Numbers 28:11-15 New Moon

 11At the beginning of every month, you are to present to the LORD a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished, 12along with three-tenths of an ephah of fine floure mixed with oil as a grain offering with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering with the ram, 13and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering with each lamb. This is a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

14Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine with each bull, a third of a hing with the ram, and a quarter hin with each lamb. This is the monthly burnt offering to be made at each new moon throughout the year.

15In addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering, one male goat is to be presented to the LORD as a sin offering.

“Later in Israel’s history, the New Moon festivals may have become opportunities for excess, for licentious behavior. In the Prophets there are times when God says to his erring people, ‘I hate your New Moons’ (cf. Isaiah 1:14).” (Allen)

1 Samuel 20: 5So David told him, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon, and I am supposed to dine with the king. Instead, let me go and hide in the field until the third evening from now.

Isaiah 1: 14I hate your New Moons

and your appointed feasts.

They have become a burden to Me;

I am weary of bearing them.

“We can come to the same place today, where God is tired of us going to church.” (Guzik)

I believe church is a matter of the heart ❤️ and if your heart ♥️ isn’t in it and we are just going through the motions, how do you think HE feels about it? Would HE love it or hate it?
