Unrivaled Peace, Joy, and Comfort
Dealing with uncertainty or challenging circumstances that are beyond our ability to control can be so difficult. We want to know where the provision is going to come from. We want to know if things are going to turn out the way we hope or expect. We want to know if God is going to come through.
The fact is that there will be times when we don’t know how God will provide. Plans will fall through. People will disappoint us. Things will go wrong. There will be seasons of uncertainty. What then?
Fortunately, the uncertainty we face is only apparent uncertainty. Even if things seem uncertain to us, our future and the reason for our hope are absolutely certain to God. You can experience an unrivaled sense of peace, joy, and comfort, even in the darkest of times.

This Week's Sermon: "A New Beginning"
Every four years American voters have to weigh and evaluate a new array of grandiose promises made by candidates aspiring to the office of President. Those with a sense of history will be familiar with some of the broken promises made in these campaigns, but the larger question is: Why do we continue to believe these promises in the first place?
Throughout history people have sought the perfect society and the perfect government to rule it. The yearning for this explains why people so consistently believe new promises of a grand vision for the government or for society. But the amazing promises found in the book of Isaiah about the future for God’s people are far more amazing, and certainly more eternal, than all of the governmental promises in history.
Join us this week as we conclude our message series in Isaiah and examine some of these promises for our future more closely, as well as the difference they make for our present lives.
