John 3:16
John 1:1

Matthew 3:16
Psalm 16

Isaiah 10:33 - 11:9

Hope is important
It allows us to get up when we're knocked down. We have a strong, robust foundation in our hope.

10:33, 34
The forest was no threat at all.
One day our fears will disappear.

All sorts of problems.

This is the hope we have.

God has not forgotten us.
We have a strong and powerful God.

Isaiah's stump - the stump of Jesse.
11:1

God's judgement had chopped down the tree.

A new shoot - the baby Jesus.

The Messiah - God's promise
- To bring Salvation and hope to people.
- A descendent of David will rule forever.

A fallen world.
- Experience of loss
- Sin causes loss - the loss of fellowship with God.

Genesis 3
Disobedience and Sin.

God's restoration plan.
Jesus restores our relationship with God.

A picture of peace.
11:6 - 9

All our hopes come together in Jesus.
