Podcasts about Isaiah 9

We've all read this passage at Christmas Eve services. It's a dark, enigmatic passage—and then the promise of God-with-us breaks through. Alex, Jim, and Sam discuss Isaiah 9.

And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6

And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6

And the government will rest on His shoulders – Isaiah 9:6

In this message from Isaiah 9, Pastor Thomas takes a down-to-earth look at where hope and peace really come from. He connects everyday life stress, family struggles, and even Halloween decorations to the deeper truth that light still breaks through the dark. Drawing on the famous passage “a child will be born, a son will be given,” he explains how lasting hope grows inside us, changes the way we see the world, and leads to real joy and peace. If you've been feeling the weight of the world lately, this episode is an invitation to breathe, believe again, and let light rise in the places that feel dim.

And the government will rest on His shoulders – Isaiah 9:6

Join Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Craig Koester as they explore Isaiah 9 in this week's Narrative Lectionary podcast. Moving from the northern prophets to the southern kingdom, the hosts examine Isaiah's vision of hope and justice centered in Jerusalem. This familiar passage—"For unto us a child is born"—is often associated with Advent and Handel's Messiah, but what did it mean in its original context? The conversation unpacks Isaiah's prophecy during a time of Assyrian invasion, the connection to King Hezekiah's reign, and the enduring themes of justice (mishpat) and righteousness (tzedekah) that echo through the prophetic tradition. The hosts wrestle with the tension between Isaiah's vision of endless peace and our present reality of ongoing conflict. How do we hold both the promise of Christ's birth and the "not yet" fulfillment of complete peace? Discover how prophetic hope functions not as self-generated optimism, but as a shaft of light piercing the darkness—God's future breaking into our present and pulling us forward. This episode offers fresh perspective on a well-known text, connecting it to David's covenant, the broader prophetic witness, and the already-but-not-yet reality of God's kingdom.

Isaiah 9, 10 & 11, Pastor Steve (#8 in series on Isaiah)

God comes with powerful grace to a powerless people

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us... – Isaiah 9:6

Jesus is coming soon and that's a fact! I hope you're ready because if you're not, it's not going well for you. If you are, it will be the best day of your life. It's that simple!

When the world feels overcome by darkness, violence, doubt, and despair, Isaiah 9 breaks through with the promise of light. In this message, Pastor Bob Erbig reminds us that the deepest darkness is never final, because God Himself has stepped into it. Through the birth of His Son, the “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,” God brings hope, joy, and justice to a weary world.This message also features a special interview with Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager from the Center for Biblical Unity, offering a biblical perspective on justice and true unity in a divided culture.Join us as we discover how the light of Christ pushes back the shadows, transforms our hearts, and leads us from gloom to glory.

Send us a textLight breaks through darkness in Isaiah 9, one of Scripture's most profound prophetic passages. We journey through this remarkable text that announces hope amid despair and reveals the divine nature of the coming Messiah through a series of majestic titles.The Hebrew word for "light" here, "or", echoes Genesis 1, signaling that the Messiah's arrival represents nothing less than a divine new creation. When Isaiah proclaims "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace," he's not merely crafting beautiful poetry. Each title unveils a facet of Christ's nature: divine wisdom beyond human understanding, explicit deity as God the warrior, eternal paternal care, and the bringer of complete wholeness (shalom).While ancient listeners may have hoped for immediate relief from Assyrian threats, this prophecy transcends their circumstances, pointing to an eternal kingdom "with justice and righteousness from this time forth and forevermore." The declaration that "the government shall be upon His shoulder" offers profound comfort—the ultimate weight of responsibility rests not on fallible human leaders but on the Messiah Himself. His kingdom, unlike every earthly empire, has no expiration date.As we reflect on these ancient words, their fulfillment in Jesus becomes clear. The zeal of the Lord Himself guarantees these promises, demonstrating God's passionate commitment to establish His perfect rule through Christ. Have you experienced the light this passage promises? The divine wisdom, strength, hope, and peace available through the one who shoulders the government of all creation? Join us as we continue exploring the greatest story ever told, a story that includes you and me.The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God's Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God's Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

What does it mean that Jesus is our “Wonderful Counselor” (Isaiah 9:6)? When Isaiah wrote his prediction of the coming of the “Wonderful Counselor” (Isaiah 9:6), he was spurring Israel to remember their Messiah was indeed coming to establish His Kingdom (Isaiah 9:7).  Isaiah was writing nearly 800 years before Christ. This period of history was tumultuous as the Assyrians were on the march, taking people into captivity by droves.  Isaiah's prophecy gave the people of God a hope they so desperately needed: a Child would be born to fulfill the Davidic Covenant, and He would bear the titles “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”  Listen in as we take a deep dive into what's Wonderful.

Three Questions (Isaiah 9:8-10) - Evening Sermon

In our last episode we read about King Ahaz, one of the most evil and unfaithful kings in Judah's history. He not only worshipped other gods, but sacrificed his children to them ass an act of pagan worship. When his son Hezekiah comes to power, he literally cleans house, restoring the temple of the Lord so that all Israel could be called back to worship the God of their ancestors. The priests and the Levites are called upon to consecrate themselves for worship, and they do everything by the book. When the temple has been made ready, they celebrate the Passover early because the people had not done so in a long time. Scripture records that nothing like this has happened since the days of King Solomon.2 Chronicles 29 - 1:11 . 2 Chronicles 30 - 9:59 . Isaiah 9 - 16:40 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

