the root of the wicked tree, which is pride, and replace it with the Godly humility that allows the ground to receive the Word of God. Pride is at the root of all wickedness, and everything that stems from it results in discord, separating men and women from one another and from our God. Pride sits in hard ground that cannot receive the Word of God and therefore cannot bring forth life. God hates this, because He does not will any of His children to perish, but for all to come to repentance and dwell with Him and one another for all eternity in His Kingdom. He looks for the humble in spirit who are ready to surrender to His perfect and righteous will. Souls like these offer the Word of God pliable and fertilized ground to grow in. Ultimately the Word planted in such ground grows into the good tree that produces fruits of love, joy and peace, leading to unity with God and His people.

Ladies Only Bible Study Meets the Traveling Tzit-tzit Tour This Month!
Coming Up: 8/11/26 6 PM EDT to 11 PM ETD
(See details about dinner in the image below)

For this month's Ladies Only Bible Study, First Fruits women are partnering with Women at the Well's Sisterhood of the Traveling Tzit-Tzit Tour to host their stop in New Hampshire. The evening will begin at 6 p.m. on 8/11/2026 and it is not uncommon for women to stick around until around 10-11 p.m. This event is a special night as part of our regular Ladies Only Bible Study series, which takes place on the second Tuesday of every month at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH 03104. The study is led by First Fruits Worship Leader Aidan Rose Manuse and Pastor Andrew's wife Jen.

First Fruits Ministries is providing a Levitically clean protein for dinner and drinks, and we are asking participants to bring a side dish to share. The evening will begin with prayer, worship, and a meal, and will end with Bible study and discussion on the "women at the well."

The Ladies Only Bible Study 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 (this month's Zoom may be tenuous, but we're looking at letting you peak in starting at 7 p.m. like usual) or join us in person at 60 Bailey Ave. in Manchester, NH, in the basement meeting room.

]]> Reborn to Flourish, Part 6: Deception https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/08/01/reborn-to-flourish-part-6-deception Sat, 01 Aug 2026 22:15:54 +0000 https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/08/01/reborn-to-flourish-part-6-deception

The message, "Reborn to Flourish, Part 6: Deception" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 8/1/2026.

"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 6: When a person invokes the name of Jesus while speaking lies against His law, he or she is literally “taking the name of the LORD in vain,” a violation of the third commandment of God. Today we’re going to dig into this deeper problem in the tree of wickedness; we’re going to consider the lying tongue. The deception of false prophets leads all who fall victim to the lie away from God and His people into the outer darkness of sin and death. Those who engage is false prophesy willingly create discord specifically by lying about what God said and convincing others to wander off the narrow path. The only escape from this darkness is the light of God’s Truth, which is found in confessing Yeshua’s identity and turning around to live according to God’s Word!

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)
- Access the non-canonical texts we study together
- Join or create study groups to work through reading plans with one another.

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.

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.

]]> Reborn to Flourish, Part 5: Violence https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/07/18/reborn-to-flourish-part-5-violence Sat, 18 Jul 2026 18:33:08 +0000 https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/07/18/reborn-to-flourish-part-5-violence

The message, "Reborn to Flourish, Part 5: Violence" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 7/18/2026.

"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 5: Today we’re going to go deeper toward the root of the bad tree that bears the fruits of discord and discuss some of those wicked things we might do in ignorance on account of deception, as well as their remedy. The lies the enemy speaks—temptations, twisted words, and the like—often lead us toward an initial sin such as anger or resentment, and that sin then multiplies without correction received with humility and repentance. That sin, whatever it may be, causes violence against the peace of God's kingdom. We might be tempted to sin against our brothers, holding them in judgment for their actions against us or against others, but judgment belongs to the LORD, and He will repay. In fact, only God is qualified to judge His people in the hope that we might return to Him. With hearts full of pride, we risk shedding blood and calling ourselves into judgment when we have a posture of superiority toward others. Finally, whenever we allow anger to grow into resentment and ultimately hatred, this can sometimes leads to actual murder. Rather than get caught up in this wicked path toward death, we ought to make peace with all people, not only loving our neighbor as ourselves, but also going out of the way to love our enemies. God desires all men everywhere to return to Him.

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for the LORD to give us His heart to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who spitefully use us, so that we can be sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven in Messiah Yeshua our LORD!

First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day on 7/18/2026 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 Torah Portion called: Devarim (Words): Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22; Isaiah 1:1-27; Matthew 24:1-22. Please study these passages during Erev Shabbat (the evening before the Sabbath day) on our all-new Bread of Life Bible Study platform or on Logos.

During our in-house and online segment, Pastor Andrew J. Manuse will present the fifth 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 violence—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 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.

The message, "Reborn to Flourish, Part 4: Conspiracy" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 7/11/2026.

"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 4: In the fourth and central message of our series, the question we’re going to explore is this: Who is dwelling on the throne of our hearts, which is to say, whose will is controlling the very core of our being? This is a question we ought to evaluate daily, because God will not share His throne with another. He commanded His people, saying: “You shall have no other gods before Me.” And so we need to ask ourselves: Have we submitted our hearts to the will of God, which He has explained to us through His Word and demonstrated for us through Messiah Yeshua. Or on the contrary: Are we following our own will or the will of another?

The message, "Reborn to Flourish, Part 3: Rebellion" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 7/4/2026.

"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 3: There are two ways, the Way of life and the way of death—and it’s not possible for us to traverse both paths at once. We are either on one or the other. We have to be diligent not find ourselves firmly positioned in rebellion—which is what it means to sit in the seat of the scornful—lest we position ourselves to run toward evil at the first opportunity. In a sustained position like this, there is no hope for life. When we know Yeshua, we not only seek Him but also follow Him, and when we know Him well, we don’t just follow Him but also run toward Him—fleeing from all temptation and sin.

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.

]]> Reborn to Flourish, Part 2: Treachery https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/06/27/reborn-to-flourish-part-2-treachery Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:13:53 +0000 https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/06/27/reborn-to-flourish-part-2-treachery

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.

Second Message for the Sabbath

Due to the Baptism scheduled for 6/21 at 11 a.m., First Fruits Ministries will not present a second "rewind" service for Corner Fringe Ministries this week, but you are welcome to watch Corner Fringe's Vacation Bible School presentation, called "Up North," at your leisure: https://www.youtube.com/live/YMKYHHxqZyQ?si=9bHY46pRNw4Dj6oF. Because the second service will not be broadcast this Shabbat, please plan for an extended Oneg to discuss and prepare for the upcoming baptisms and related matters or an early departure.

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.

]]> The Helper, Part 7: The Spirit Unites https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/06/13/the-helper-part-7-the-spirit-unites Sat, 13 Jun 2026 20:01:29 +0000 https://firstfruits.cc/blog/2026/06/13/the-helper-part-7-the-spirit-unites

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.

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.

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.
