Promises of God (230)
  1. “Let no one fear death, for the Death of our Savior has set us free. He has destroyed it by enduring it. He destroyed Hell when He descended into it. He put it into an uproar even as it tasted of His flesh. Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead!” - Chrysostom
  2. God preserves language so he might continue to communicate his love and grace to us, and that we might communicate his love and grace to others.
  3. Nostalgia is a looter who impoverishes us of the truth that God is in our midst right now.
  4. Repent and believe the Good News! Everything is OK.
  5. God’s plans and purposes for this world aren’t dependent upon us. They’re dependent upon him. This means our faith is liberated.
  6. So, what do we pray? What do we say? In times of fear, in times of chaos, in unprecedented times, we pray and say the words that have been written on our hearts.
  7. As a parent listens for the cry of a hurting child, our heavenly Father waits for our cry of weal and woe.
  8. In our transactional view of our faith - “If I don’t… then God won’t.” “I need to, so God can” - we are seriously underestimating who we are dealing with.
  9. Hannah’s story is the story of God’s great reversal.
  10. Many of us have experienced what it feels like to wait and to remain patient this year. This Advent, we are reminded of how the saints before us experienced similar feelings of uncertainty, need, and hopeful expectation as they awaited - both faithfully and unfaithfully - for God to fulfill his promises.
  11. Like Luther and like Hannah, we also receive God’s promise.
  12. Life will not go as planned nor as we would hope, but "God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
