Do you ever feel that, despite your efforts, it feels like you have accomplished nothing? Isaiah shares his struggle with "laboring in vain," feeling like his work brought no results among God's scattered people. But here comes the beautiful turning point—God expands the mission beyond what Isaiah ever imagined, declaring that restoring just one group seemed too small a task for the light He planned to shine. Through Isaiah's story, we discover how God transforms our disappointments into something far greater than we ever dreamed possible. See you Sunday!

Last week, we discovered how God called His people to shine as a beacon of light for all nations, guided by the promised Light of Christ. In this week's sermon, "A Light to the Nations," we will dig deeper and define what it means to carry that light as God's servants in our daily lives. The prophet Isaiah challenges us to examine our lives: Do we follow the one true God who calls us to shine His light everywhere, or have we allowed other things to take His place in our hearts?

God's original promise to Abraham didn't stop with one group of people—it always reached toward every nation and every person. Join us as we discover how the New Covenant in Jesus Christ empowers us to become the light-bearers God created us to be.

Bridging the season between Advent and Lent, our upcoming sermon series. “From Law & Prophets to Light” explores the prophetic promises fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who came as the Light of the World to complete all that the Law and Prophets foretold. Through the words of Isaiah, the Psalms of David, and the covenant story of Moses, we discover how God's people have always been called to be beacons of light—first as a remnant returning from exile, and now as modern Christians carrying Christ's light into the world. Join us from January 4th through February 15th as we trace God's faithfulness from the old covenant through the new covenant established in Christ.

This Sunday, Rev. Val Stewart leads us in worship as we wait for the beginning of a new chapter with our new Senior Pastor, Rev. Adam Spore. Change can be hard, but it’s also how God helps us grow and become more like Jesus. Just like the disciples were sent to serve, each of us is also called to be part of God’s mission in this church. Pastor Adam has been chosen to lead us, but we are all ministers together, working as one church family. Celebrate with us as we follow God into a new and exciting season at FUMC Waxahachie.
