Sermon Notes for 11/23/2025
TITLE: A Promised Light
SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 9:1-7
In the midst of dark times, a light is promised!
The Darkness that Seems Permanent (9:1-2)
- The region of Galilee was captured in 732 BC
- Zebulun and Naphtali will one day be glorious…
The Reversal God Promised (9:3-5)
- The Lord will increase the nation, increase joy, and rejoice as in the day of harvest!
The Child Who Changes Everything (9:6)
- “For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given…”
- Isaiah writes as though he is absolutely certain this will happen
- The light has come (Genesis 1:3), and the Light will come (John 1 & Matthew 4:13-16)
The King We Long For (9:7)
- “… the government will rest on His shoulders…”
- His kingdom will be endless, upheld by justice and righteousness, and will be accomplished by the Lord's zeal!
Darkness is real, but it is not final! May we walk in His light! May we trust Him in the dark times! May we join Him in His mission to grow His kingdom!
