## Resource

Man can live about 40 days without food, about three days without water, and about eight minutes without air, but man cannot live a second without hope. Our world is filled with hopelessness. It burdens my heart to think about how many people walk through the doors of LBC each week in a state of hopelessness. A business executive who has let the pursuit of worldly success ruin her life and lead her down a path of destruction. A father who has lost his job and feels embarrassed and humiliated. A man or woman who has received a devastating health diagnosis. My prayer is that as they arrive here at LBC, they would begin to find hope. Not a hope that is found in a program or even a payment but a hope that is found in the person of Jesus Christ. Biblical hope comes from a divine intervention. God Himself entering into time and space and history to save us from our dark and sinful condition. Isaiah 9 reminds us of that hope. Isaiah 9 is Isaiah’s way of saying, “Keep your fork!” The story isn’t over. The best is yet to come. Hope is on the way! I pray you will make plans today to join us for worship this weekend as we examine the hope of Christmas in a prophecy made 700 years in advance of Christ’s birth. “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” — Isaiah 9:6 In Christ, Pastor Chad
