Fear or Faith

The sermon explores the crisis faced by King Ahaz and the nation of Judah when they were threatened by neighboring armies and the looming superpower of Assyria. In their fear, they had to decide where to place their trust—in military alliances, political power, or in God alone. Isaiah's prophecy points forward to Jesus, who would come as Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. This ancient struggle mirrors our own today as we navigate global uncertainty, personal hardships, and the constant noise of fearful voices around us. The message challenges us to examine where we place our trust when life feels out of control and reminds us that Jesus alone can overcome our deepest fears.
