Worry and Wonder

Isaiah's Messiah

December 11, 2022 • Walter Henegar • Isaiah 11:1–10

Isaiah 11 has three peaks of prophetic fulfillment: in Isaiah’s time, in the first coming of Jesus, and finally in his second coming to make all things new. When we put our hope in the God of this story, he enables us to live lives marked more by wonder than worry.

The First Three Days

December 25, 2022 • Walter Henegar • Philippians 2:5–7

An imaginative exploration of what Jesus’ first three days might have looked like, to help us understand the mystery of the incarnation.

Prepare the Way

December 18, 2022 • Walter Henegar • Isaiah 40:1–11

The familiar images of Isaiah 40 surprise us with a powerful duel message: God wants to comfort us with his coming, and he wants us to prepare for his presence.

For to Us a Child Is Born

December 4, 2022 • Woonny Kim • Isaiah 9:1–7

God tells us that he desires to bring peace to us - not just the end of the conflict, but the full flourishing of all things. That's why he sends the Messiah, Jesus Christ, to us. To be a King over us who brings endless boundless peace. God wants to make you whole, but to do it, he has to rule over you. Refusing to let God rule will lead to a self-wrought ruin and darkness that comes from rejecting God's truth. Accepting his rule gives you access to more peace than you could find by ruling yourself. But we can rejoice, God's own zeal will establish his gracious rule.
