Longing for Peace

December 7, 2025

What happens when we lose the whole biblical story? This Advent message from Isaiah invites us back into God’s grand narrative—where truth and grace meet, the Shepherd-King reigns, and real hope is born.

Drawing from Isaiah’s rich Messianic prophecy, this sermon explores how Jesus fulfills God’s promises not only as the King from David’s line, but as the Shepherd rooted in Jesse—one who knows His sheep and lays down His life for them.

As Advent looks backward to Christ’s first coming and forward to His return, this sermon invites believers to trust God’s promises—even when the peace of His coming Kingdom stretches beyond human understanding. True hope is found not in what we can fully grasp, but in faithful trust in the God who is making all things new.
