Here's today's Sabbath sermon, called "Decent and Orderly," which largely focuses on the powerful relationship that Yeshua has built with all people who love Him and do His will: https://firstfruits.cc/blog/20....24/06/08/decent-and-

This is the essence of the 5th Gospel.
We know who Matthew says Yahshua is…
We know who Mark says Yahshua is…
We know who Luke says Yahshua is…
We know who John says Yahshua is…
…So Who do you say Yahshua is?
If what we say is not what they said, then we have a very big problem.
…And so does everyone else around us who have not yet read what Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John said about Yahshua…because they can only learn Who He is from us.
If you consider yourself a Christian then this question is for you…
And this book is also highly recommended by us. “The Invitation: The Not-So-Simple Truth About Following ‘Jesus’” by Greg Sidders.
No it’s not all-the-way-right, but it will give you much to think about, and it’s a great start.
What a concept to ponder too… you may not yet know that the Greco-Roman term “Christ” isn’t an appropriate appellative of our Savior but you do know you are supposed to be following Him.
Have you considered what that means? To follow Him requires that you let Him lead you. To follow Him means you need to imitate His actions. To follow Him means you must learn how He thinks, understand what He does, and practice how He did these things.
Do you? Do you follow Him? Or do you follow what your modern American church denomination says and does and teaches you to imitate?
Do you follow the one you’ve been calling “Christ”, seeking to mimic His mannerisms and methods as mentioned in the pages and passages of the stories His students wrote about? Or are you doing what your theologians and theosophists dictate from what the late British empire instilled in us, which tradition they twisted out of the Greco-Roman world before?
If you truly want to follow faithfully in the footsteps of the Savior, then you must take the time to study His Ways and actions and learn to replicate these in your daily life.

I had to do an update on this. The counting of the omer begins on the Sabbath during the week of Passover. The counter on my site was not correct because it began the day after the high day. But it's actually supposed to begin after the weekly Sabbath during the time of Passover. I should have known better and I apologize for any misinformation I have shared.
