Summary

This week on Ask the Pastor, we have a special bonus episode on the question, "Which of the Bible's promises apply today?"

We covered a similar question several years ago, and you can find that episode HERE.

A glimpse inside this episode:

* The Bible contains approximately 3,000 promises from God.
* All promises of God are fulfilled in Christ.
* Understanding the context of promises is crucial for application.
* There are unconditional and conditional promises in the Bible.
* God's character remains consistent despite changing circumstances.
* Promises made to Israel can still have relevance today.
* The New Testament often cites Old Testament promises.
* Believers are encouraged to expect God's goodness in their lives now.
* Faith in God's promises is essential for spiritual growth.
