God CREATES a place where He will MEET with his People for their JOY.  His People rejected Him. Nonetheless, God binds Himself through PROMISE (i.e. The Royal Gift Covenant) to RESCUE His people from their sin and RESTORE them to Himself for their JOY.  God created all things and the pinnacle of this creative activity is humanity. The readers of Genesis 1 and 2 would know that what exists came from God’s good design. The world in which we exist is INCREDIBLE, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, and GOOD. The reason as to why this world and all of creation is so incredible, wonderful, and beautiful is because God is INCREDIBLE, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, and GOOD.

The Lord’s final judgment against the unrighteous will be with fire.  The righteous, however, will be gathered from all the nations to eternally worship the Lord in a new heaven and new earth.  The final sentence is a sober reminder to Isaiah’s audience – if the beauty of ‘the Servant/the Anointed One’ does not attract you to believe, the fear of judgment should.

Speaker: Elder Mike Davis

Throughout scripture there is reference to a Day when God will pour out his wrath upon the wicked.  It is God alone who carries out this wrath and God alone who brings salvation. 

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

The servant king shall not rest until all that He promises comes to pass. The prophet, as a watchman, prays without ceasing until the fulfillment of all God’s promises. As New Testament believers, we are to pray without ceasing until the fulfillment of all God’s promises.

Only God can bring good news to the afflicted, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners. Only God can comfort all

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

The promises in the gospel enable us to hope even while we experience loss, absence, and suffering. As our world becomes increasingly adjusted to and accepting of special effects whereby a false reality is believed, the biblical narrative continues to paint fantastical pictures of a reality almost beyond one’s capacity to believe. And yet, our current conditioning can almost make what we are about to read either believable or purely man-made myth. And at the end of the day, you and I will have to decide what we are going to believe.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

As a consequence of the servant king’s penal substitutionary sacrifice in behalf of His people (Isa. 53), all of the LORD’S promises shall be fulfilled (Isa. 54) and a gracious invitation is extended to the thirsty and wicked to come and seek Him (Isa. 55).

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

The servant described in Isaiah 42, 49, 50, is fully revealed in the fourth and final Servant Song found in Isaiah 53. The LORD has laid on this servant the sins of His people and of the Nations. And it was the LORD’S will to crush His chosen one, the servant. This servant takes our place to satisfy the justice of God whereby stopping the wrath of God.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

This is the third servant song which also builds on the previous two songs. Who the servant is makes what he does decisive. One will either accept his message from God or shall reject his message. Either way, that decision determines destiny.
