Hope Out Of Darkness

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

At Cadillac Mountain, dawn hits that ridge before the rest of the country. Isaiah 9 speaks to a people in predawn darkness and promises a light that breaks in. Advent says that light has a name, Jesus, and His coming turns yokes into freedom, fear into joy, and night into morning.

"Finding God's Strength" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 15, 2014

His ministry had its share of highs and lows but this was definitely one of his finer moments. In the background, Jesus had just gone through ...read more
