To Us a Son Is Given

Sermon Series: “For Unto Us” an Advent Series

Speaker: Lead Pastor - Dustin Aguilar

Scriptures:

Isaiah 9:6

Context:Isaiah 8:22-9:7

What We Believe:

• The Gentiles were walking in darkness.

• A light would come that would multiply the nation of Israel.

• God would adopt the world of Gentiles and graft them into the nation of Israel.

• The light coming into the world brings joy.

• Jesus is not a “killjoy.”

• On the contrary, he is the source of true joy.

• The light breaks oppression.

• It breaks the yoke, or power, of the oppressor.

• The light brings ultimate, world-wide peace.

• God Himself would come into the world.

• In the midst of war, we can know the personal Prince of Peace.

• When Christ returns, His Kingdom will come and the world will know physical peace.

• The light has come into the world and brought joy and peace, but the world is still waiting for ultimate joy and peace.

How to Obey:

• Put your trust in Jesus and invite Him to live in your heart.

How to Walk Intimately with God:

• Do not lose your anticipation for the Second Coming.

• This Christmas, do not simply go through the motions.

• Pray: “God, increase my anticipation for the second coming.”
