The Greatest Promise

Have you ever made a promise only to break it? Were you ever promised anything by a loved one only to be disappointed? Our society functions on the basis of promises exchanged between people and institutions.

The Christmas story is actually part of God’s greatest promise that He has made towards humanity. It is important to connect the dots to understand how the birth of Jesus is the fulfillment of a promise God made to deal with humanity’s greatest threat. Join us as we explore God’s Word and find comfort and confidence in God’s promises to deal with the challenges we face.

Hope That Restores

Isaiah 7 details the story of King Ahaz facing an impending invasion by neighbouring enemies. He feels frightened, overwhelmed and hopeless. Through Isaiah the prophet, God asks him to request a sign as a proof that he will support and protect Ahaz from defeat. Instead of replying with a sign, Ahaz seeks protection by creating unhealthy and unapproved alliances with other nations. Yet God gives an unusual sign, “The virgin will conceive, have a son, and name him Immanuel.” How does this sign impact Ahaz?

This unusual sign spoken hundreds of years earlier points to the birth of Jesus. We celebrate this Christmas season because of Immanuel, God with us. Through this important sign we will learn two vital truths that will help us understand how hope restores God’s presence, provision, promises and purpose for our lives. When life seems broken and hopeless, we must hold to the belief and hope thatGod is with us and restores us.
