 Sermon on 12/7/25 by Pastor Todd Sapp 

In a world filled with global conflict and personal friction, what is the ultimate source of hope? This message dives into the powerful Christmas prophecy in Isaiah 9:1-7 to confirm that God's promise of peace is a done deal, regardless of the chaos surrounding us.

We'll unpack why we can declare "Peace at Last" through the coming Messiah:

  1. God's Promise is a Done Deal: Isaiah speaks of future light and joy ("have seen a great light," "have increased its joy") in the present tense, assuring us that when God promises peace, it is guaranteed.
  2. God Shoulders the Responsibility: The coming Messiah is the one upon whose broad shoulders "the government shall be upon." Learn to cast all your anxieties, fears, and regrets onto Jesus because He is the Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God who cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
  3. God's Peace is Forever: The increase of His government and "of peace there will be no end." Jesus’s rule is eternal and His peace is ever-growing, continuing to expand in our lives now and into a glorious eternity.

Discover how to experience perfect peace by keeping your mind steadfast on Christ, the Prince of Peace.