We begin today's reading with a brief historical account from the book of 2 Chronicles covering the reign of Uzziah's son, King Jotham of Judah, before jumping back into Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 9 begins a prophecy about the birth of the Prince of Peace, a passage that many of us read in our church services during Advent or Christmas. In stark contrast, Isaiah moves on to consider the coming of Assyria, the instrument of God's wrath against his people. Remember that earlier in our reading plan, God's covenant at Mount Sinai with the people of Israel came with abundant blessings through obedience, or with dreadful curses for ignoring God's statutes. In chapter 11, Isaiah prophesies of a shoot that will grow from the stump of Jesse, pointing both to the judgment of God against Israel and a Messianic promise. 2 Chronicles 27 - 1:06 . Isaiah 9 - 2:55 . Isaiah 10 - 7:44 . Isaiah 11 - 15:05 . Isaiah 12 - 18:34 . Psalm 133 - 19:58 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Receive the Son (Isaiah 9:1-7) - Evening Sermon

"Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."It's no wonder that these words written some 800 years before the birth of Jesus make the prophet Isaiah such a favourite with Christians, especially at Christmas. However, before Jesus arrives to save the day, things are going to get worse for Israel.

Welcome to the 7th sermon in our series on what the Bible is all about. Do you really know what the Bible is about? When you understand the point an author is trying to make even the most complicated of books make much more sense. This summer we are going to “stand on the shoulders” of D. A. Carson and his book The God Who is There: Finding Your Place in God's Story as we walk through the big story of Scripture to discuss what the Bible is truly about.

Join us this week as we continue our thru the Bible, verse by verse study. In tonight's study, we see in Isaiah 9, the gloom of Assyria's invasion, BUT the hope of victory is predicted, through the birth of a child...the Son of God - Jesus! In our Thru the Bible study, we are journeying through the Bible, at a pace of around a chapter a week! We invite you to join us in this discovery of God's Word!

Message from Gene Cunningham on June 13, 2025

Life can seem pretty dark at times; yet the darker things get, the more Christ's light will shine! Join us for today's study in Isaiah 9 where we'll look into prophecies of light in the midst of darkness and judgment.  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Isaiah 9 continues God's message that began back in Chapter 8 of both judgment and restoration. Verse 1 introduces us to the person who will bring about their restoration. How will the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali be made glorious? According to the podcast, why do they play such an important role in that region? How does referring to them as “Galilee” give us a time stamp of when these events are to take place? 2.    In verse 2, what is the great light that they will see? 3.    In verse 3, what will be the people's response to the work of God spoken about in this passage? 4.    In verses 4 & 5, what will God be accomplishing among them? What does He do to their oppressors? What is the extent of this victory? 5.    Who is the “child” being spoken of in verse 6? What will be His domain? What will He be called? What do these names signify about His character and His work? 6.    The podcast explained that the wording of verse 6 teaches us an important aspect of the nature of Christ. How does the phrases a “Child who is born” and “a Son who is given” give us a window into Christ's preexistent nature and His incarnation? 7.    In verse 7, why is it a joyful blessing to see that the Lord's “zeal” accomplishes all of this? 8.    Despite these wonderful promises of this Messiah, Isaiah 9 continues on to proclaim judgment. What is the Lord's message for Jacob and Israel in verse 8? How do they respond to this message in verses 9 & 10? What does their insistence on rebuilding what God has judged, reveal about their heart to obey (or lack there of)? 9.    What does the Lord's judgment look like in verses 11 to 15? 10.    In verse 16, what role do the false teachers have in this judgment? In verse 17, what is the Lord's view of them? 11.    What picture of judgment does Isaiah give in verses 18-20? How do the people respond to the Lord in verse 21? Why do you think they would respond this way? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

The Word of God is beautiful and layered, filled with God's heart, purpose and agenda.  It may be surprising to hear that there are over 150 chapters in the Word that are dedicated to the end time storyline, that is the generation leading up to the return of Christ, His appearing and the time period after He comes.  This is a tremendous amount of information in the scripture, more it written about the final generation than any other generation in the Bible.  In order for us to qualify one of these chapters from the Bible as counting as an end time chapter more than 50% of the chapter must be about end time themes.  With that said there are many other passages and verses which qualify as contributing to the end time storyline which are not included in the 150 and which will not receive the same level of attention in this course. Contact and Visit Us:www.tprdfw.comYoutube Live Stream link: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TPRLiveStream/streams⁠1503 Nora DrivePantego, TX 76013info@tprdfw.com817-299-8305Building Night and Day Prayer in Dallas - Fort WorthDoors are Open at 3am and Close at 1am, 7 days a weekContact and Visit Us: https://www.forerunnerfellowship.orgForerunner YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/@forerunnerfellowship1665Forerunner Fellowship2705 S Cooper St Ste 200Arlington TX 76015info@forerunnerfellowship.orgPlease Join Us for Sunday Morning Service at 10:30!

1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us that the Scriptures provide graphic detail of the times (Greek ‘chronos' which God has explicitly revealed through His Scriptures and particularly in His prophetic word) and that He has adjusted ie patterned the world's eras around His Son, the Christ (Hebrews 11:1). Time in this chapter is made up of longer periods called “times” and shorter periods known as “seasons”. The shorter seasons characterised by specific signs compel us to believe that our Lord's coming is imminent (Luke 21 verses 24-36). These signs urge us to watchfulness and to lives that are consistent with us being the children of the DAY. That is the day soon to dawn when the sun of righteousness will arise with healing (Malachi 4 verse 1). We are exhorted us to lives consistent with the character required of the children of our Father in verses 4-11. The chapter concludes with patterns of behaviour befitting the children of the kingdom (cp 2 Peter 3 verses 10-18).
