Snapshots Of The Messiah (Part I) - Genesis

Описание: While Pastor Jonah is away for a couple of weeks, Elder Daryl Hanson fills the pulpit. He begins a series exploring the person of the Messiah. The Hebrew term is Mashiach, and means "The Anointed One." Much like a king or a priest, who are appointed for a special purpose, God officially announced in the Garden of Eden that there would be One who would eventually come, who would be born of a woman by means of a virgin birth, and who would take care of the sin-debt all humans have as a result of the sin of Adam long ago. This One would be sinless, eternal, and God in the flesh. He would suffer and die upon the cross, bearing the sins of mankind, and all those who would repent of their sins, who would believe whole heartedly in Him, and place their trust in His finished work of redemption alone at Golgotha would become Children of God. Trusting in oneself or in any other means in which to be saved will not be sufficient, no matter how many "good deeds" a person might accomplish in their life. Trusting in Jesus Christ alone is the Only Way.

Here are the notes and verses which Daryl uses in his message:
