Advent: Through the Eyes of the Prophets Isaiah 9:1-7, 53

December 03, 2023

Pastor Nate Roschen

Each week of this Advent season, we will be looking at Advent through the eyes of those who prophesied about the coming of Christ. In this first week, we are going to be looking at a couple of the key passages about Christ’s coming in the book of Isaiah, but also, we’ll be taking a larger look at the life of the prophet. The book of Isaiah was written in the last half of the eighth century BC by Isaiah, son of Amoz. The book is nearly like a miniature version of the Bible, with two halves: the first concerning judgment, and the second, hope. God is described both as the judge who decrees destruction on a rebellious people, and a compassionate redeemer who will not cast off a people in despair. Join us as we look at what this prophet has to contribute to our understanding of Advent!
