Fierce Grace

Return of the King - Part 8

May 15, 2022 • Ben Kimmell • Isaiah 48

Give

In Isaiah 48 we see the motivation for God to rescue His people is the demonstration, the defense, and the display of His own glory. God will act for our good because in doing so He will display His glory. Christians often have this tendency to make everything in this world, even Christian faith, all about themselves. But what God is going to show us is that His world and His gospel are all about Him. God and His glory are the ground, the glue, the motivation, and inspiration for the very existence of this world and the purpose of our lives.

In this message, Pastor Ben challenges us all to see our lives in light of God’s glory, and calls us to courageous obedience despite our own history of failures.

The Ultimate Accomplishment

June 26, 2022 • Ben Kimmell • Isaiah 55

Isaiah 55 completes the invitation to celebrate the achievement of God's Servant. In it, we are invited to enter into the Servant's saving work by repenting of our sins and returning to I AM. In this message, Pastor Ben calls hearers to turn from their rebellion against God and trust in Christ for the forgiveness of sins and receive the free gift of eternal life.

Isaiah's Apocalypse

June 12, 2022 • Ben Kimmell • Isaiah 52:13—53:12

Isaiah 52.13-53.12 is the moment to which the Poet has been building since chapter 40. All the great themes of liberation and rescue, YHWH's arm, and the Mysterious Servant--all of them converge here in the revelation of God's Servant as it paints a breathtaking picture of Jesus of Nazareth--crucified and risen, now exalted to the place of highest honor and authority over the cosmos. In this message, Pastor Ben highlights the reality of this revelation to inspire in us renewed adoration of Christ and motivate fresh obedience to Christ by contemplating the atoning sacrifice of God’s Servant, King Jesus.

Good News!

June 5, 2022 • Ben Kimmell • Isaiah 51:9—52:12

The believing remnant of Israel's exiles cry out to God to fulfill his promise of deliverance. And in return, God promises them rescue from exile and deliverance from sin. In this message, Pastor Ben shows us how God's rescue of Israel will lead to worldwide gospel celebration.
