Understanding the implications of Christ and Christmas begin in the Old Testament. The Christmas story is more than a baby, a manger and a star to light the way. The promise begins in the Garden of Eden--before that even--with a plan that God Himself ordained since before time was time. In this 4-message series, Dr. Merritt introduces this series with a message on the importance and limits of time--always a holiday commodity--and then explores the great and wonderful Promise of Christ and Christmas that is sewn into the fabric of Scripture from beginning to end.
