This Month’s Biblical Theme Is: God is a promise keeper.
When sin entered the world, God made a promise to His people to send a Savior who would redeem them. Our great God did not leave us to our sin but kept His promise!

The stunning beauty of the Christmas season is that God is the promise keeper who sent the greatest gift of all, Jesus!
