Pastor Jeff shares a few more thoughts from the text on Sunday in the context of Holy Week.

Isaiah has shown us how the Servant of the Lord would be crushed and killed – because of the sins of God's people. But the point is not to berate or shame God's people; though we are guilty and our sins are shameful, God wants us to know us to know even more restoration, confidence, and hope in Him. Join us as we see “The Joy of the Servant’s People” from Isaiah 54:1-8.

Pastor Joey walks us through application of his sermon by way of sermon discussion questions.

At the end of it all, was it worth it? For the Servant, the answer is a resounding “yes!” Even though he was stricken, smitten, afflicted, pierced, crushed, punished, and wounded, Isaiah 53:10-12 teaches us that the Servant was satisfied with what saving his people cost him. Join us as we read Isaiah 53:10-12 together and see “The Satisfied Servant.”

Pastor Joey shares what he learned while prepping his latest sermon and gives us a few thoughts to walk away with.

We rounded the corner on this five-part Servant Song, reading how Jesus, the Servant, stepped in front of us to take the wounding that brings us healing.

We’re continuing our march toward Easter focusing on the Isaiah 53:7-9, where we discover that Jesus was no passive participant in God’s plan to rescue the world. He willingly submitted himself to God’s plan, exchanging our rebellious wills for his submissive will. Join us for “Willing Submission” as we find rest for our rebellions in Jesus’s submission.

Article: Growing My Faith in the Face of Death by Timothy Keller

The centerpiece and middle part of the five-part Servant Song that is Isaiah 52:13-53:12 brings to the foreground the Servant’s suffering. He was indeed characterized by grief and sorrow, as 53:3 taught, but those sorrows were not his own: they were ours, which he lifted off of us and placed on himself. Carrying our sins and sorrows made him our substitute, the one who suffered on our behalf, the one whose suffering saved us and brought us peace.

Join us as we dive into “Substitute Suffering” from Isaiah 53:4-6 and see how all of our griefs, all of our sins, and all of our defects are healed at the cross of Jesus Christ.
