Jesus came to show us what God is like. But the coming of Jesus, in his lowly incarnation & birth at Christmastime, was the fulfillment of what the Scriptures had been saying for centuries. At key moments in the OT, God revealed to his people what he was like. “But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son” (Hebrews 1:2). In this series, we want to explore three OT stories where God reveals his character and purposes, and then see how these moments help us understand the revelation of God in Jesus.

Advent stands at the beginning of the church calendar as a season of waiting and anticipation for the coming of Christ. To begin Advent, we explore Genesis 28, a story that reminds us that God is more present than we think, and invites us to see and recognize that "surely God is in this place."
