Celebrating the Jewish Feasts of the Lord in Smelterville Idaho at Silver Valley Worship Center

We follow the example of Jesus who kept the feasts

Faith in Jesus should not contradict the faith of Jesus Joseph, Mary, the disciples, and Paul kept the feasts. God sees you either as Israel or grafted into Israel (Rom. 11:17) Whether your believe His commands in Leviticus 23 are for Jews alone or for all believers, He certainly thinks these feasts are a good idea as evidenced by His command (repeated six times) that they are to be “a statue forever throughout your generations”

(Leviticus 23:14, 21, 31, 41; Exodus 12:14, 17)

Spring Feasts

Just as the Angel of Death passed over those under the lamb’s blood, spiritual death will pass over you if you place yourself under Jesus’s blood. Not only does his blood cover our sin, it also enables us to enter into service, friendship, inheritance, and betrothal covenants.

This feast is a celebration of the giving of the Holy Spirit and God's promise to bring us into a land flowing with milk and honey.

This feast, also known as the Feast of Trumpets, is a time to evaluate your relationship with God and others and to make them right through repentance and restitution. We celebrate with the blowing of the shofar and a feast with fish.

People gathered at a large indoor event, sitting at blue-covered tables, enjoying food and drinks in a wooden building with open windows.
Indoor garden with three small blue fishponds surrounded by potted plants and flowers, on a surface of artificial grass and rocks, with wooden walls and windows in the background.

This celebration, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a time to remember how God dwelt with his people in the tabernacle, and how His Holy Spirit can now dwell within us. Historical tradition would be to rejoice before the Lord with choice fruit, palm fronds, leafy branches, and willows as they resided in booths for 7 days.
