Give

In the previous chapters, God has been challenging Israel about its own history of disobedience. He has been challenging the idols that the world worships. In the present text, God reveals that at the bottom of Israel’s current distress and devastation, there is the sin of idolatry from which YHWH, Israel’s God, will rescue them by His own powerful grace. In this message, Pastor Ben exposes the anatomy of idolatry for God’s people today. Here we will consider what idolatry is, and how it is still wrecking the world we live in today.

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.
