Light to the Nations

As the prophet Isaiah expresses discouragement and fear, the Lord speaks four comforting promises to Him (and to us): 1) you have a purpose; 2) you have power; 3) you will reach people and 4) you will have peace forever.

The Servant King

God appointed and anointed Cyrus, calling him by name, equipping him for specific tasks and empowering him to success in them. We see God’s creative generosity all around us in people (both believers and non-believers) God appoints and anoints to serve and assist us.

Fearless Witnesses

Isaiah 43 gives us four reasons not to be afraid. 

The Incomparable God

The Lord is the everlasting God!” Come be reminded of God’s absolute uniqueness: the One who is sovereign in power, supreme in wisdom and all-surpassing in glory!

Servant of Justice

As God’s chosen and cherished children – as His servants – we must 1) love the hurting; 2) teach His Word and; 3) work for justice. Let’s not grow tired or discouraged – let’s simply keep serving the Lord!

The Servant of the Lord

Isaiah 40:1-11
In the first part of Isaiah 40 we see three messages the Servant is committed to preach.

The Conquering King

Matthew 28 shows us three ways we can and should respond to the resurrection of Jesus: 1) be amazed; 2) be confident and; 3) be bold – Jesus really did rise from the dead!

The Righteous One - Matthew 26:57-66

The Soil of the Heart

In Matthew 13, in the Parable of the Soils, Jesus invites us to do a deep-dive diagnosis of our hearts.

Humility - Philippians 2:1-11

Humility is the 13th and final character perfection of our Lord Jesus. Though He literally deserved everything in terms of honor, love and service Jesus laid down all of His rights and served us to the ultimate degree.
