[SERMON] The Seed; Christmas According to Abraham; December 10, 2023; PCPC Sunday AM Worship
The Christmas story didn't begin in Bethlehem but in God's covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15, where God alone passed between the sacrificial pieces because he knew Abraham; and all humanity; could never keep the covenant; Christ's death on the cross is the fulfillment of that self-imposed curse, making believers Abraham's true heirs.
