The Early Promise of Christmas

2024 THEME: Run with the Horses

SERIES: From Start to Finish

TITLE: The Early Promise of Christmas

Scripture: Genesis 1:1; 3:15; John 1:1-3

I.  CHRISTMAS IN THE BEGINNING

The hinge of history is (Christmas). Why? Because Christmas (changed and changes)
everything.

Let’s start at the beginning. (Christ) changes everything.

Col. 1:15- Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was
created and is supreme over all creation.”

A little lesson worth learning: John 1 uses the imperfect tense indicating ongoing action:
“He was with God, and…was God.” Then he switches to aorist tense (a decisive moment
in time) when he writes, “The Word became flesh.”

II.  CHRISTMAS IN THE WAITING

Why does God do what He does?

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Matthew 1
               2. Genesis 3:15
               3. Genesis 22

Don’t forget: God remembers (His promises). God remembers (His people).
