Of Promise & Prophets

Sin ruined everything. With one bite—one choice—it separated us from God, setting mankind on a path towards dysfunction and death. The days turned dark and evil...and the days turned into months, then years, then centuries. The glorious plan of a loving, faithful relationship between God and man seemed to be nothing more than a long, forgotten memory. Yet in the midst of the silence sin created, prophetic voices called out with a promise of hope. A hope that God hadn’t forgotten his people, and that He was crafting a bold, beautiful rescue operation to save the world from its sin. And the truly amazing thing? The same voices of hope beckon to us today—that no matter our sin, no matter our rebellion—we too can experience deliverance.

Part 1

Yesterday, Today, & Forever

“God with us.” There may not be a more beautiful three-word sentence than that. The birth of Jesus proved once and for all that God isn’t distant and God isn’t far. He’s near. And no matter what we’ve done—the rebellion in our heart, the promises we’ve broken, the sin in our past—it doesn’t change His love for us. Jesus Christ is faithful to the end.
He is with us.

Part 2

God of the Underdog

Prophets foretold of the coming Messiah, but still—no one really expected Jesus. Instead of entering the world in a large palace in a major city, the King of Kings was born in a lowly manger in the tiny town of Bethlehem. In this moment, God was sending a message and fulfilling a promise—no matter how small or insignificant you may feel, God chooses you.
