God is involved in all history and He is sovereign, He has a purpose for all that happens (Isaiah 14:26-27). And in the midst of judgement shines hope. Isaiah shares a powerful vision of God’s coming kingdom. God will prevail.

Unexpected Christmas – Pt.2
The wisemen of the Christmas story is a bit unexpected. What was neat is they enter the story with the desire to worship the new King Jesus, that is all. Where king Herod desired to kill Jesus. We need to dethrone the “mini-king” Herod in our hearts and worship Jesus just because of who He is.
