December 11, 2024 – The Tree of Promise

The Tree of Promise

In the midst of life’s struggles and brokenness, we often feel like barren stumps—cut off, lifeless, and without hope. Yet, God promises new life where we see only devastation. Today, Isaiah’s vision invites us to marvel at the “Tree of Promise,” a tender shoot springing forth from what seemed dead. This promise finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who brings hope to the hopeless and peace that transforms our lives. As we gather, let your hearts be uplifted by the assurance that in Christ, God is always at work, bringing life, restoration, and eternal peace.

Sermon Text: Isaiah 11:1-10
