Is Hope Just Wishing, or Is It a Certainty?

Welcome to "Lights, Camera, Christmas!"

In this series, we step out of the holiday rush to examine the core themes of Advent through the eyes of the Christmas story characters.

This week focuses on HOPE. We dive into the prophecy of Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 to understand why Christian hope is a confident certainty—not a fragile wish—because it's anchored in the promised King.

Big Idea: Jesus is the promised King who brings certain and confident hope to a world in darkness.

The Four Guarantees: We unpack the names of the Messiah—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace—as guarantees of God's plan.

Local Connection: Pastor Tom shares reflections and a clip from his final broadcast with Mark Zimmerman of Heartfelt Radio, illustrating how hope endures through change.

Giving Tuesday Opportunity: Please consider supporting our ministry on Giving Tuesday (December 2nd) through Richland Gives.
