Matt Scott preaching on Isaiah 9:1-4

A narrative of American blessing is that each generation will be blessed more than the one before it through greater wealth...basically more stuff, the goal being to alleviate suffering. People now rush about trying to fulfill this narrative and some acquire a great deal, but through these efforts, we don't achieve the blessings of love, faith, hope, peace, confidence, and contentment. As disciples of Jesus, "fishers of people", our net is the Gospel of Jesus and his way of life, peace amidst suffering, contentment without great wealth, and confidence of eternal life in God even in death.
