Banners

It’s so nice to see all kinds of colourful banners all over the city. Some announce upcoming events, while others are merely for aesthetic purposes.
Some banners are created from children’s art work, and others are the expensive product of professional graphic artists. In the British Isles, banners were used to display a family’s Coat of Arms; in China, during the Manchu era, they used them for signalling; in battlefields throughout the ages, they have been used for identification. Have you ever noticed that banners are always placed in strategic and very visible locations? No matter the purpose behind them, banners are made to be seen.

Moses built an altar there and called it, ‘The Lord My Banner.' Exodus 17:15
Jehovah Nissi literally means “the Lord our Victory.”
Our banner of victory which is symbolic of the finished work of Jesus, gives us hope and focus in uncertain times.
