Sally Hillsdon (who with her husband Phil leads King’s Church Darlington), goes a little bit off piste today and takes us through Isaiah 40:3-5; the voice of one calling in the wilderness, preparing the way of the Lord. How does that fit with our current series on John? This prophetic passage from Isaiah not only describes the preparation for the visit of a king, but also looked forward to John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness to prepare for Jesus the Messiah. It doesn’t quite fit with the rest of our series but this was a challenging and emotional message from Sally.
