Lent & Purim

Listen to the Audio

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle Update.

We recently entered into Lent, which is a reminder to abstain from our works and to allow God to do his work through us. 

We are also approaching the Feast of Purim on March 16-17. The tradition on Purim is to fast during the daylight hours on March 16th and feast in the evening and through the next day as a reminder of how quickly God can take us from fasting to feasting. Purim is a reminder of the story of Queen Esther. There was a law written that was going to destroy God's people. In those days when a law was written it could not be undone but Esther petitioned the king to write a new law that put God's people in control and gave them mastery over their enemies. 

This new law turned the tables, which is a reminder that Jesus is our table turner. He didn't come to abolish or get rid of the Old Covenant, but he gave us a New Covenant that overrides the old, puts us in control and gives us the upper hand. 

I am praying for you.
