God & Sinners Reconciled: Advent is About Comfort (Isaiah 9:1-7, 40:1-11)

Advent is a season of comfort because it offers us a foretaste of our final deliverance at Christ’s return.
Christ came to deliver us…
- From ourselves and Himself.
Isaiah 57:14-19 // Isaiah 53
- Out of physical and relational brokenness.
Isaiah 35:5-10 // Revelation 21:4
- From the darkness of evil powers and authorities both human and spiritual.
Isaiah 52:15 // Colossians 2:15
Romans 8:31-39
