"A Temple For His Fire" (Chanukah) - Shabbat - 12/20/25


Devotional Companion with Discussion Questions: https://shalomaz.com/shabbat-devotionals


What happens when the Temple has been neglected, defiled, and left in ruins—but God still wants to dwell there?


In this Chanukah message, we’re invited to do more than celebrate a miracle of oil. We’re called to a deep cleaning and a fresh rededication of the true Temple—our lives. Just as the Maccabees cleansed the Temple and lit the menorah with all they had, this teaching challenges us to lay our lives bare before the Lord, surrender every room of our hearts, and let Him move in as King.


Discover what it means to be:

- Living stones formed for His dwelling

- Set apart without divided loyalties

- Filled with His flame—a light that never goes out


If you feel like you don’t have enough oil, strength, or adequacy—this message is for you. Offer Him what you have, and watch Him make it enough.
