Can we be sure we can trust God to keep his promises to us? What about God’s promises to his chosen people, Israel? Have God’s promises failed? This week we see from Romans 9:1-33 how God’s promises have not failed, nor is he unjust, because salvation depends on God showing mercy to those he has chosen. Far from undermining our confidence, understanding God’s merciful choice humbles us and gives us a deeper confidence in our sovereign God.
Passage: Romans 9:1-33

The Light

At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus, but who are we really dealing with? This week we see from John 1:6-13 that Jesus is the light of life who came into the world so that those who receive Him can become God’s children.

God With Us in Person

Christmas is about God with us. John tells us God has always personally communicated to us like a father with his family, especially at Christmas. We see from John 1:1-5 that Jesus is the Word who created everything and so has the blinding power to create unquenchable new life for us.

Adoption – Sinners Made God’s Sons

How is adoption the climax of the Bible and the ultimate blessing of Christianity? This week we look at our last and ultimate Big Word in God’s Big Plan: Adoption – Sinners Made God’s Sons. We see from Galatians 3:23-4:7 that in Christ, we are adopted as God’s sons so that we may live as His children.
