“The Lord himself will give you the sign.” (Isaiah 7:17, NLT)
In the time of Isaiah, the people of God were in need of hope for better things to come. Fortunately for them, and for all the world, God had a plan in mind to rescue not only his people, but all who call upon the name of the Lord. To all peoples in darkness came a promise of a great Light coming.
Signs of the Season is an Advent sermon series that considers some of the key promises made by the prophet Isaiah concerning the coming of Immanuel, the hope of all the nations, and the signs associated with his arrival and work.
