'Give No Place to the Devil!'

First Fruits Ministries presents “Give No Place to the Devil!,” a Bible study presentation delivered on 10/31/2023 as a rebuke of the pagan festival called 'halloween' and a call on all Christians to reject this dark celebration and stand instead in the light of Messiah Yeshua. We ought to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them, for the people of God are destroyed for lack of knowledge. As such, the study details various historical perspectives on the day and explains Biblically why followers of Messiah Yeshua cannot keep it.
