In this message, Pastor Mark explores Isaiah 11:1–10 and the kind of courageous, world-shaping hope God calls us to practice. Drawing on the powerful witness of Desmond Tutu during apartheid and Isaiah’s vision of justice, peace, and new creation, the sermon challenges us to resist despair, trust God’s promises, and live as people who believe the story isn’t over. Hope is not optimism or denial—it is faithful resistance that empowers us to work for justice, practice peace, and live toward God’s future even when the world seems unchanged.
