We celebrate the arrival of Jesus, God’s promised Redeemer, each Christmas. However, the wonder of that event is often drowned out by the demands of culturally traditional celebrations, or dampened by a long slog through the “grayness” of any winter season.

Fortunately, Isaiah 9 reminds us that we were meant to be in awe of Jesus’ arrival as the long-promised “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, (and) Prince of Peace.” So, this year’s theme for Christmas at B4 is Wonder, and our Advent teaching series focuses on the awe-inspiring names given to Jesus by the prophet. This first message delves into “Wonder Counselor.”
