Feast of Tabernacles Events for Believers in Messiah - 2021

Here is a list of celebrations for the Feast of Tabernacles happening this year in 2021! Celebrating the Biblical holidays with others is truly a special opportunity and if you're looking for an event near you hopefully you can find one here. Sukkot is an eight day celebration, and many of these last for the duration. Even if you have to travel or can only make a a day or two I would encourage you to do what you can to worship the Creator with others during this special time.

Please note: I am not familiar with each ministry or all the people responsible for these Tabernacle events. People celebrate the Biblical holidays in a variety of ways, so reach out and contact the organizers ahead of time if you have specific questions about what that will look like. I simply want to give people the option of connecting with others through this list.

Noisemaker Craft for the Feast of Trumpets

This is an easy craft to make for Yom Teruah! Since this Biblical holiday is also known as the Feast of Trumpets and Day of Sounding and there's much emphasis on worshipping YHWH with a joyful noise, why not make some noisemakers for kids to have fun with?

What you'll need:

Paper plates
Dry beans or something similar
Stapler
Happy Yom Teruah and Make a joyful noise printables - totally optional, you can always just let kids decorate
Markers
Glue
Any other decorations you might want

Step 1: Take two paper plates and add a handful of dry beans to one. You could also use something like pop tabs or wooden beads, whatever you have on hand should work just fine.

Step 2: Place the second paper plate on top of the first, so that the bottom sides are both facing out. Staple around the entire thing.

Step 3: decorate! If you're using the printables, you can cut those out and glue or tape them to your noisemaker. Color them in if you wish. Otherwise you can write your own verse or saying, color, add glitter, and attach streamers to your heart's content.

There you have it. This is not a complicated craft at all! But be warned these are plenty loud. Toss in a handful of cotton balls with the dry beans to mitigate the noise a bit if you'd like. Otherwise have kids play outside with these or just welcome the noise!

Have a very blessed Feast of Trumpets!

What the Bible Means When It Talks About Clean Eating

What does it mean when the Bible talks about clean eating?

Scripture forbids us from eating certain animals. In order to eat Biblically clean we need to avoid those animals.

This is why Daniel refused to eat meat in Babylon, why the Messiah fed people clean foods like fish and bread, and why Peter never ate anything unclean.

We are to eat this way, not because we have to earn salvation, but out of a desire to honor the Creator with the choices that we make.

If you eat or drink you are called to do so in a way that glorifies the Living God.

5 Reasons Believers Should Keep the Bible's Dietary Commandments

Are the Biblical instructions about food and eating for today?

Five reasons believers should keep the Bible's dietary commandments:

1. Scripture tells us to. The Bible devotes a fair amount of time to the food instructions, and I don't think that's for nothing. The Living God's word is not wasted. Like any loving parent he expects his children to listen to him when he is talking and to do what he says. The fact that Scripture mentions this and mentions it repeatedly tells us that we need to take note of it.

2. The Messiah expressly told us he did not come to change the commandments. While many believers would make a case that the Messiah did away with the dietary commandments or "made all foods clean," Yahusha went out of his way to say that he was not changing or doing away with Scripture's instructions (Matthew 5:17). That is a significant statement and something we need to seriously contemplate before we set aside any of the commandments, including those about what we eat.

3. New Testament believers kept them. Even in the New Testament, and even after the Messiah ascended into heaven we see that believers stuck to the Bible's parameters for clean eating. The Messiah served only clean foods such as bread, fish, and wine; Peter mentioned that he had never eaten anything unclean; the disciples were reprimanded by the Pharisees not for what they were eating, but for eating without washing their hands; Paul said that our eating should be done in a way that glorifies the Creator. There is simply no Biblical precedent for disregarding the dietary instructions of Scripture.

4. It is a tangible step of faith for others to see. Personally my faith changed a lot when I finally got tired of telling people that I was a believer and then explaining away why my life didn't reflect the teachings of the Bible. Maybe it doesn't seem like what we eat should be a big deal, but let me tell you for those outside of the faith it is confusing why most believers follow so little of Scripture. Live out of Scripture so that people can see you're not just cherry-picking the Bible to suit your own purposes. Showing that you are convicted enough to inconvenience yourself is powerful, and a testimony about the work of YHWH in your life.

5. We are blessed by doing so. Who couldn't use a little more of the Living God's blessings on their life? Scripture says that choosing to be obedient to the word brings good things to us and is a source of life. I know many people who would share with you that Biblically clean eating has caused their faith and their relationship with YHWH to grow. Many would also tell you that it has improved their health. What a gift from our Creator that he bestows so many good things on us when we follow his instructions.
