Pierced for our transgressions, Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12
What a privilege we have to be able to sing hymns and songs that help us to focus on the Lord Jesus. The passage we're looking at today is a song, very carefully structured in five parts. It's about a servant. Who is this servant? The good news is that the Bible tells us about this servant... It's Jesus! It's all about Jesus and most especially His death on the Cross. This is the passage Philip started with when explaining the Gospel to the Ethiopian official.
The Story-Messianic Psalms
God's word equips people; it gives accountability, encouragement and strengthens faith.
Epicenter: Israel Part 3
Prophetically speaking, Israel makes up about 100% of all biblical prophecies and that is what I want to show us today. I want to show us the top 10 prophecies concerning Israel since May 14, 1948 and what this means to us today.
See, I am doing a new thing - Isaiah 43:14-44:5
Here we are in Isaiah – a book of prophecy – spoken sermons written down. The prophets spoke out God’s word; they were given insight into the future which would help people live correctly in the now. Isaiah spoke into a specific situation to the south/Judah in 8th C BC – as they contemplated being overtaken by Babylon. They had seen the northern tribes seized by Assyria, now Babylon was the world’s threat. The first verse of the book helps us see the history: “The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, Kings of Judah.” Isaiah’s vision came during the reigns of these particular Kings of Judah – see diagram. He speaks to Judah and its capital Jerusalem - the people of God in the slightly-more-faithful Southern kingdom. Prophecy works as a series of mountain peaks. As you walk towards the first hill, you think you’re at the top – and then ahead of you, you see the second peak. So we have unfolding history. This hopefu prophecy comes at a bleak point in Judah’s history – about to be taken out of the land, for the tedium of their worship; the pattern of a history of failure. Yet God will pour out his Spirit on their seed. Jesus would plead with us today to be filled with his Spirit, to be dependent on him, to never lose sight that he is the God of new things. Here then is the gospel; first peak: Babylonian’s end. 2nd peak: God will do a new thing & return them to the land. 3rd peak: God will forgive sins and pour out his Spirit on all peoples. And where are we? – well we ought to be at the penulatimate peak. Are you there yet?
Epicenter: Israel Part 2
Why is there so much hatred toward Israel? Why has Israel been the epicenter throughout the centuries of wars and conflicts? Why is Israel always being threatened by the Arab world? Why is this tiny nation, no larger than the population of the greater Dallas-Ft.Worth Metroplex and about the land size of New Jersey, such a thorn in the flesh of the Middle East? Should what happens to Israel concern us as a nation, as a church, as an individual?
Worship:Wild, Weird or Wonderful

Eschatology - introducing historical background...
We are continuing to build a foundation to more properly understand eschatology. This week we began to look some at the historical background of Revelation in particular. Would it surprise you if a document exists that sheds a great amount of insight into some of the pressures facing the seven churches of Asia Minor?
