"Only Jesus Can Be the Messiah: Who was the one pierced for our transgressions, and crushed for our iniquities? (Isa. 53:5) Upon whom did the Lord lay the iniquity of all mankind? ( Isa. 53: 6) Who was assigned a grave with criminals but ended up in a rich man's tomb?

Peter has been preparing us for enduring opposition from a scornful world, and he wants believers in Christ to learn how to live godly and honourable lives in the midst of opposition. He wants us to flourish as disciples of Christ, pursuing godliness and fruitfulness in Christ, even as the world closes in about us and the days darken. To help us and equip us in this, he sets before us powerful reasons and motivators to live godly lives.

Sermon Overview

Scripture Reference: Isaiah 40:28-31

Do you ever feel there’s too much to do and not enough time to do it?

Many of us are emotionally fatigued, physically drained, and spiritually defeated; and the reason is stress. Stress is the gap between the demands placed upon us and our ability to meet those demands.

It’s not a sin to be stressed, but it is a sin to reject the help given to you to relieve your stress. God offers His insurmountable strength to us so that we may learn how to handle stress.

Isaiah 40:31 says, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.”

God will help us fly in the rigors of life.

A mother eagle teaches her eaglets to fly by making the nest uncomfortable. In the same way, God lovingly nudges us to the edge of our comfort zone, so that we may learn to fly.

God will teach us to run in the rush of life.

There’s enough time every day to do everything God wants you to do; sometimes we have to run to get it done. We need to run like an athlete, trusting God to sustain us, so that we will not grow weary.

God will aid us as we walk in the routines of life.

Our greatest need is day-by-day faithfulness in the little things, steadily walking day by day in the regular humdrum times of life.

Adrian Rogers says, “Do you know what victory is? It is all day, every day, hot days, cold days, dull days, bright days, good days, bad days, walking the Christian life.”

What does waiting upon God do for us?

In times of adversity, we soar like an eagle.

In times of opportunity, we run like an athlete.

And in times of necessity, we keep walking day by day.

Apply it to your life

If you believe in the promises of God, you must wait upon Him. What does that mean, practically?

Long for Him daily

Listen to Him in your quiet time

Look to Him for your every need

Live for Him, dedicating your life to the service of the Lord.

Spend some time waiting on the Lord today. Let His Word be your strength in times of stress.

It's easy to speak of faith when the threat is still distant—but what happens when it's at your door? In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld examines one of Scripture's most dramatic moments: the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem under King Hezekiah. With all fortified cities fallen and a mocking enemy proclaiming their God is powerless, Hezekiah faces the ultimate test. Through Isaiah's prophetic word and Hezekiah's prayer for God's glory, we witness how the Holy One of Israel defends His people in their darkest hour.

The Grand Vision: God's Story Through Isaiah: Isaiah is the second-most quoted book in the New Testament, yet many Christians have never studied it deeply. In this 10-message series, Dr. John guides listeners through this essential prophetic book, exploring Isaiah's 50-year ministry during one of Israel's most turbulent periods. From temple visions to confrontations with kings, from oracles against nations to prophecies of the coming Messiah, Isaiah reveals God's sovereignty over all history and His plan for the world through Jesus Christ.
