In his sermon on Isaiah 9, Stephen Davey explains how God shines hope into a world overwhelmed by darkness, anguish, and confusion through the promise of the Messiah. Isaiah foretells that light would dawn in Galilee, a prophecy fulfilled centuries later in Jesus Christ’s ministry, revealing God’s plan to bring salvation to the most afflicted places first. Davey highlights the five prophetic names of the Messiah—Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace—as descriptions of Christ’s divine nature, authority, and care. These names reveal Jesus as fully God, the source of perfect wisdom, eternal security, and lasting peace with God. Davey concludes that while global peace awaits Christ’s future reign, believers today can experience His peace by placing every burden and circumstance on the shoulders of the Prince of Peace.
