Promises, Promises... Parents make them. Children make them. And, sadly, we all break them. Because of our inherent distrust, we spend inordinate amounts of money to lawyers to help us draft contracts. We have to get promises in writing because we often can't trust other people. And, truth be told, we often can't be trusted. Trust is hard to come by - not because it isn't good, but because we're not! Yet, there's one type of promise, that God makes, called a covenant. It's based on Him alone - and it's a one-way, never compromising, always-for-us promise to save us. The Old Testament calls our attention to these covenant promises - and they're fulfilled, and completely realized in Jesus.Over the next five weeks of Lent we will take a journey through some of the promises that God makes and seeing how they are fulfilled in Jesus. 2 Corinthians 1:20 says, "For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding "Yes!" And through Christ, our "Amen" (which means "Yes") ascends to God for his glory." Sufferings, challenges, disappointments are the natural course of events for us humans. And we long for someone to promise good for us. In the Old Testament, you see amazing promises made: God will provide a way through danger; God will provide a sacrifice; God will draw hearts to worship; God will be just; God will make things new -- each promise draws us closer to the reality our hearts long for, but our eyes never quite see. But (often when it's the darkest) we do see: All those promises find their "yes" in Jesus -- and our hearts sing out, "Amen!". Join us on the journey in this Gospel-centered Bible study. Read scripture, reflect, and join a small group Bible study as you explore the "Yes & Amen!" of Jesus.
