Pastor Brent launches our fall sermon series, “The Promises of God.” After outlining The Pattern of the Kingdom (Gen. 1-2) and The Fall (Gen. 3), he focuses on The First Promise (Gen. 3:15). Redemption is not God’s “Plan B,” it is His “Plan A.” According to Dr. Graeme Goldsworthy, God’s promise and fulfillment can be summarized as “God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule in God’s holy and loving presence.” Pastor Brent ended with a plea that our hearts would burn within us as the Scriptures are opened to us (Luke 24:25-27, 32).
