Shalom to those who love YHWH and all of His Word Hanukkah ~ The Feast of Dedication A brief history of this story is that in 168 BC the Selecuid ruler, Antiochus IV (Epiphanes), became the ruler of Syria and all Jewish observances were banned under penalty of death. He pillaged the city of Jerusalem, took 10,000 captives, stripped the Temple of its treasures, and built a pagan altar on the Great Altar of Burnt Sacrifices. On the 25th day of of the 9th month (Antiochus' birthday) a sacrifice was brought to this altar for the first time. Every village was required to sacrifice a pig and then he erected an idol to Zeus in the Holy of Holies - later called the abomination of desolation. The family who came to be known as the Maccabees (meaning the hammer ), under the brilliant leadership of Judas, the son of Mattathias, defeated the powerful Syrian army. On the 3rd anniversary of the desecration of the Temple in 164 BC the Temple worship was reestablished. The temple was dedicated - in Hebrew the word is Hanukkah. In the Brit HaDashah (New Testament), we find mention of Messiah during this time period: "And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. John 10: While customs and traditions have been added throughout the centuries, we can surely take part in this celebration of dedication by rededicating our own lives to imitate the Messiah and walk as he walked. As we light the candles, let us allow the Light of Messiah to shine brightly in our lives! Recently Released Teachings BELIEVING

2 Can we profess to believe in the Word of God and not do the Word of God? What does believing look like? What does the Bible say? How does Biblically defining terms affect the meaning we extract in our study? This study examines those questions and uses the Bible to reveal the answers. BELIEVING ACTS 15 - Obedience or Legalism? Does Acts 15 teach that we are not to still obey the Law of God as written by Moses, or just that we can not be saved by observing the law? To answer this, we need to know the debate and the groups involved. You may have always been told what to believe about Acts 15, now...let's test it.
