God's Promise in the Old Testament
But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel;...Luke 24:21
As Jesus’ disciples, our journey of faith begins with trusting in God. From the beginning, God established his Covenant with Israel and promised the Messiah to redeem all of Creation. Today, we have hope knowing that God fulfilled his promise in Christ Jesus.
