Even though, one could interpret this passage as something of a rapid-fire list of admonitions as Paul begins to conclude his letter, I do think there is a correlation in these admonitions to the overriding theme of this letter—joy!

I want to talk to us about our continued pursuit to know Christ, to know the power of His resurrection, to pursue Him more. Even if we think we are pursuing Christ, here is one of the areas of life that call all of us. Even if we are pursuing Him, we...

As we begin this New Year, our focus will be to Pursue Christ. We begin to add to that central idea, ideas that are rooted in the pursuit of Christ. Today, here is the challenge: Pursue unity in the church!

Paul challenges us with at least three commitments that should be part of every believer’s life. In essence, we need to understand that if we are going to have joy we need to be committed to the things of Christ. For Paul, that meant a commitment to...

With days to go in 2018, it seems appropriate to worship to give thanks to God for the blessings and benefits of 2018 while at the same time ask His blessing and favor upon the coming year. We are blessed to have not only teaching on the subject of...

We live in a world looking for peace. Why can we be certain that we can find peace in Jesus? That’s part of the message of Christmas, is it not? Well, for starters, peace was the message of the angels the night that Jesus was born.

I am amazed and confirmed in my faith by the fact that Isaiah could point to the advent of Christ 700 + years before His birth. Christmas is the reminder that God is our Wonderful Counselor, our Mighty God, our Eternal Father, and our Prince of Peace...

Christmas is the reminder that God is our Wonderful Counselor, our Mighty God, our Eternal Father, and our Prince of Peace. Today, we examine specifically God as our Mighty God. Now, there are numerous examples in the Bible, throughout history, and in...

We return today to Isaiah 8 and 9 for background, then highlight a wonderful verse that will serve as a launch point for us to re-examine one of the most powerful Christmas texts that is in the Bible. Another preacher (James Merritt) called this verse...

Two weeks ago, we considered Isaiah 6:1-8, but today we consider 9-13. This chapter contains Isiah’s call. We usually stop at verse 8 and that is unfortunate, because there is an important lesson about God’s call that we need to see in verses 9-13. It...

Early on in my ministry here, I shared with you a word from Psalm 71 that I believed should direct our ministry. It has been a while since we have visited that text, so today presents the perfect day to do that.

I want us to consider specific challenges that we encounter in the middle of a crisis. Today the challenge to consider is “The Challenge to Worship.” That is—sometimes the hardest times to worship is in the middle of a crisis. This is the time when we...

In my lifetime, Billy Graham is the greatest evangelist. Only eternity will reveal the numbers of people in heaven as a direct result of his crusade ministry. My purposes today is not to eulogize the life of Billy Graham, but in honor of his coming...

We can summarize this message of comfort with these broad ideas. We find our comfort in who God is, what God is doing, and today, we add to that, “What God will do.”

This past summer after Vacation Bible School, several people asked me to consider sharing this message on a Sunday morning, so here we are.

Last week, we learned that we can be comforted by “Who God is.” Today, I want you to see that we can be comforted by “What God is doing.”

Our text today is at the point of a major transition in the compilation of Isaiah’s messages. For simple purposes, we can say that the passages of God’s judgment and warning are contained in chapters 1-39, and the passages of God’s grace or comfort...

The subject of our message today is the third crisis—one that scholars refer to as the Sennacherib Crisis. Sennacherib was the king of Assyria, now the threat to Judah. This occurred during the time of Hezekiah whose story we will come to at the end...

Many commentators outline the messages of Isaiah around three major crises that happened during his lifetime. The first crisis is described in chapter 7. We considered that crisis last time. The subject of our message today is the second crisis, which...
