Christmas Day Message from Pastor Richard van Lieshout
Isaiah 7:14
Stories of how a gospel motivation towards justice is having an impact on the lives of people through a fair trade coffee business. A challenge to putting our faith into action in the real world
Isaiah 58:6-9
Isaiah 43:1-21.
2018 was a year of many highs and lows for so many people, and if we dwell on it for too long, we may miss what God is doing now.
Despair is a crushing emotion. What do you do when you’e stuck in Babylon and can’t see beyond the barbed wire of your situation? Where do God’s people look when they are tired of trusting God’s promises that are not yet fulfilled? The only way to shift your perspective is to see your circumstances through God’s eyes not your own. Isaiah wants to show us our world through God’s eyes. He will thunder: God has the credentials to keep his promises. Will you admit your weakness? Will you wait with the eager expectancy of a child? If you do God will share his strength with you and lift your perspective in the most profound way!
The final part in our “Who are you, LORD?” series focussing on the incommunicable attributes of God. Isaiah 6:1-9
Isaiah 9:6 “For a child is born to us, A son is given to us; And the government Is upon His shoulder; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”
For to us a child is born to us a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor Mighty God Everlasting Father Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on Davids throne and over his kingdom establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. – Isaiah 9:6-7
Missions Sunday 2012: In response to his vision of God high and exalted and in response to the grace of God in removing his sin Isaiah responds to Gods invitation to go with the words Here am I! Send me!. (Isaiah 6:1-8).
How can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching. And how are they to preach unless they are sent? (Romans 10:14-15).
God still holds out the invitation: Whom shall i send and who will go for us?. Will you accept his invitation to go?
Isaiah the prophet who proclaimed the Good News (Isaiah 9:1-7)
Imitating the Servant of the Lord (Isaiah 50: 4-9)
