Hanukkah: When God Hides

Описание: Join us at Founded in Truth Fellowship this Saturday, November 29th, for worship at 11:00 a.m. EST. Enjoy fellowship and a light breakfast starting at 10:00 a.m.

This week kicks off our three-part Hanukkah teaching series with a powerful message: “When God Hides.” Pastor Matthew Vander Els dives into the story before Hanukkah—a story of silence, desecration, and hiddenness—and what it means for anyone who has ever felt abandoned by God.

While many associate Hanukkah with oil miracles and menorah lights, this teaching takes us deeper into the brutal history behind the holiday. We’ll explore the 400 years of biblical silence between Malachi and Matthew, the horror of Antiochus Epiphanes’ attempt to erase the Jewish faith, and how the hiddenness of God doesn’t mean His absence.

Through the psalms of lament, the cries of Job, and the resistance of the Maccabees, we’ll see that faith isn’t always about clarity—it’s about trust when the heavens go quiet. This message speaks directly to those in seasons of doubt, pain, or uncertainty. Even when God hides, He is still the Savior.
