Chanukah: Dedication and Re-Dedication

A Sabbath Sermon by Michael David Gonzales on Shabbat Chanukah, the Sabbath which falls within the eight days of Chanukah, the Feast of Dedication. In this message, Michael compares Solomon’s dedication of the first temple with the Maccabee’s re-dedication of the defiled temple. He then discusses the similarities of re-dedication and repentance, or teshuvah.

This message was recorded at Alive in Messiah, a Non-Denominational Bible Church in Tacoma, Washington where Michael served as an elder from October 2018 to March 2022.
