For our Advent sermon series, we’ll focus on the names for Jesus provided in a prophetic voice in Isaiah 9:6. We’ll discuss how Jesus lived up to these names and explore what they meant to the early readers and how they can still give us hope today.

Isaiah 9:2-7 is a well-known oracle that uses four royal titles that help us explain the very nature and role of Jesus. Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace are the royal titles that we will focus on during this season of Advent, considering how Jesus fulfilled these royal expectations. This week we will consider Jesus as "Mighty God." Since we as the church have been entrusted with the power of God, it is important that we understand how Jesus used this power and more importantly how we should understand this power that has been entrusted to us.
