Isaiah
The Spirit Sends Gospel Workers
The Spirit Sends Gospel Workers
Anticipate the Shoot of Jesse
Anticipate the Root of Jesse who is Jesus! We should anticipate his coming because He is righteous and He is our rest.
Wait for the Root of Jesse
That brings us to the big idea of our second Sunday of Advent: Wait for the Root of Jesse. Our big idea raises a fundamental question: why should we wait for the Root of Jesus? What is so glorious about the Root of Jesus that we should embrace lives characterized by waiting for and actively looking to him? Our passage provides us with two reasons: 1. He will judge righteously. 2. He will bring global rest.
For Whom We’re Waiting
We’re all waiting for something in advent, but for what are we waiting? We wait not so much for a what, but a who: The Root of Jesse, who will rule righteously and bring rest.
Please God by loving one another more and more

God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth
In the Apostles’ Creed, we begin with “I believe,” but what is it we believe? Or better yet, in whom do we believe? In this passage we answer that question with “our God,” and we behold Him for our comfort.
Cheerfully submit to King Jesus
Cheerfully submit to King Jesus because he is the wise king who knows better and the eternal king that secures you forever.
Sin Ruins Everything
Sin ruins everything: Grace changes everything
Go Tell it on the Mountain
Live as God’s rescued people
Go Tell it on the Mountain
In a world that is fractured and where it’s hard at times to feel the joy of Advent, Isaiah encourages us to be a people who anticipate, proclaim, and display good news.
