The Promised One

As we enter into the Christmas season, we are starting a new sermon series called Christmas Throughout the Bible. The purpose of this series is to explore major Biblical themes throughout the Bible that point to Jesus and His coming at Christmas.

This week, we’ll start our series out by looking at the beginning of the Bible where we see a story of beauty, hope, intimacy, and love. Tragically, sin entered the world, brought division between God and man, and introduced chaos into the world. However, God did not leave the world to rot. Right after sin entered into the equation, God made a promise that He would send someone to provide rescue. A boy will be born who will wage war against the enemies of darkness and he will win. This promise is the first hint we get of a Messiah—the anointed one. As we keep reading the Old Testament, we get several other hints that a promised one is coming. But the Old Testament ends without this hero arriving.

Christmas is the culmination of this promise being fulfilled. Jesus is the long awaited Messiah. Listen in as we look at God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His promises and how we can find hope and healing in God’s plan of rescue.
