In the Darkness We Waited (Isa 9:1-7)

Описание: In this Advent sermon from Isaiah 9:1–7, Pastor Zach Carter unpacks the world behind the word Advent—a political term for an emperor’s victory parade—and shows how early Christians used it to describe the arrival of a very different kind of King. Against the backdrop of King Ahaz’s panic, failed political alliances, and the looming brutality of Assyria, Isaiah announces not a new policy, but a Person: a child, a Son, whose government and peace will know no end.

Zach traces how God shines light into real darkness—national, cultural, and deeply personal—and why our deepest hope is not found in managing circumstances, winning culture wars, or finding “light within,” but in the King who carries the government on His shoulders. As Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, Jesus breaks the yoke of sin and oppression and invites us into a kingdom of joy, justice, and unending peace.
