Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast! Pastor Matt begins this sermon with a brief history of what is going on when Isaiah writes today's passage and why Isaiah calls King Ahaz a stump. Have you ever felt "Stump-ish?" Have things ever not gone how you planned or as fruitful as you'd like? Do you ever fell cut off from that which was once thriving? Isaiah says a ruler is coming who will promote peace and uplift those in need. God helps us re-center our vision onto a Holy and good leader, building a kingdom of peace in our midst.
