Hanukkah Introduction

Welcome to this special Hanuka Series where we're taking a journey for the rich meaning of this beautiful Feast. Hanuka was known as the Feast of the Dedication or the Festival of Lights, and it's the celebration of God's provision, His miracles, and of His faithfulness.
Hanuka is a time to remember the rededication of the temple after its desecration by foreign rulers. It reminds us of God's miraculous provision as a small amount of oil kept the manora lamp lit for 8 days. It is a celebration of light—light in darkness, victory in impossible circumstances, and of the faithfulness of God who keeps His promises.
But onuka is not just a historical event. It also points us to Jesus, the light of the world, who came to bring us hope, redemption, and new life. Each day of this series will explore a Biblical verse connected to these themes, reflected on how it's connected to Jesus, and we will close with prayer. So join us as we celebrate the Festival of Lights and see how it points us to the Everlasting Light, Jesus. Let's begin this journey together.
