Shabbat shalom, Nazarene Israelites.

1. PRAISE REPORTS, PRAYER REQUESTS, UPDATES: 26 July 5784 (2024)

a. Was King Shaul obedient? (What should we learn?)

King Shaul claimed that he had obeyed the voice of Yahweh. We see that Yahweh did not agree, and that, regardless of what King Shaul claimed, he did not obey Yahweh. Join us for this week’s Parasha Tetzaveh as we examine the important lesson that both houses (Judah and Joseph/Ephraim) need to learn from King Shaul’s dis-obedience.

Shemuel Aleph (Firsth Samuel) 15:
11a  “I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.”
19 Why then did you [King Shaul] not obey the voice of Yahweh? Why did you swoop down on the spoil, and do evil in the sight of Yahweh?”

3. SABBATHS, NEW MOONS, AND CALENDAR EVENTS:

a. New Moon 6th Hebrew month: 5 August 2024 (expected)

The new moon of the sixth Hebrew month is expected to be visible from Israel on 5 August 2024. Confirmation will be made upon the sighting of the new moon (or the 30-day default count) as the new month approaches.

Note: 11 March 2024 was the confirmed declaration of Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the Hebrew year). For more details, please visit Torah Calendar News 2024.

b. Upcoming Discipleship Meetings: 

All meetings are at 8 AM Colombian time (always UTC-5, but watch your Daylight Savings Time adjustments). The Discipleship Meeting is a discussion between disciples. It is generally 1-hour long but may run longer depending on how the Spirit leads. For more on NI’s description of discipleship, please see NI’s Discipleship program.

6 August 2024- New moon meeting (expected)

Note: If the monthly Discipleship Meeting coincides with the weekly Shabbat Meeting, the Shabbat Meeting will take precedence, and new moon discussion will be combined with the Shabbat meeting. However, in the case of a Feast Day Meeting coinciding with a Shabbat meeting, the Feast Day Meeting will take precedence.

Rosh HaShanah and the first month feast dates are confirmed. Seventh month feast dates are “expected dates“.
These dates may change by a day or two, depending on when the new moon day of the 7th month (September 2024) is confirmed. 

d. Why the FirstFruits Torah Calendar?

Every year we receive questions about the Firstfruits Torah calendar and why it differs from Karaite, Jewish, and Messianic, and Equinox calendars. The different calendars that exist can (and do) cause a lot of confusion. But if we follow Scripture without adding or taking away from Yahweh’s word, we see that there are significant errors in the Karaite, Jewish, Messianic, and Equinox calendars.

We explain these errors in the following studies, as well as why it is important to follow the true Firstfruits Torah calendar in order to observe Yahweh’s feasts at His appointed times only.
