Isaiah 49:1-7 - Light to the Nations

Pastor Chris Jessee's sermon on Isaiah 49 explores the profound question of identity and purpose. Drawing from Isaiah 49:1-7, he reveals that our true identity is found in Christ, not in worldly pursuits. As God's chosen Servant, Jesus' mission was to bring salvation and restoration to the world. We are called to reflect His light and participate in His mission of reconciliation. This message encourages us to align our lives with God's kingdom values and to be conduits of His love and light to the world.
