Begin your Advent season with Week 1 of our Promised One message series! Pastor Dave Mudd dives into the core mystery of Christmas: why our Rescuer, Jesus Christ, had to be both fully human and fully divine.

Discover how God's ancient promises—from Genesis to Daniel—are fulfilled in the one who stepped into our broken world to rescue us. This message challenges us to surrender our self-rule and find true salvation and hope in Jesus as our eternal Prophet, Priest, and King.

Key Takeaways from This Message:

• Understand the Paradox of the Incarnation: See why Jesus had to be 100% man to represent us and bear the consequences of sin, and 100% God to conquer death itself and offer new life.

• Experience Joy in Suffering: Learn to change your perspective on hardship this Christmas, recognizing that even in suffering, the good news of great joy through Jesus remains.

• Stop Trying to Fix Yourself: Identify the two common mistakes we make—believing human effort can fix the world, or trying to be God in our own lives—and surrender to the only one who can truly redeem.

• Grasp Your New Identity: Recognize the miracle of salvation: Jesus takes our death and rebellion, and in exchange, we receive his eternal life and resurrection.

• Meet Your Complete Savior: Explore the three essential roles Jesus fulfills: our speaking Prophet, our representing Priest, and our reigning King.
