    The prophecy of Isaiah was more than just an abstract description of the coming Messiah; it tells us of the personal application of his titles.

    The passage in Isaiah 9: 6-7 is one of the spectacular prophecies given in the book of Isaiah about Messiah’s coming. I have read this passage many times, sung it, and heard it read. This week, however, two words have come alive in my spirit; two little words that change the whole perspective of ...read more

    The Magnificat is an incredible moment of worshiping God. This sermon identifies 6 things we need to do, not to worship Mary, but to worship LIKE Mary.
