Comfort, Comfort

Comfort, Comfort #5, Part 2

December 20, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Isaiah 40:12–31

What does it mean to “wait on the Lord”? And how does the need for comfort, a serious need for comfort, coexist with an admonition to “wait on the Lord? The greater the need for comfort, the greater the urgency, right? Isaiah addresses this for us.

Comfort, Comfort #5, Part 1

December 19, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Isaiah 40:12–31

If a friend describes to you something that you’ve never seen, there is a risk that the mental image created won’t match the actual object. Isaiah helps us pursue comfort by challenging us to check the image of the almighty God that we hold. Is it even heading in the right direction? Or is it tragically too small?

Comfort, Comfort #4

December 18, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Isaiah 40:9–11

It’s so easy to draw a line between power on one side, and tenderness on the other. So how do we reconcile both of those qualities in perfect presentation, combined into one? Isaiah presents the comfort found in digging deep into the sovereignty of God.

Comfort, Comfort #3

December 17, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Isaiah 40:6–8

There is great value in community, being with people who understand and care. But is that the primary source of comfort? Does God work primarily through others? How does that work for the lonely or isolated? We continue our pursuit of Comfort from the book of Isaiah.

Comfort, Comfort #2

December 16, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Isaiah 40:3–5

Comfort is coming, but is there a call for us to prepare for that provision? Is comfort a something we wait for, or pursue? Are we to ignore our circumstances, or is there a different mindset to adopt during hard times? We’ll look at this question today.

Comfort, Comfort #1

December 13, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Isaiah 40:1–2

When a word appears twice consecutively in the Bible, it’s meant to emphasize that word. In the Old Testament, God’s people have just been told they’re going into exile. And yet, the prophet Isaiah says “It’s going to be okay.” The Word of God raises us above our circumstances, both then and now. Comfort, comfort.
