PROF DION FORSTER - Finding Hope in Advent: How to See God’s Light in Life's Darkest Stumps

This Advent reflection focuses on the theme of hope, moving beyond naive optimism to a deep trust in God’s promises. The discussion centers on two key scriptures: Isaiah 11:1-2, where a shoot emerges from the "stump of Jesse," symbolizing God bringing new life from apparent ruin, and Luke 1:78-79, which describes Jesus as the "dawn from on high" breaking into darkness.
