The 7 Feasts – Session 1: God’s Appointed Times
Key Verse: “These are the feasts of the Lord…my feasts” (Leviticus 23)
Main Points
- God has a plan – nothing is random. Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world.
- The Feasts of the Lord are God’s calendar:
- Spring Feasts (fulfilled by Christ’s first coming):
- Passover – Jesus, the spotless Lamb, sacrificed.
- Unleavened Bread – His burial, sinless and pure.
- Firstfruits – His resurrection, the first of eternal life.
- Pentecost – Spirit poured out, 3,000 saved.
- Fall Feasts (awaiting fulfillment):
- Trumpets – points to resurrection/rapture.
- Day of Atonement – Israel’s redemption.
- Tabernacles – Christ dwelling with His people.
Takeaways
- Sin is choosing our way over God’s way. The Feasts remind us of His authority.
- Legacy: Pass down faith, not just possessions.
- Hope: Like children at the window, we eagerly await Christ’s return.
- Jesus fulfilled the first 4 feasts exactly—He will fulfill the last 3 in the same way.
Application: Live ready. Hand down faith. Long for His coming.
“Come quickly, Lord Jesus.”
