The Promise Is Near

December 19, 2021 • Andrew Lough • Malachi 4:5–6, Luke 1:1–25

The Promise For A Future

November 28, 2021 • Andrew Lough • Genesis 3:15–24, Genesis 4:1, Numbers 23:19–23, Psalm 36:5–12, Lamentations 3:21–26

As Adam and Eve realize the consequences of sin and their separation from their creator, there is a promise that the evil born would not endure forever - that their children would live to see a day when the serpent and his power of deception and accusation would be vanquished. Their fall is also a new beginning pointing to hope for humanity based on the promises of God.

The Promise For A People

God's covenant with Abram is a promise to bless all people. That promise begins with a child, but extends to all people through the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
