The Maccabees: A Story of Courage, Faith, and Hope
Listen now
Description
Hanukkah, a season of God’s light and miracles, is probably one of the most well-known Jewish holidays, primarily because of its proximity to Christmas. But do you know what miracles are remembered and celebrated during this season? Host Yael Eckstein begins a series on Hanukkah, exploring the many lessons of faith that the Festival of Lights has for us, especially during this dark time when Israel finds herself at war and God's people find themselves praying to Him for a miracle once again. Today, Yael tells us the miraculous story of the Maccabees, and how their courage and faith in God were a huge turning point in history for the Jewish people. Hanukkah is a reminder for us that we never know how one act of bravery can be turned into one of God’s miracles! For more information on today’s episode visit mybiblicalroots.org.
