Hanukkah: The Festival of Light

Light has always been and will always be. It is the very source of life and meaning. It overcomes the darkness that seeks to keep us from its life-giving rays. It is the hope of humanity. It has entered our world, lived among us, and transformed those who have embraced it. The Festival of Light is the celebration of the revelation and illumination of the Light of the World. It is this very Festival that Jesus finally reveals who He is to the astonishment of all who were there. Join us as we explore the meaning and power of the Festival of Light.

Hanukkah has been overlooked by the traditional Church for nearly 2000 years! This is due to the early gentile Church separating herself from Israel and her Scriptures and claiming that she has replaced her as the people of God. She then created new traditions and holy days to ensure that nobody would confuse her with being part of Israel. This resulted in Gentile Christians being deeply confused about their identity and mission in this world. Hanukkah is the pathway back to the roots of our faith and the people we are grafted into. Our identity is rooted in the ancient people and nation of God! Join us in part two of this series as we look at the celebration of Hanukkah through the lens of the Prophets as well as Jesus Himself.

We have a mission! A peaceful, compassionate, healing, restorative mission. That mission is to call our nation back to the Living God and the glory of His Son, Jesus! This is our mandate from Heaven. Our Christian ancestors came here “for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith…”(Mayflower Compact 1620). We are far from finished in this mission. The recent assassination and martyrdom of Charlie Kirk has shaken us and awakened us to our mission from Heaven to disciple our nation for Christ. Join us as we set our hearts to fulfill this great mission!

There is a liberating power that is unleashed when we realize what we deserve as sinners and yet receive what only God’s grace could give: love, acceptance, favor, and blessing! Out of this encounter with God comes thankfulness. Henry Van Dyke put it this way, “Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.” Join us in this series on the Art of Giving Thanks.

The original mandate that God gave to us was the institution that we call marriage. The biblical institution of marriage is under a curse and it has been that way since the crisis of sin in the Garden. Only in Messiah can we reverse the curse. Many believers have not understood how to do this and as a result they continue unnecessarily to experience painful setbacks in their marriages. Join us in discovering keys to reversing this curse and turning marriage into a realm of blessing.

The original mandate that God gave to us was the institution that we call marriage. It comes before the mandate of civil government. It comes before the mandate of the gospel and birthing faith communities. Without marriage everything in Eden would have spiraled out of control and back into chaos. Today marriage remains the pillar and foundation stone for healthy and vibrant families, civil society, and faith communities. If we tamper with or undermine this institution and everything else fall into disarray and chaos, bring shame and misery to all. People of God, it is time to reclaim and make great again, this glorious institution.

In the USA, we spend approximately 12 billion dollars a year on Halloween. It is a major holiday and a holy day, depending on one’s orientation. Secularists claim it is secular, pagan groups claim it is pagan, and most Christians say it is thoroughly Christian. In this teaching we will look at the claims and what the Scripture says about how we should relate to this controversial day. Thanks for joining us in the pursuit of the truth!
