Advent | Week One | The Promise, Announcement, and Fulfillment of Redemption

This week, we began week one of our Advent series by examining the true meaning of Christ's arrival. It's not just as a sentimental holiday tradition, but as the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. Pastor Michael explored three movements: God's Promise in Isaiah 9 of a coming King, the Announcement to Mary in Luke 1 that this promise was being fulfilled, and the Purpose of redemption revealed in Galatians 4. We saw that Jesus came as our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. He is not just to be celebrated once a year, but to rescue us from slavery to sin and adopt us as beloved children of God.
