Welcome to the FPC Advent Podcast, where Pastor Doug and Pastor Kerrie spend a few minutes wondering about God's presence in Advent scriptures, as read by people from our community. We invite you to listen and reflect with us.
Today's scripture is read by Steve Thames. Steve also joins Doug and Kerrie in reflection for today's passage.
Isaiah 11:1-5
A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear; but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins.
