Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Matt Ulmer, pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Bishop, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 64:1-9. Although Isaiah lived and preached over one hundred years before the Babylonian exile, the second part of his book speaks prophetically to Judean exiles. This text is a portion of a prayer that the prophet leads the exiles to offer to God, asking Him to come down with His aid as He had done in the days of the Exodus. Those who would set themselves up as the LORD’s enemies will receive His coming as condemnation, but those who approach the LORD with confession and repentance receive His coming as salvation. The people pray in such confession, calling upon the LORD knowing that even their righteous deeds are polluted. Yet they trust in the LORD as their Father because He has given them a Brother, Jesus Christ. In Jesus, the LORD has come down to reign for the salvation of sinners. “Advent with the Prophets” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Old Testament readings appoin
