About this listen

Isaiah 9:2-7 - For Advent we’ll be considering four passages from the Old Testament prophets that anticipated the coming of God’s Spirit-anointed Messiah-King, who we know as Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 9, we get a picture of God’s light entering the dark, breaking the chains of His people’s oppression, and sending a Son to rule in perfect wisdom, strength, and peace. We learn that God doesn’t fear the dark, but enters it with us to dispel it. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 1 of our series “Advent in the Prophets”] Questions for reflection: 1) What is the difference between Advent and “the Holiday Season?” 2) How does Advent carry both a realistic and optimistic message? 3) What is God’s relationship to darkness? 4) How is God’s promised ruler different from the various ones that come and go in our world? 5) How does the cross illustrate the totally unique nature of Jesus’s rule and reign?
