Finding God's Peace When the World Feels Dark | Advent Week 1 (Isaiah. 2:1–5)

Описание: Finding God’s Peace When the World Feels Dark — Isaiah 2:1–5

In this Advent sermon, Rev. Emily Robnett explores how God meets us in the darkness and invites us to rest in His presence when life feels overwhelming.

Many people enter Advent carrying stress, anxiety, or a sense of darkness — even though the season is often called “the most wonderful time of the year.” Drawing from Isaiah’s vision of turning swords into plowshares and the story of the Sawi people and the Peace Child, this message shows Jesus as God’s ultimate gift of peace and reconciliation.
