The Feast of Unleavened Bread with Pastor Israel Pochtar

[vc_row el_id=”newsletter”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

…for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. For seven days present a food offering to the Lord. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’

Leviticus 23:6-8

Yeshua is the fulfillment of every biblical feast God commanded us to celebrate. He gave them to us as a foreshadow of His Son, who came to fulfill them all, as part of Him fulfilling the whole Law.

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.

Luke 22:7-8

Yeshua didn’t only show us how He himself celebrated God’s appointed feast, but He also showed how He fulfilled it by becoming our redeeming Passover lamb, as well as our Unleavened bread.

Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.

1 Corinthians 5:7

Our Unleavened bread is Yeshua, according to John 6:35

I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

God’s command to celebrate the feast of unleavened bread still stands in the light of the New Testament, and it is important we don’t neglect that part.

Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

1 Corinthians 5:8

As the nation of Israel prepared for the Feast of Unleavened Bread by cleaning their homes from any trace of yeast, we as believers have been cleansed by the blood of Yeshua.

By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Hebrew 10:10

When the Shofar Sounds:
Remember the God Who Still Speaks

As we prepare here in Israel to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets, I have been thinking about a sound that has echoed through the story of our people for thousands of years: the sound of the shofar. In Hebrew, this biblical feast is called Yom Teruah—the Day of the Shofar Blast, or the Day of Trumpet […]

All Things Are Possible

Sometimes we face situations where we simply do not see a way forward. We have prayed, we have waited, and maybe we have done everything we know to do, but nothing seems to change. After some time, we can begin to think, “Maybe this is impossible.” The Bible is full of people who found themselves […]

Strengthening a New Generation of Believers in Israel

“Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to Him those He wanted, and they came to Him.” Mark 3:13 There are seasons when the voice of God can become difficult to hear beneath the noise of everyday life. Responsibilities, decisions, relationships, work, questions about the future—especially for young adults, life can pull the heart […]

When a Heart Begins to Open

Sometimes the most important thing happening in a room is something no one can see. A woman may sit quietly, listen without saying much, and give little indication that anything has changed. Yet a seed has been planted. The Word of God has reached somewhere beneath the surface. And sometimes it is only later that […]

“But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.” Matthew 9:36 When Yeshua looked at a multitude, He never saw a number. He saw faces. He saw stories. He saw lives unfolding before Him—people carrying pain, questions, disappointments, fears, and […]

A Message from Joppa, Israel

There are seasons when life feels settled. Perhaps you have prayed for something, watched God answer, and finally reached a place where you can breathe again. There is nothing wrong with being grateful for that place. But today, standing in Joppa—the biblical city known today as Jaffa, on Israel’s Mediterranean coast—I am reminded of something powerful: sometimes […]
