Podcasts about Isaiah 9

Sunday Evening Service - November 16, 2025 Pastor Tate Fritz Isaiah 9:2

Today’s Bible Verse:“Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever. The land of Zebulun and Naphtali will be humbled, but there will be a time in the future when Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with glory. ” — Isaiah 9:1–2 Isaiah 9:1–2 sits at the beginning of one of the Bible’s most beloved Messianic prophecies and is a cornerstone passage during Advent. This verse speaks directly into seasons of gloom, spiritual darkness, national anxiety, and personal distress — and answers it all with light breaking in, not fading out.

As our year of focusing on the Old Testament comes to a close, it is fitting that we conclude with texts from the Messiah's first “biographer,” the prophet Isaiah, whose career spanned 740–680 B.C. Thanks to the Lutheran composer Handel, whose “Messiah” is especially popular around Christmas and Easter, many of Isaiah's prophecies are quite familiar (in fact, about one-third of the movements in “Messiah” are from Isaiah!). As we open these Old Testament texts, we discover the incarnate Lord and the gifts of forgiveness of sins, life and salvation that He came to bring. Rev. Carl Roth, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins Sarah to talk about the “Searching Scripture” feature in the December 2025 issue of the Lutheran Witness titled "Son of David, Son of God" on Isaiah 9:2–7 and Isaiah 11:1–10. This year, “Searching Scripture” is themed “Opening the Old Testament” and will walk through ways that the Old Testament witnesses to Jesus Christ and His grace, mercy and peace, delivered through the holy Christian church.

From the psalmist's declaration of God's enduring faithfulness to the angel's announcement to Zechariah, Scripture reveals a God who keeps His word. In Jesus, every promise finds its ‘Yes.' Because the Promise is fulfilled, we have unshakable hope.

Isaiah 9:2

What is it like to watch the sun rise? This Advent, we will be thinking about the dawning of God‘s light, and practicing waiting for the full and final day, when Jesus returns. Rev. Jon Hall | November 30th, 2025 _______________________________________________ We're Incarnation Tallahassee! Visit our website! www.incarnationtlh.org/

This Advent, as we contemplate God‘s gift of light, we begin by considering the real darkness in our world. Isaiah's promise of a child king was first given to people who were living through a nightmare, not a Christmas movie. So it can speak hope to our darkest places as well.

I. A king who is all-seeing II. A king who is everywhere III. A king who is all-knowing IV. A king who is ever-holy

“Hope is the power of being cheerful in circumstances that we know to be desperate.”— G. K. Chesterton Hope is formed in the darkness. We like our hope clean and well-lit. The kind that comes with a contract, or a guarantee from a reputable source, we want hope with a tracking number, or a scheduled delivery date. But real hope—the kind Scripture speaks of, the kind that held Mary in her bewilderment and Jesus in the tomb—is not tidy. Real hope is not born in clarity. Real hope begins when we do not know what comes next. Hope is, in fact, the courage to believe that God is doing something when we cannot see a thing.

Brent Wilson preaches from Isaiah 9:6 on November 30th, 2025.

The True Light of Christmas Christ—the Light Amid the Darkness Isaiah 9.1–7 November 30 2025

What do we do when the world feels increasingly heavy, anxious, and bleak? In this Advent message, we explore our deep human longing for hope amid fear, doom-scrolling, and the relentless stream of bad news. Drawing from Isaiah's prophecies, we trace Israel's history of failed leaders and unmet expectations, revealing how the ache for rescue has always been part of the human story. Ultimately, we look to the surprising and upside-down hope of Jesus—the promised King who comes not with political power, but in humility, vulnerability, and sacrificial love.

THE DAWN OF HOPE 1. Hope is Born (Luke 2:11–14) 2. Hope Shines (John 8:12) 3. Hope Wins (Rev. 11:15)

As Advent begins, we open up Isaiah 9 and are reminded of the hope that comes from the King who steps into our darkness. He is the Light who dawns on people walking in darkness, and the King whose hope doesn't run out.Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

Advent - 1st Sunday - Isaiah 9:2-7 - Adrian Ortiz by FBC Benicia

Pastor Roger WilliamsJesus is our Wonderful Counselor and this leads to light, joy, and freedom.

At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to "Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, "that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort." As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

As the Wonderful Counselor, Jesus provides perfect wisdom and care for all who come to him. For to us a child is born, To us a son is given; And the government shall be upon his shoulder, And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6 The Prophetic Context Matthew 4:12-13 Now when he heard that John [the Baptist] had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali.... Matthew 4:14-17 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of Gentiles- the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned." From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." For to us a child is born, to us a son is given.... - Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder.... - Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6 The Preeminent Counselor 1. Jesus is all-wise.  2. Jesus is approachable.  3. Jesus is reliable. 4. Jesus is available. As the Wonderful Counselor, Jesus provides perfect wisdom and care for all who come to him. Applications: 1. Come to Jesus with all your struggles and sins. 2. Listen to Jesus through the Word of God. 3. Walk with Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
