Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 24, 2024

Questions That Need An Answer (Isaiah 40:12-31) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 7, 2024

The questions push people to believe what they know: God is great; problems (and human empires like Babylon) are small.

Our passage today is built around a series of questions. You might find these questions comically easy to answer. Parts of this might feel a bit like Sunday school when you were very little. But work with me this morning. Multiple times, I'm going to ask you the question the prophet asks. ...read more

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Jan 8, 2025

Hear Isaiah’s Advent Call!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Dec 1, 2025

But ultimately, they were the voices of God calling his people to turn away from their sins, return to ...read more
