Pastor's Corner - Advent Thoughts
Dear Friends,
Each week as we build in anticipation during Advent, I would like to offer some reflections on the sermon from the previous Sunday and look ahead to the coming Lord's Day.
There are three ideas that I think are worthy of meditation as we think about Christmas in the Garden through the promised seed of the woman:
1. Notice how the promise of salvation came in the form of a curse to Satan and Eve. Can you spot the promise in Genesis 3:15?
2. Notice how a sacrifice was made to demonstrate God's love and provision for Adam and Eve. Can you spot the sacrifice in Genesis 3:21? What does this provision of clothing symbolize for believers in Christ?
3. Notice the expectation of Eve in Genesis 4:1. How is Jesus the fulfillment of her expectation? See Luke 2:10-11.
As we look ahead, this week's Ancient Christmas sermon will be on Isaiah 9 and the promise of a child.
Have you ever truly considered what Christmas means?
Have you pondered the implications of the incarnation - of God becoming flesh - being born?
How do the promises made to the child in Isaiah 9:6 give us hope in 2020?
Merry Christmas! I look forward to seeing you Sunday and continuing our celebration of Advent!
By His grace and to His praise,
Pastor Wilson
