"But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish..." This is how our passage for today begins. Isaiah ministered during a dark time in the nation of Judah. Yet into the midst of that darkness comes light. It's kind of God's thing to bring us from darkness into light, from sorrow into joy, and from bondage into freedom. He does this through the coming of the child King who will reign with justice and righteousness forevermore. Once again Isaiah helps us understand the advent of our Lord.

What do you fear? It's probably safe to say that all of us are dealing with some form of fear right now. As we go into the Advent Season, the prophet Isaiah is calling us to look up from fear and to put our trust and faith in God. He knows we are weak, so he’s even given us a sign. I pray this message from Isaiah 7:1-14 will help move you from fear to faith!

As we near the Advent Season and remember God's gift coming down to us, we know that the baby born in Bethlehem was Lord and King at His birth! This Sunday we looked at Colossians 1:15-23 and saw that this King Jesus is the Lord of creation as well as the Lord of reconciliation. Because of this, all of creation will be restored and those in Christ will be part of a new creation who will worship their King forever!

Here's a video update from Pastor Rob on the new COVID guidelines and how that will impact our church. A lot of important information in here, so please watch the whole video.

This is the last sermon in the Joseph series and in the Genesis series. This section covers the death and burial of Jacob as well as Joseph's final words to his brothers. All the main themes of the Joseph story appear in this section (Guilt, Power, Providence, and Hope). We'll see how these themes operate in this text and then make connections to our own lives. Perhaps most important, remember that Genesis ends with the hope that God is coming! And in Christ Jesus he has come and will come again!
