27 Nov "When Messiah Comes - There Will Be Light" Isaiah 2:1-5 To help us get the real point of the Advent season, I want to take us back about 750 years before Christ to a prophet named Isaiah. Isaiah was both a prophet of judgment and a prophet of hope. Over the next several weeks we’re going to deal with some of Isaiah’s most memorable writings concerning the coming Messiah, and what it will mean for the world when the Messiah comes. But we’ll also remind ourselves that the manger of Bethlehem was only the beginning of messianic history.

13 Nov "God has Spoken" - Joint Worship with Celestial Praise and Glassy Mountain Chapel Psalm 19 If I’ve heard it once this past week, then I’ve heard it a hundred times. It’s a cliché, yes, but Journalists and Newscasters, Radio broadcasters and even neighbors have all said it. I’m referring to the phrase: “well, the nation has spoken” referencing this past week’s election. To be fair, we’d be hearing it and saying it just as much if the other candidate had won. We put people in groups and say things like, “small business owners have spoken,” or “farmers and the Heartland

And because our thoughts and attention this week will be on the Presidential Election, I want us to
