The words First Fruits mean “a promise to come.” On the day of First Fruits, Sunday, April 5, 2026, the Church Family will bring a special offering to the Lord.
This offering will represent the First Fruits of any financial income since the Feast of Tabernacles which was held (in April 2024).
In Leviticus 23:9-14, the first crops of the barley harvest were offered to God (add joy campaign info here) as an offering of thanksgiving for the promise of an abundant harvest.
This offering, lifted up to the Lord, is called the early First Fruits. In I Corinthians 15:23, Jesus is considered the First Fruit of the harvest of all who have died in Him.
This Feast was fulfilled when Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. For Christians, this Feast is important because it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
