We all love a hero. From sports legends like Bo Jackson to movie characters, we're drawn to stories of strength and victory. But every earthly hero eventually reveals their flaws or fades away.

This Christmas season, we're reminded that Israel was waiting in darkness for a different kind of hero—a Mighty God. Not just a human king, but a divine warrior who would fight for them. Isaiah prophesied something extraordinary: the coming Messiah would be both fully human (from David's lineage) and fully divine (Mighty God).

Here's the beautiful truth: Jesus won, and He's working for your good. Right now, between His first and second coming, He sits at the Father's right hand advocating for you. While the enemy accuses and tries to make you tap out—especially during the holidays when everything feels amplified—Jesus is pleading your case.

You might feel alone in the darkness right now. Maybe you're overwhelmed by circumstances, regrets, or losses. But just like the young warrior in the forest who discovered his father had been watching over him all night, you're not alone. Your Mighty God is there, ready to defend you.

In this sermon, discover how hope in Christ transforms our present reality by bringing glimpses of a promised future. Focusing on Isaiah 9:6-7, the speaker highlights Jesus as our "Wonderful Counselor," offering divine guidance amidst life's challenges. Explore the powerful historical context of King Ahaz's fear-driven decisions and contrast it with the faith of Hezekiah, leading to miraculous divine intervention.

Learn how Jesus' teachings emphasize love and heart-level obedience, urging us to trust His supernatural wisdom and presence in our daily lives. As we enter the Advent season, be inspired to invite Jesus into every aspect of your life, reflecting His love and light to those around you. Join us for this compelling message of faith, transformation, and hope.
