In the conclusion of our Promised One series, Pastor Alex Gowler shares a powerful message for Week 4 on what it means to recognize Jesus as our Perfect King. Drawing from the life and visions of the prophet Isaiah, we explore the historical tension between earthly leadership and divine promises. Whether you are navigating a season of "deep darkness" or simply waiting for a breakthrough, this message serves as a reminder that the Messiah—our Emmanuel—is faithful to His word. Learn why God’s timing, though it may feel slow, is always intentional and why Jesus is a King truly worth the wait.
