MESSIANIC
SPRING HOLIDAY HELPER
The Spring holiday season is a very busy time for those in today’s
Messianic movement, beginning with
Purim,
continuing to the week of Passover and
Unleavened Bread, and then culminating with
Shavuot or Pentecost. This broad season is
one of the most demanding for Messianic
Believers, not only as it concerns the many
things to celebrate and reflect upon, but also
as we strive to exhibit a positive testimony to
both the Jewish and Christian communities: to
Jewish people remembering the Passover and
deliverance of Ancient Israel from Egypt, and to
Christians memorializing the death and
resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus
Christ).
The Messianic Spring Holiday Helper is a valuable
compilation of resources designed to assist you,
your family, and your Messianic fellowship for
this season. We have included a wide selection
of articles discussing the different salvation
historical themes from the Spring season. The
significance of Purim is addressed. The
role that the Passover and the Exodus play, and
how they relate to our redemption in the
Messiah, is described. We go into great detail
discussing the Last Supper, and the death and
resurrection of the Messiah. We consider what it
means to observe Shavuot as a time for
both the giving of the Torah (Law) and the Holy
Spirit. We offer a fair-minded and loving way to
communicate to those who observe an Easter
holiday often separated from anything in the
Tanach or Old Testament. A selection of FAQs on
the Spring holidays has been provided, as are
some delicious recipes, and an educational
Passover haggadah you can use for your
home or congregation.
Let the Messianic Spring Holiday Helper
be a resource of great blessing to you during
this sacred season!
MESSIANIC
WINTER HOLIDAY HELPER
The Winter holiday season is frequently a
conflicted time of year for many people in
today’s Messianic movement. On the one hand,
most Messianic Believers do not celebrate the
holiday of Christmas on December 25, due to some
of its pre-Christian origins and questionable
traditions. On the other hand, the birth of
Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) is a Biblical
event which we all must acknowledge in some way.
Furthermore, during this same Winter season, the
Jewish community commemorates the Festival of
Dedication or Chanukah. What is a
Messianic Believer to do?
The Messianic Winter Holiday Helper
is a valuable compilation of resources designed
to assist you, your family, and your Messianic
fellowship for this season. We have included a
selection of articles summarizing the holiday of
Christmas, and how Messianic Believers need to
have a proper attitude toward our Christian
brothers and sisters. We have included a variety
of teachings on Chanukah, common
traditions associated with it, and how this can
be a blessed time of spiritually rededicating
ourselves to God and to each other. Information
on the time period of the Maccabees in Second
Century B.C.E. Judea, the wars that they fought,
and the long term impact they left on subsequent
generations, has been provided. A few FAQs on
the Winter holidays are offered, as are some
delicious recipes, and liturgy you can recite
for your Chanukah celebration.
Do
not let the Winter holiday season be a difficult
time for you any more. The Messianic Winter
Holiday Helper can assist you greatly in
making this a very special time for you and your
family!
MESSIANIC
FALL HOLIDAY HELPER
The Fall holiday season of Yom Teruah/Rosh HaShanah,
Yom
Kippur, and Sukkot—also including
Shemini Atzeret and
Simchat Torah—is
a very special, sacred time of year for God’s
people. It is considered to be the most holy
time of year in Judaism. As such, this season
can teach us all important things about the
great value of corporate repentance of sin, and
an annual inspection of our individual spiritual
maturity. We can learn lessons about the Lord’s
ongoing plan of salvation history, especially
the Second Coming of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus
Christ) and the future establishment of His
Millennial Kingdom!
The Messianic Fall Holiday Helper is a valuable
compilation of resources designed to assist you,
your family, and your Messianic fellowship for
this season. We have included a selection of
articles summarizing the role of mainline Jewish
tradition, and reflective articles that focus on
day-to-day observances of the Ten Days of Awe
and the eight days of Tabernacles. Messages from
customary books of the Tanach (Old Testament)
like Deuteronomy and Ecclesiastes, which are
often studied and discussed during the Fall high
holidays, have been offered. A few FAQs on the
Fall high holidays have also been provided.
Finally, some significant liturgy derived from
Conservative Jewish sources—including a template
for both a Rosh HaShanah and
Yom
Kippur morning service—is available.
If you have ever wondered what role the Fall high holidays should
play in the life of a Believer, then the
Messianic Fall Holiday Helper is definitely
something for you. You will be blessed by what
you can learn during these convocations!
COUNTING
THE OMER:
A DAILY DEVOTIONAL TOWARD SHAVUOT
The seven-week period between the Biblical
festivals of Passover and Shavuot, or
Pentecost, is the season of Counting the Omer
(Leviticus 23:10-16; Deuteronomy 16:9-11).
Originally in the Tabernacle and Temple of
Ancient Israel, the priests were to present
special offerings before the Lord each day for
the fifty-day count. Psalm 67 was among the
hymns recited and employed to offer praise and
adoration to Him. Since the destruction of the
Second Temple, various Jewish traditions have
been developed in order to make the seven-week
or fifty-day Omer Count a very special time to
focus on God, His blessings, and the important
themes of Shavuot.
Today’s Messianic Believers can surely benefit
from any discipline where God’s people can
review various Scripture passages for a set
time, and allow themselves to be prepared for
great things when the Feast of Weeks is finally
observed. The awesome wisdom and goodness of our
Heavenly Father are things definitely worthy of
exploration and contemplation, via a reflection
upon the themes of various Psalms, and how they
relate to our understanding of
Shavuot
and our faith in Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus
Christ).
Counting the Omer: A Daily
Devotional Toward Shavuot
is a compilation of insightful, encouraging
messages that examines a passage from Psalms
every day for the fifty-day Omer Count season.
Each exhortation is intended to prepare you for
the commemoration of
Shavuot (Pentecost)
at the end of seven weeks. Gleaned from the
studies and notes of William Mark Huey, it is
the author’s intent that God’s people can not
only be energized to Count the Omer
themselves--but be specially prepared to
experience His presence when the Feast of Weeks
finally arrives!
