FURTHER UP & FURTHER IN

 
Further Up & Further In is an opportunity to immerse ourselves in God’s Word as we prepare our hearts and minds for this Sunday’s message. In addition to our website, we invite you to visit us on Instagram, where we share more about how God is moving and speaking to our church family.

Isaiah 12:2 | Advent of Joy

  1. 1. Why does King Hezekiah tell Isaiah the prophet in Isaiah 37:3, “This is a day of distress”? Think of a time when you felt powerless, weak, vulnerable, rejected.

2. Isaiah, whose name means God has saved, is known as the Christmas Prophet because of his emphasis on the first Coming of Christ. Where does this man's song of joy come from in Isaiah 12:2?

3. Try to begin each day this week with some soft lighting to brighten the mood. Then sing out loud the first verse of this famed Christmas carol: 

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing  

See you Sunday!
Pastor Robert
