One in Messiah Messianic Congregation is having our Passover Seder on April 3, 2026 @ 6pm. If you would like to come, go to our website at www.oimmc.org and register and pay. No reservations after March 31, 2026.
What is Passover and why do we celebrate it? Pesach is the Hebrew word for Passover and it commemorates the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt. They had been held in slavery for 400 years. We are told in Exodus 12, that we were to keep the feasts of the LORD forever and Passover is first of the seven feasts. We are instructed to keep them throughout all our generations, as a statute forever.
Pesach/Passover is the first of God's appointed festivals. The matzah is the unleavened bread and leavening is a symbol of sin. In the Scriptures, Yeshua went to the temple before the Passover Feast and cleansed it from the "leaven"- the corruption.. of the money changers ...who were doing business inside the temple. (read John 2:13-16)
It was through the blood of the lamb, which was placed on the doorposts of the homes in Egypt, that the Israelites were saved from the last of the ten plagues—the death of the firstborn.
A central lesson of the Passover lamb is that its shed blood caused the death angel to “pass over” those who applied it to their homes in Egypt.
Yeshua is our Passover Lamb and he cleanses us from sin.
We commemorate the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua our Messiah, who is our Passover Lamb! Yeshua's blood delivers us from slavery to sin.
The Passover is the illustration of God's redemptive plan for all of mankind. Yeshua gave Himself up, as a Lamb to the slaughter, so we could have freedom from sin and death.
(read Isaiah 53:6-7)
May God's blessings be on you as you celebrate this Passover and I hope and pray you will have a glorious night celebrating God's gift, our Passover Lamb, Yeshua!

You've got to read this...It's an awesome teaching!

The first time that a shofar appears in the Bible, it isn’t blown. It isn’t even mentioned by name. It’s just described:

And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. (Genesis 22:13)

The ram’s horn, which makes the most otherworldly sound when we blow it, plays a significant part in the account of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac. God tests Abraham when He asks the founding father of our faith to bind and sacrifice his son, and the story is full of parallels with God’s own heart wrenching sacrifice of His own Son: the Lamb that would be slain instead of us. It’s in this story, which features the first mention of the word love, that the shofar first appears, and horns become a symbol of strength and salvation from that moment on. Its significance ripples out like a stone thrown into a lake.

The blast of the shofar calls to the deep, cutting through to the soul. It stirs our spirit and invites us with insistence, “Pay attention!” It’s essentially a musical instrument (of sorts) fashioned by God Himself, and as such the sound calls to us from heaven when we hear it. However not only does the shofar itself hold spiritual significance, but the act of blowing the shofar is also worth meditating on.

Blow a trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near. (Joel 2:1)

The blowing of the shofar is used not only to warn of danger, but also as an actual weapon of war, when we think of Joshua circling Jericho and blowing the shofar, or Gideon and his 300 merry men, who whipped out their torches in clay pots and blew their shofars, striking such terror into their enemies that they ran away without a fight. And blowing the shofar can also be used as a declaration of victory when the battle is won.

We are in the holidays of the Fall Feasts - Yom Teruah - Day of Trumpets (blowing) and is the first of the 3 High Holy Days, as specified by Leviticus 23:23–25. These festivals occur in the late summer/early autumn. Yom Teruah involves blowing of the shofar (ram's horn) and marks the beginning of the fall feasts. This is the beginning of the 10 days of repentance where we seek God's forgiveness and also to make things right with others. The next fall feast is Yom Kippur/ the Day of Atonement. where we repent of our sins and make things right with the LORD. The final Fall Feast is Sukkot/ Tabernacles and is a seven day festival recalling Israel's forty year journeying in the desert. The Jews built temporary booths/dwellings called sukkahs and dwelt them during their time in the desert. These feast days represent events that Yeshua/Jesus will fulfill in the near future. We celebrate these holy days - Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashanah represents events connected with the second coming of Messiah Yeshua/Jesus. Yom Kippur is marked by his people recognizing Yeshua as the Messiah and repenting and turning away from sin and pride. Sukkot shows the future dwelling with his people in the millennial kingdom in heaven. These days are here now and we welcome you to come and enjoy the rich teachings of the Word of God.

According to foreign reports, Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei is anticipated to announce a declaration of war against Israel within minutes, with dramatic and large scale missle fire as soon as his speech begins.

We lean upon the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Our trust is in Him alone. May his strength be with our soldiers and Airforce! Stand with us in prayer so the world will see God’s salvation and power!

Passover is one of the most important holidays on the Jewish calendar. Not only does it serve as a reminder of God’s faithfulness, but it points to the Lamb of God, Yeshua the Messiah, who served as the once-for-all sacrifice for our sins. This is why God commanded the Jewish people to observe the Feast of Passover from generation to generation.
