The Tree of Promise

Series: The Real Tree of Christmas

Category: Faith

Speaker: Jason Williams

In the sermon his past Sunday we continued the Advent series, The Real Tree of Christmas, by looking at the Tree of Promise. In Genesis 12, God makes a promise to Abraham, that through his family tree God will bless all other family trees. The Gospel of Matthew opens the nativity story with a genealogy that introduces Jesus as the promised descendent of David and Abraham. Through faith in Jesus, God promises to bless the nations by undoing the curse of sin and death. What does it mean that God has sent Jesus to rescue you? Can you think of a time where you were required to follow God and trust Him based on faith alone?
