This message details the continual conflict between the cultures defined by powerful
Gentile nations and the Biblical culture of ancient Israel. More specifically, the historical
context that Yeshua was born into is considered and the Hellenizing of His movement in
the centuries subsequent to His earthly ministry. Lastly, our view of the light in which
believers should view Saint Nicholas is discussed as a motivation for participation in the
kind of righteousness that leaves a legacy.
