Hope refreshed
Isaiah 42.1-9

Isaiah prophesies to those in exile about God’s chosen servant, who will bring justice, light and freedom from captivity to the nations.

We explore the hope that God gave to all people in his Son, Jesus, whose baptism we mark today, and how we might share God’s hope with those who are in desperate need of it.
