God, The Good Shepherd, Will Bring You Home (Isaiah 49:7-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 7, 2024

God promises his exiled people He will bring them from shame to honor, from exile to home, from being prisoners to freedom.

The last few weeks, we've spent a fair bit of time studying, and circling around, Isaiah 49:1-6. These verses (I've argued) are the words of the exilic prophet, who feels like his ministry to Israel has been a waste. He's accomplished nothing. He's poured out his strength for ...read more

"Love, Devotion And Sacrifice” Series

Contributed by William Tan Yh on Jul 16, 2020
