We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.

1) Our God is a promise-making God.

2) Our God is the promise-keeping God.

3) We should be a promise-proclaiming people.

It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations. The new birth of man’s spirit by God’s Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others. Missionary effort on the part of all rests thus upon a spiritual necessity of the regenerate life, and is expressly and repeatedly commanded in the teachings of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ has commanded the preaching of the gospel to all nations. It is the duty of every child of God to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.

Discuss this as a family this week:

-- Who in your family is the best at keeping their promises?

-- How does it make you feel to know that God always keeps His promises?

-- How is Jesus the fulfillment of the promises to Abraham and David?

-- How can our family be more intentional about telling others about the wonderful promises of the Gospel?
