Sermons on Isaiah (Page 2)

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord Brings Good News

Today we begin our new series looking at Isaiah 61. Isaiah prophecies to Israel in verse 1 that one will come who can say: “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me” and Chris uses that as the overarching title of the new series. This week he looks in depth at the promises made in verse 1 that the Spirit will allow the promised servant to proclaim good news, bind the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom to the captives and release prisoners from their darkness. Jesus is the ultimate fulfilment of this prophecy, and he delegates his power to us so that we also may be able to fulfil the prophecy. What a gift!

Karen leads the rest of the service as we share communion together and pray for the various situations around the world that badly need God’s intervention. Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.

Beauty for Ashes

Stephanie spoke on Isaiah 61, highlighting God’s ‘big plan’ to bring healing and restoration to mankind through Jesus Christ. Using personal testimony, Stephanie reflected on God’s offer of ‘beauty for ashes’ (v3), and shared how God used that promise to bring His healing into the deep seated heartache and loss she had experienced against her family.
