The Promise of the Child ~ Isaiah 9:6-7 ~ 12/01/2024

Good morning! Welcome to Esperanza First. We are so glad you have joined us for worship today! This week, we begin to prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Today's passage is a familiar one. Perhaps you even hear Handel's Messiah when you read Isaiah 9:6-7! Don't let the familiarity of this passage rob you of the deeper insights God intends for you. Listen today as Senior Pastor Dr. Jim Wilson unpacks fresh insights from this promise God made to His people 700 years before the birth of the Messiah. Isaiah 9:6-7 (NKJV) 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. +++ Have you believed that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, repented of your sins, and confessed Him as Lord and Savior? If not, today is the day for you to receive God's righteousness through faith! Call our church office and let us know about your decision to follow Him! +++
