Today on Summit Life with JD Greer.

The root of all of our problems is separation from God.

And all of our earthly problems ultimately stem back to that one.

Now, when I say that, I don't mean that whatever problem you're going through now

is the punishment that God is giving you for some specific sin that you committed.

I'm simply saying that if God were to take away all our problems

without fixing the real problem, our separation from God,

then ultimately we just create a bunch of new problems.

Welcome to Summit Life, the Bible Teaching Ministry of Pastor and Theologian JD Greer.

I'm your host, Molly Vitavitch.

You know, the Old Testament promise of a Savior who wouldn't arrive for 700 years

might not have been a great comfort to the army that received the prophecy in Isaiah.

But God knew what they needed was a Messiah who would save them.

And it's what our world today still needs.

Today Pastor JD unpacks the promise of Isaiah 9 from our new teaching series

called Hope Has a Name.

And he'll be showing us how we should approach this wonderful counselor

who brings light to our darkness and gives us the gift of himself.

We are headed to the Old Testament for this most important Christmas teaching.

So grab your Bible and let's join Pastor JD.

So let me begin this Christmas message series with a little Christmas survey

at all campuses.
