We ask whether God is enough when the holidays expose scarcity, family fractures, and buried wounds. Through Jacob’s journey, we explore conviction over condemnation, the weight of avoidance, and how God thinks in generations, calling us from permissive will into perfect will.

• preparing hearts for the holidays through the lens of trust in God
• Jacob’s escape east and the unfinished business with Esau
• anxiety, avoidance, and the cost of burying pain
• Hebrews 12: laying aside weights and sin
• Romans 8: no condemnation versus Spirit-led conviction
• permissive will contrasted with perfect will
• forgiveness that frees both self and others
• generational promises, blessings, and breaking curses in Christ
• speaking blessing over families and acting with courage

We trace Leviticus 24 through three images—an ever-burning lamp, fresh showbread, and a holy Name—to show how daily habits keep faith bright and honest. Prayer, praise, and reverence turn rules into a living pattern for presence, renewal, and integrity.

• The lamp that must not go out and daily oil for sustained presence
• Fresh showbread as a call to fresh praise and gratitude
• The weight of God’s Name and the danger of casual speech
• Moving from tabernacle symbols to heart-level practice
• How prayer, Scripture, obedience, and worship keep the fire alive
• Practical reminders to resist stale routines and cultural drift

We press beyond the basics of faith to a deeper, steadier confidence in God’s promises from Hebrews 6. Warnings against drift, a call to rooted growth, and the anchor of hope invite us to endure with courage because God cannot lie.

• moving beyond elementary teachings toward maturity
• warning against stagnation and spiritual decay
• land, rain, roots, and fruit as growth images
• God noticing work, love, and unseen faithfulness
• Abraham’s patient endurance as a model
• promise and oath as grounds for strong hope
• hope as an anchor that steadies the soul
