We open our Advent series by placing Isaiah 9:1–7 back in its dark, real-world context. Judah trusted itself, not God, and stumbled into fear and chaos. Into that night, God promised a great light from Galilee. This message traces how Jesus fulfills that promise and why His titles matter today: Wonderful Counselor for the confused, Mighty God for the weak, Everlasting Father for the lonely, and Prince of Peace for the anxious. You will see the “already and not yet” of His kingdom and why light always breaks through. If your world feels dim, this is a clear invitation to trust the King who carries the government on His shoulders and to rest in His presence that pushes fear back.
