STEVE HORN: God, keeper of promises

March 13, 2017

By Steve Horn

The story of Noah ends in Genesis 9 with a promise. This is the end of Noah’s story, but not our story. God keeps his promises. You say well that’s just one story. No, it’s the ongoing story. To Abraham, “I’ll make you the father of many nations. To Moses, “I AM will be with you.” To Mary and Joseph, To Zacharias and Elizabeth… Then perhaps best of all Jesus prophesying His own death. But better than that, His prophesy of resurrection in three days. See, it’s a pattern. And He has promised His return.

What has he promised to you personally?

  1. His Presence
  2. His Power
  3. To answer our prayer
  4. Salvation
  5. Heaven
  6. Return
  7. The list is infinite.

And He will keep them all.
