Channukah and Christmas – Taught by Dr. Phil Gigliotti from One in Messiah
Course Description:
In this four-week online course, we will examine in detail the holidays of Chanukkah and Christmas.
We will discuss the historical origin of Chanukkah, the implications of re-dedication, and the struggle of the Chosen People to preserve their faith and their covenant despite persecution by a powerful enemy.
The Navtivity of the Messiah is one of the most important events in human history. The Plan of Salvation led to the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Trinity Who became Ture God and True Man. This began in the Book of Genesis and was developed by the Prophet Isaiah. It was the plan that dealt with sin and death.
We will look at the key prophecies of Isaiah concerning the birth of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. This will be followed by the accounts in Luke’s Gospel concerning the announcement of His coming into time and space and the actual Nativity.
The class will meet on Sunday afternoons at 4:00 pm ET, starting November 23rd.
The Cost: $89.00 per student
