In today's teaching, Pastor Gary shares the HISTORICAL, BIBLICAL, and PRACTICAL application of Hanukkah. Hanukkah is a Jewish celebration of an event that happened in Jerusalem 165 years before Christ when a group of Jews rebelled against their Greek oppressors. The miracle that occurred is still commemorated today in the 8-day celebration of Hanukkah. How does Hanukkah relate to Christ or Christmas? And what is the real meaning of Hanukkah? Find out in today's study.

In every culture around the world, something that is broken becomes worthless and discarded. Only in the Kingdom of God is something broken of great value. It's a beautiful thing to God when we become broken over our sin--when we humble ourselves and confess sin so that we can be forgiven by God. In the closing chapters of Ezra, the people had committed a grievous sin. But when they responded with weeping and confession and humility, they were met with the grace of God. So it is with our lives as well.

In life, we can expect some opposition. People will not always like us or treat us fairly, especially if we are taking a stand for truth and living a life that honors God. So how does a Christian respond to opposition? Pastor Gary shares 5 principles for dealing with opposition in our personal lives and he also shares examples of opposition that Cornerstone Chapel has faced regarding the church's building project.

Do you ever find yourself dwelling too much on the past that it has affected the present? Bad memories and even good memories can rob us of enjoying the present. We can miss the goodness of God today if we are stuck in yesterday. In today's teaching, Pastor Gary challenges us to build on the good past, give to God the bad past, and learn to see what God is doing in the present.

Our annual Thanksgiving Eve service is devoted entirely to worship and testimonies, giving God thanks for all He has done in the past year.

As our church goes through a season of change with a building program, there are many principles we can learn from the Jewish exiles who returned to Jerusalem to rebuild their city, their lives, and their Temple during the days of Ezra and Nehemiah. Two of the things that will remain constant at our church are the priority of Jesus and the practice of worship. Pastor Gary will show us the parallel in Ezra chapter 3, so take your Bibles and join us there for today's study.
