Christmas is just two days away! I hope it will be a time of rest, reflection, and celebration for you and your loved ones as you remember the glorious gift of our Savior, Jesus. This past Sunday, Pastor Rob reminded us about the importance of “pondering the promises of God.” As we conclude this Advent season, I thought I would provide you with a list a Bible verses filled with promises of God for you to reflect on.
