I don't know about you .. but our Feasting on the Feasts has given me a greater appreciation and appetite for the Word of God!

It was no coincidence that Jesus arose on Firstfruits.
The fourth feast was Pentecost. Pentecost took place 50 days after the feast of firstfruits. And we've seen that Pentecost pointed the coming of the Spirit of God. That event ...
