I Am - wk1

"I Am the Promised One" - Genesis 12:1-3

This time of year it’s so easy to get distracted by the busyness of the holiday season. As our “to-do” list grows, we can easily lose focus on what we are celebrating. So this Christmas season we are going to spend four weeks focusing on Jesus. We are going to see that Jesus is the One who was promised by God. He is the One who is the offering for sin. And He is the only Way that leads to heaven. This morning we will start by looking at the word “promised.” Promises are easy to make and hard to keep. Most of us have experienced a broken promise, and it’s easy to become promise weary. But from ancient times God made a promise through Abraham that He has already kept. Jesus is the Promised One - but we have to believe in the One who was promised.
