“Jesus in the Book of Leviticus: The Feasts Part 3”
Wednesday Night Bible Study 08/27/2025- Pastor Tyler Bessa

“The law reveals sin that condemns us, but the Spirit reveals the Savior who saves us.” Pastor Tyler Bessa
Sermon Summary: Jesus in the Book of Leviticus: The Feasts Part 3
This sermon explores the biblical feast of Shavuot (Weeks), also known as Pentecost, and its prophetic fulfillment in Acts 2 with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. Far from just a “speaking in tongues” event, Pentecost is presented as the culmination of God’s redemptive timeline, linking the Passover Lamb (Christ) with the Spirit-empowered Church as His firstfruits.
The message highlights how Pentecost is not only a moment of empowerment, but a call to unity, consecration, and full devotion to Christ. It challenges believers to understand their role as set-apart firstfruits, grounded in the foundation of Christ—not merely in gifts or emotional experience. We are called to walk in the wisdom of the Spirit, not just knowledge.
✝️ Key Themes in the Message
Shavuot as Prophetic Fulfillment: From Sinai (Law) to Pentecost (Spirit), revealing Christ throughout Scripture.
Foundation in Passover: Pentecost is rooted in the redemption of Christ—50 days after the Lamb was slain.
Giving of the Law vs. Giving of the Spirit: 3,000 died at Sinai; 3,000 were saved at Pentecost (Exodus 32 / Acts 2).
Firstfruits of the Spirit: The Church is the “second” firstfruits offering—dedicated wholly to God.
Balance Between Word & Spirit: True Pentecost is rooted in both Spirit and Truth.
