All Things New - Isaiah 65-66

At the end of Isaiah we are given one last glimpse into Zion, the new heavens and the new earth.

Christ Our Redeemer - Isaiah 59:1-21

From Isaiah 59 we see that Christ has come to buy us back from our bondage to sin. Only he is able to stand as our redeemer.

The Mission of God - Isaiah 56:1-8

In Isaiah 56 we're reminded that God's redemptive plan extends to all peoples.

Religion or Revival? - Isaiah 58

Revival is when God comes down to make himself overwhelmingly real to us. But the message of Isaiah 58 is that God will only awaken us as we truly humble ourselves, acknowledge our need and willingly spend ourselves in the needs of others.

Awakening to God - Isaiah 57:14-15; Matthew 5:3-6

Christianity is about the awakening of your soul to God. We learn about true revival from Isaiah the Prophet in Isaiah 57.

An Invitation for All - Isaiah 55

From Isaiah 55, we see that humanity is offered an endless supply of feasts, but only one will truly satisfy. God's invitation is for us to come to His table freely offered to those in need, where we will find forgiveness, lasting satisfaction and joy.

My Servant Will Rise - Isaiah 53:10-12

From Isaiah 53:10-12 we see three ways that the resurrection of Jesus confirms the miracle of the gospel.

Everyone Needs a Substitute - Isaiah 53:4-6

From Isaiah 53:4-6 we see one of the major themes of the gospel—substitution. The suffering servant stands in our place; he heals our deepest pain, endures our just penalty, and carries our guilt far away.

The Suffering Servant - Isaiah 52:13-53:6

In one of the most quoted sections of Isaiah we meet God's servant—one who will be highly exalted and given glory, but only after he endured great suffering. According to the early Christians, Jesus Christ was the suffering servant that Isaiah had promised over 700 years before his birth. In this message we will trace the gospel displayed in Isaiah 53.

The Lord Is My Song - Isaiah 12

Sharing from his own testimony in chapter 12, Isaiah joyfully proclaims that God is the beautiful music of salvation that has come alive in us.

Lessons Learned From 2020 - 1 Peter 1:6-7

Carey encourages us to remember the lessons learned from 2020

Multiply: the Story of the Church - Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1-16

One of the most natural, beautiful, and life-giving thing that the church ever does is to multiply. In Matt. 28:19-20, Matthew wants every disciple to feel the thrill and responsibility of the mission to make disciples. 

Finding Your Voice - Romans 10:14-17

Finding your voice is not just for pastors. Every single disciple of Jesus is called and empowered to voice the gospel. Here are five things that we learn about evangelism from Romans 10.

Engaging Our Culture with the Gospel - Acts 17:16-34

Rather than avoiding, assimilating, or attacking our culture, we are reminded from Acts 17 that we are to engage our culture with the Gospel.

Gospel Boldness - Acts 4:13-22

Although Peter and John had no formal training, they spoke with passion and conviction when they were brought before the Jewish leaders in Acts 4.  We learn that gospel boldness is not about swagger or arrogance and overconfidence, rather it is a freedom to speak, combined with a growing understanding of the gospel. The person who has tasted the healing power of God cannot help but speak about what they have seen and heard!

Be Reconciled to God! - 2 Corinthians 5:17-6:2

Our salvation is all the work of God for us through Christ, but Paul reminds us at the end of 2 Corinthians 5, that everyone who has experienced the reconciling power of God is now an ambassador of the grace of God.

Pastor Xavier Torrado, from Redeeming Grace Church and our mission partner in Puerto Rico, points us to three important marks for the Christian Life from Acts 20.

Overcoming Fear - 2 Corinthians 5:11-17

Fear can keep us from acting on the God-given desire to tell others about Jesus Christ.  In 2 Corinthians 5, we learn that the love of Christ is the key to overcoming fear in gospel conversations.

Covenant Renewal and the Cost of Discipleship - Luke 14:25-33

On Covenant Renewal Sunday we learn from Luke 14 that Jesus makes a radical call to those who will follow him. God's grace is absolutely and amazingly free, but it is not cheap, and it will cost you something.
