Hope Christmas Service

Dec 22, 2024    Bob DeFelice

The Bible is in many ways a Promise Book. We see down the centuries the Faithful promise of God - fulfilled in the birth of the Messiah - on Christmas Day. There are over 300 Old Testament prophetic promises – fulfilled in Jesus Christ (Immanuel - God with us). Jesus was the promise of the Father for our salvation - and when Jesus was returning to the Father - He made another promise - to send Holy Spirit to indwell all who believe in Him. (God In us). When the Holy Spirit came, He came bearing gifts (1 Cor. 12:8-11; Romans 12:6-8; Eph. 4:11; 1 Peter 4:10-11). These are the gifts that we are called to gift to others - not just during the Christmas season but all the year through.
