Jekyll: Looping with expired Dates - jekyll

Question

So I'm trying to show the latest 5 upcoming events. I'm pulling everything form a data file. But I noticed that when an event expires and remains in the data file, that the homepage is showing 5 minus the amount of expired events.
For example, if there was 1 event that was expired the homepage would only show 4 of the upcoming events, instead of skipping the expired event and looping. Can anyone help? Thanks!
{% assign eventPost = site.data.events | sort: 'date' %}
{% for event in eventPost limit:5 %}
{% assign curDate = site.time | date: '%Y-%m-%d' %}
{% assign postStartDate = event.date | date: '%Y-%m-%d' %}
{% if postStartDate >= curDate %}
<div class="content--block">
<div class="event--info">
<p class="content--date">{{ event.date | date: '%B %-d, %Y' }}</p>
<h3 class="content--title">{{ event.title }}</h3>
{% if event.time %}
<p class="content--location"><strong>{{ event.location }}</strong> at <strong>{{ event.time }}</strong></p>
{% else %}
<p class="content--location"><strong>{{ event.location }}</strong></p>
{% endif %}
{% if event.subheader %}
<p class="content--description">{{ event.subheader }}</p>
{% endif %}
</div>
{% if event.button == true %}
<button class="outline">Attend</button>
{% endif %}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{% for event in eventPost limit:5 %} instructs liquid to create a temporary array with 5 first eventPost elements. Your loop is definitely looping over 5 elements and no more.
Use a counter instead. Note, I've sniped code in the print loop for brevity.
{% assign eventPost = site.data.events | sort: 'date' %}
{% assign eventsNumber = 5 %}
{% assign printedEvents = 0 %}
{% for event in eventPost %}
{% assign curDate = site.time | date: '%Y-%m-%d' %}
{% assign postStartDate = event.date | date: '%Y-%m-%d' %}
{% if (postStartDate >= curDate) and (printedEvents < eventsNumber) %}
{% assign printedEvents = printedEvents | plus: 1 %}
<p>{{ event.date | date: '%B %-d, %Y' }} - {{ event.title }}</p>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
You then just have to change the eventsNumber to change number of printed events.
