God’s Promises

God’s Promises

Rev. Joseph Maiocco Rector

The resurrection of Jesus is a God Promise, something so grand and miraculous only God can ful­fill. Old Testament prophets and Jesus foretold it. The Bible is full of promises God has made to his people and there is a book we give to St. John’s visitors on weekends entitled “199 Promises of God.”

Enjoy this Easter season by affirming God Promises for you!
