Title:

Description:

Life is full of promises, some which are empty and some which are fulfilled. A promise is dependent upon the power and faithfulness of the one who makes the promise, and so we can trust the promises of God. Just as God fulfilled the promise to send the Messiah, God will fulfill the promise that Jesus will return one day. In the meantime, we must wait and hasten that coming by living lives of righteousness. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Sermon start time: (Part 1) 32:19. Sermon end time: (Part 2) 05:09.
Key quotation: “All around us there may be promises, promises which are met with suspicion, doubt and are characterized by a question mark. But thanks be to God, there are the promises of the Lord that we can accept with certainty and that can be characterized by an exclamation point.”
