  1. When have you looked forward to a new start?

  2. Acts 2 • Acts 2:1-4 (ESV) 1  When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2  And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3  And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

  3. Feasts • Passover • Firstfruits • Pentecost

  4. Passover • Passover was to be a lasting ordinance for generations to come. • It was observed on the 14th day of the first month (religious year) beginning at twilight. • The Passover lamb must be a perfect male with no spot or blemish.

  5. Firstfruits • Firstfruits are offerings given for the spring barley harvest. • The first ripe sheaf (firstfruits) of barley was offered to the Lord as an act of dedicating the harvest to him.

  6. Firstfruits • On this third day (the day of Firstfruits), the priest waved the sheaf before the Lord. • Counting the days (omer) then began and continued until the day after the seventh Sabbath, the 50th day. • This 50th day is called Shavuot or Pentecost.

  7. Pentecost • Pentecost is celebrated 50 days after the Passover Sabbath. • Shavuot means “weeks;” Pentecost means “fifty” in Greek. • This festival is also known as the Feast of Harvest or Latter Firstfruits. • Pentecost is one of the three pilgrimage feasts.

  8. Pentecost • Pentecost is the time to present an offering of grain of the summer wheat harvest to the Lord to show joy and thankfulness. • Two loaves of baked bread with leaven, are presented to God.
