John 3:16
John 1:1

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

Disobedience and Sin.
God's restoration plan.
Jesus restores our relationship with God.
A picture of peace.
