When life gets hard, where do we run for rescue? Isaiah 30-32 shows us that we often run to the wrong things for what only God can provide.

What is your calling? Is it a role, a dream, a career, or relationships? We know that our calling defines us; it gives us purpose and drive. But are we building our calling on the Solid Rock, or on transient things?

One of our pitfalls is that we place our hope in things that change. The joys and delights of this life will grow dim, the glories and the achievements of this world will decay and so if your hope is in these things, you will know despair.

We need to find our hope in God because the ever-changing creature can only find rest in the unchanging Creator.

You may have heard it said, "If God weresmall enoughto beunderstood,Hewouldnotbebig enoughto beworshipped." God's word is clear that God is more than what our limited minds can comprehend. Psalm 145:3 says, "Great is theLord, and greatly to be praised, and hisgreatness is unsearchable."

Before the Lord takes us home, we remain here on earth to be part of what God is doing: advancing His kingdom. Are we activelyseeking opportunities to be part of this work?

Do you ever stop and marvel at God's character? At His nature? In this first sermon of our short series on the attributes of God, we explore the truth that God is incomparable. He needs nothing, yet He gives everything. As we reflect on who He is, may our hearts be stirred to praise and worship Him. As Isaiah 40:25 declares: "To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One."

Our final signpost in this series should not instil fear. Rather, Be Ready is a call to live in anticipation of the Lords return. As we wait, these signposts are meant to point both us and others to the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Isaiah 2829, God shines a light on the spiritual decay of His people, Israel. As Christs church today, we are challenged to examine our own spiritual vitality and consider the marks of a dying church in light of Gods Word.

Do you know if youre saved? Todays signpost reminds us that we need to be born again, theres no other way for use to enter the Kingdom of God.
