Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent and with it we start our new Advent sermon series “The Promise: Our Savior has Come.”  People make promises all the time, but do we always keep them? The promises God makes are different because he always keeps all of His promises. Of all the promises God has made they are met in the one promise of a savior that is fulfilled in the advent of Jesus Christ. During December we will celebrate this life-changing promise. 

This Sunday we start with a message titled “The Promise of HOPE.” A promise has the idea of something that will be done or given in the future, usually to address some kind of need. All promises begin with someone making a promise that gives hope for the future. When was the promise of the Advent of Christ made? This Sunday we will look back to the earliest record of this promise and see how that promise was clarified throughout the Old Testament. One thing that is clarified in Isaiah 9 is the certainty of the promise God made. The grammatical structure of that chapter dictates that as God states His promise it is as though it has already happened. We know that the promised messiah was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus, but there are still benefits to us today and into the future. Join us this Sunday as we look at The Promise Made that can change your life forever!
