In today’s climate of turmoil and uncertainty, threatening and incapacitating feelings run rampant. Yet the God who created your emotions has also given you everything you need to navigate them. The Bible paints relatable and resonant portraits of women and men struggling with grief, anger, guilt, and despair—and provides divine wisdom for transforming your emotional trials into spiritual triumphs.
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.
