April 04, 2025 Daily Devotion: “Renewal and Hope” Isaiah 40:31 (NIV) "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." In times of uncertainty and struggle, many find comfort in the promise that the Lord renews our strength when we place our hope in Him. This verse encourages us to trust in God's power and provision, reminding us that He lifts us above our challenges.
The Reverend Doctor David Kim
Overcoming Fear, Doubt, and Adversity in Faith Life often presents us with mountains—challenges that seem impossible to climb. But through faith in Christ, we can overcome fear, doubt, and adversity, standing firm in the hope that God provides. In this powerful sermon, we explore four key mountains we must conquer:
Today, pastor Ray Bentley examines the miracle moment when the angels announce the birth of the Christ child. I absolutely love this. The angels literally take the veil between heaven and earth. Step through that veil as they now announce to the shepherds down in the fields of Bethlehem. Behold unto us born this day a Savior, which is Christ the Lord spread.

Series: Advent 2024 Sermon: Advent of Hope – Isaiah 9:1-7 Advent is a season of anticipation and preparation as we reflect on the first coming of Jesus in Bethlehem and eagerly await His glorious return. In this message, we focus on the theme of hope—not mere wishful thinking, but a confident expectation rooted in God's promises. Isaiah 9:1-7 offers a powerful prophecy of the coming Messiah, a light breaking into the darkness, and a King who brings wisdom, strength, peace, and eternal love. Discover how the hope of Christ transforms despair into joy, weakness into strength, and brokenness into redemption. Join us as we explore: The Great Reversal: God's power to turn gloom into glory.

Hope Has A Name 01 || "Hope" (Isaiah 10:1), by Bjorn Johnson, December 01, 2024. Visit summitwestolive.org for more info about SUMMIT CHURCH in West Olive, MI.
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.” Isaiah 9:2 As Christmas nears, the Advent season begins, focusing on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love to prepare us for Jesus' birth. We start with the message of hope, a gift from God that comes alive in the prophetic words of Isaiah, written centuries before Jesus' arrival. Isaiah foretells a light emerging from the overlooked region of Galilee, home to Nazareth, where Jesus was raised. This surprising choice illustrates God's way of working through the unexpected to bring His hope to a dark world. Isaiah's prophecy captures the contrast between Israel's focus on Jerusalem and the Messiah's emergence from humble Galilee, a place of little renown. Jesus' birthplace and upbringing defy expectations, marking Him as a beacon of divine hope arising from humble beginnings rather than grandeur. His birth in a simple setting, with shepherds as witnesses, underscores that God's work often goes unrecognized by those preoccupied with worldly appearances. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 1 Corinthians 1:27 Jesus embodies hope as both fully human and divine, described in Isaiah's prophecy as a child born and a son given. His human experience connects Him to our struggles, as Hebrews reminds us, while His divinity fulfills God's redemptive plan. This dual nature means He is not merely an extraordinary man but our Savior, worthy of worship. The resurrection challenges any dismissal of Jesus as an ordinary figure, anchoring our belief in His lordship. Isaiah names Jesus as Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, each title revealing His unique role. Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor, provides divine wisdom and comfort, guiding us beyond our limited understanding. As Mighty God, He wages a spiritual battle for our souls, not with force but through sacrificial love. His role as Everlasting Father assures eternal protection, provision, and guidance. He is the Prince who brings us peace with God. Through these gifts, God offers true, abiding hope that transcends earthly limitations, calling us to trust in His enduring character amidst life's darkness.

Christmas 2024 Advent #1 - Hope Isaiah 9:1-7
For many people in America and some other countries, this coming weekend is the Labor Day holiday weekend. In many parts of American life this weekend is a significant transition from summer to fall and life for many people will be very different one week from today than it is now. Sometimes do you wish you could see the future or maybe even rush time ahead? Down through history certain people have occasionally been given by God a clear glimpse into the distant future and they’ve written God’s messages which find fulfillment centuries later. The prophet Isaiah was one of those men and join me again today as we look at his messages in Isaiah 42 written about 690bc and partially fulfilled 700 years later!

Israel hoped the true king would come. Jesus began to fulfill their hopes. We hope the king will come again.
The deepest darkness can often be found right before the light. As we begin the "Christmas Lights" sermon series, Pastor Joey looks at the gloom and anguish of Israel in the 8th century BC as the glory years have faded and both Israel and Judah (soon) would be in exile. Darkness leaves little room for hope. But God is not finished yet. The prophet Isaiah records this powerful birth announcement, giving light and HOPE to a people who needed something to look forward to. Today, we need this same hope. It's not found in material things, politics, sports, or human relationships. Hope is a Person. His name is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. He is Jesus! Messaged preached on Sunday, December 3, 2023.

Royal Hope - Isaiah 9:2-7 by CGS Media
In life, disappointment can feel like a constant companion. But what if there was a way to defy this disappointment with hope and trust? Listen as Pastor Clint begins the Advent season by exploring how we can navigate life's disappointments through the lens of the biblical figures, Ahaz, Isaiah, Mary, and Joseph. Together, we'll journey into the labyrinth of disappointment and emerge with a defiant hope, using lessons from these historical figures and wisdom from Viktor Frankl's experiences. This sermon is a call to become a community of defiant hope, a beacon of light in a world often shrouded in darkness. Sermon Resources: 1.

"Lost In The Cosmos," by Walker Percy 3. “Cynicism creates a numbness toward life. Cynicism begins with a wry assurance that everyone has an angle. Behind every silver lining is a cloud. The cynic is always observing, critiquing, but never engaging, loving, and hoping. To be cynical is to be distant. While offering a false intimacy of being "in the know," cynicism actually destroys intimacy. It leads to bitterness that can deaden and even destroy the spirit.” -Paul E. Miller, "A Praying Life: Connecting With God In A Distracting World" 4. “Hope is not about the future. Hope is about the present, which obviously has to do with the future. But it is a virtue that is cultivated in the present. It fills the present with energy. It connects the two comings of Jesus so that we are now to participate in them…I don't know one thing about the future. I don't know what the next hour will hold. There may be sickness, accident, personal or world catastrophe. Before this day is over I may have to deal with death, pain, loss, rejection. Still, despite my ignorance and my being surrounded by tinny optimists and cowardly pessimists, I say that God will accomplish his will, and I cheerfully persist in living in the hope that nothing will separate me from Christ's love.” -Eugene Peterson, "God's Message for Each Day: Wisdom from the Word of God" 5. “If a prisoner lost hope in his future, he was doomed…One of my friends in the camp had a dream that the war would end March 30. He was convinced the dream was a revelation, but as the date drew nearer, it became clear from the news reports the war was not ending. On March 29 he began running a temperature. On March 30 he lost consciousness. On March 31 he was dead. His loss of hope had lowered his body's resistance to all of the diseases in the camp…Life in a concentration camp exposes your soul's foundation. Only a few of the prisoners were able to keep their full inner liberty and strength. Life only has meaning in any circumstances if we have a hope that neither suffering, circumstances, nor death itself cannot destroy.” -Viktor Frankl, "Man's Search For Meaning"
