First Day of Unleavened Bread 2024: English and Spanish

Unleavened Bread (Public Domain Pictures)

COGwriter

The Passover is a memorial of the death of Jesus Christ who is the Savior of the world. In 2024, it was to be observed after sunset on April 21st. The Days of Unleavened Bread began at sunset April 22nd and runs until sunset April 29th, in 2024.

The Continuing Church of God put together this sermon from its ContinuingCOG channel:

1:14:52
The Old Testament gives instructions related to the Days of Unleavened Bread–but without a lot of details as to the meaning. Do these days have any meaning or purpose for Christians? Does the Bible teach that there is a cause for each affect? What is leaven anyway? Does leaven symbolically picture sin? What is sin? Do Christians sin? Why is sin so bad? What about sin versus righteousness? What’s so bad about sin? Can sin affect your position as well as happiness throughout eternity? Do some seem to be hardened to sin? Are Christians, including Laodicean ones, ever puffed up? Why did God create anything? How can sin impact your character and eternity? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.

Here is a link to the sermon: Faithful Christians Keep the Days of Unleavened Bread.

Here is a suggested holy day service for the First Day of Unleavened Bread for our scattered brethren and other interested people:

Note: If you have a slow internet connection, you can watch these by starting the video, then below it (and towards the right) look for an outline of a gear–if you click on that, it will allow the YouTube video to be played with lower video quality, but at least it will not stop often–you can select a quality as low as 144p. If your internet connection is still too slow and/or you prefer audio messages to audio-visuals ones, go to the YouTube link for the message, click on SHOW MORE related to the description. You will then see something that says, “Download MP3.” Below that is a link to an MP3 file. Most computers (and even some cellular telephones) will allow MP3 files to be downloaded and played. This is an option we have made available (but we are also looking into ways to improve that as well)–and, of course, we have written article options. Some people have found that if their internet connections are not fast enough, that they can simply listen to the messages that are found at the Bible News Prophecy online radio channel.
