"The Promised King: Jesus Is the Righteous Branch" (Jeremiah 23:1-8)

Authority is so easily abused. Everyone from bosses to politicians to even pastors let us down. Is there any hope for a truly just ruler? Our Advent sermon series is looking at the Old Testament promises (and images) of Jesus' coming. Last week we saw that Jesus is the seed of the woman who crushes the serpent and wins our salvation. This week, we'll consider how Jesus fulfills the promise of a righteous King on David's throne.
