Today we unpack the third of four "servant songs" that appear in Isaiah. The Servant is described as having a tender, teachable, and obedient heart. It is also revealed that he is free from hopelessness, helplessness, and fear. He sets his face like flint to obey God's will and finish his work, even at great cost to himself. It has great implications for how we overcome the struggles we face today.
Passage: Isaiah 50:4-9 (ESV)

Isaiah 49 contains the second of the four “servant songs.” The latter half contains a grand vision of end times restoration. Yet in hearing this, the people of Israel interrupt the prophecy with cynicism because of their exiled condition. Have you ever felt forsaken and forgotten by the Lord? God uses the metaphor of a nursing mother and a cryptic picture of his palms being engraved to reassure his people that he has not forgotten them.
Passage: Isaiah 49:10-16

Jesus is described in Isaiah 42 as a servant who brings forth justice like a king without using the methods of a typical king. Learn what the Hebrew word for justice (mishpat) means and how Jesus, the Servant-King, brings forth justice to the nations in the here and now. A highly relevant message for the Church at large with its enmeshment in political parties and their divisive and harsh means of seeking justice. This message was inspired and adapted from a Tim Keller sermon titled "A Bruised Reed He Will Not Break."
Passage: Isaiah 42:1-4

As you grow older, what kind of story do you want to tell? Jesus promises that everything hidden will be revealed. Many people cover up and only tell people a polished version of their story. But this only puts us in a prison of insecurity and hypocrisy. God's grace and glory shines through most brightly when we tell our whole story. We are empowered with the agency to lead lives of courage and faith when we tell our whole story.
Passage: I Corinthians 15:9-10, Luke 12:1-2

Christian Lee (2024 Nov 10, Sunday, Storyline Church).
Our modern culture believes that freedom is not only good but we uphold it as the highest good. It's always been important but now it carries ultimate importance. It has become the baseline cultural narrative by which we filter and judge all other beliefs. But is this view of freedom helpful for our lives? Or is there a superior narrative we can live by?

Passage: John 10:10
-
Do you ever feel lost? Like you made a wrong turn, went the opposite direction, or missed the timing? You find yourself second guessing yourself. Sometimes we all feel lost and lose focus. In this message, discover three ways we can re-center ourselves on the simplicity of following Jesus to a place of clarity and peace: fix your eyes on him, let go of your nets, and immediate obedience.

Passage: Matthew 4:18-22 ESV
-
The apostle Peter teaches that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing about Christ's return. In the church, we will face scoffing. Satan uses scoffing to get us believing false storylines about God. How do lead holy and godly lives while we forgive, bless, love, and serve scoffers without turning cynical? Where do we get the power to overcome scoffers?

Passage: II Peter 3:1-14
-
The apostle Peter gives a spiritual PSA about false teachers. How do we stay alert while not falling into either fear or a fault-finding Pharisaic spirit? Pastor Christian teaches on the dangers false teachers present, how to spot them, the limits of their influence, the apostasy we can expect in the end times, and how to stay hopeful as persecution and fiery trials intensify.
