"I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God..."
First Fruits Ministries meets every Sabbath Day (Saturday) at 60 Bailey Ave. in Manchester, N.H., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Our local, live services begin around 10:15 a.m. and ends around 12:15 p.m. EST. We have additional activities and programming that follow. If you cannot join us in person for any reason, please look for the spontaneous livestream link that will generate around 10:30-10:35 a.m. each Sabbath Day on YouTube. We feel it is very important to provide this service to you so those who want to join us but can't come in person can do so, but if you are local to our church, we strongly encourage you to come in and join in the fellowship with other believers, as the Lord commanded us to do. The Sabbath is a Holy Convocation, which means that we ought to come together with other believers to worship on this day. See also Hebrews 10:19-25.

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. The series explains why we exist and what it means to be a first century Judeo-Christian Messianic congregation returning to the Jewish roots of the faith in Messiah Yeshua through the Hebraic understanding of the Scriptures. All men and women who are considering becoming a part of the First Fruits Ministries community should watch this series in full. The series is avialable in full on YouTube and on Odysee.

"Why Christians Should Keep the Law" is a Bible study series by Pastor Daniel Joseph of Corner Fringe Ministries intended to answer all the many surrounding the main one: "Should Christians keep the law?" The series comprises 10-minute shorts—like puzzle pieces interlocking to form one big picture. The title of the series, "Why Christians Should Keep the Law," clearly positions the answer to the question in the positive: "Yes, Christians should keep the law." Want to know why? You'll have to watch them all. Have a particular question? Pastor Daniel has probably answered it.

Controversial First Fruits Ministries Teachings
Remarkably, the pandemic of 2020-2021 divided people so universally that even Christians found themselves on opposite sides of the core issues that arose during this time. In Matthew 10:34, Yeshua said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." Yeshua was referring to the dividing sword—"the sword of the Holy Spirit, which is the Word of God"—and this sword would separate those who believe in Him and obey God's commandments from those who don't. Scripture is clear about what God desires from His people, and First Fruits Ministries strove to take the side of Scripture on this question no matter how unpopular the position. Unfortunately, many media companies chose to censor opinions that did not agree with the mainline position, and our Bible study on this topic was removed from YouTube on account of this. We have preserved our Bible study on this topic and you can still view it today. While we are using many media services today to reach everyone God wants us to reach with the Truth of His Word, we invite you to visit our entire, uncensored Media Library on Odysee and consider their respect for freedom of speech and religious expression when choosing your media provider.
