The Christmas Promise

Tom Messer - Trinity Baptist Church

In this powerful exploration of God's promises, we delve into the story of David in 2 Samuel 7. The central message reminds us that God is a promise-making and promise-keeping God, with the ultimate fulfillment found in Jesus Christ. We're challenged to shift our perspective from a transactional relationship with God to one based on His unconditional grace. The incarnational principle shows us a God who doesn't remain distant but dwells among us, identifying with our struggles. This Christmas season, let's reflect on how God's promises don't depend on our performance but on His unchanging character. As we face life's challenges, we can approach our King with 'large petitions,' knowing His grace and power are limitless. This message invites us to both humble ourselves before God's grace and boldly trust in His promises, finding hope and joy in the eternal kingdom established through Jesus, the true Son of David.
