Christmas in Genesis (The Promise of a King)

Kendall Lankford • Genesis 17:1–6, Genesis 49:8–12

The promise of the King goes back to the most ancient passages. As we celebrate the Lordship and Kingship of Christ, born in the royal line of David, let us also remember hat His foundations are from old and His Kingdom will never end.

Christmas in Genesis (The Promise of Freedom)

December 17, 2023 • Kendall Lankford • Genesis 22:1–19, Luke 2:7

In the great scene, where Abraham is called to sacrifice his son Isaac, we see a picture of Gospel freedom. Like Isaac, God's Son, like Isaac was bound. But, unlike Isaac, God did not allow Jesus to walk away free, because in that event, He was purchasing our freedom.

The Promise of Blessing

December 10, 2023 • Kendall Lankford • Luke 2:1–17, Genesis 12:1–3

Ask we saw last week, the hope of Christmas can be found in the first book of Genesis. There we learn that Jesus will not only be born of a virgin, but He will also bring about world-wide dominion and blessings. Join us as we consider how Christ inherits and will bring about the blessings of Abraham (Gen. 12:1-3) by being the true seed of Abraham (Gal. 3:16).

The Promise of a Son

December 3, 2023 • Kendall Lankford • Genesis 3:1–15, Matthew 1:18–25

The foundation of Christmas does not begin in the Goaspel of Matthew or of Luke, but in the first chapters of Genesis. Join us as we explore the promise of a Son, who would come through a virgin's womb, prophesied thousands of years before it happened.
