Children of the Promise. An Advent Midweek Series.

“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I set you apart. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.” God spoke those words to a young man named Jeremiah when he called him to point people to the coming Savior. Everyday God calls children to faith in him and into service for him. For many of us, God called us to faith when we were children. This Advent season we will look at three “Children of the Promise.” Three children who were called by God in a special way to prepare people for the Savior: Moses, Samuel, and John the Baptist. These children would grow up to be leaders, pointing and leading people to Christ. We’ll see how God protects and delivers his people, how he speaks to us through his word, and how he prepares us to trust his message and his messengers. Throughout Scripture, God used children in his plan of salvation. Child or adult, we pray that this series will help prepare your heart for the ultimate “Promised Child” this Advent season.
