Sermons on Mission To Gentiles:

God's Servant, The Justice-Bringer (Isaiah 42:1-9) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 28, 2024

God commissions and empowers his servant to produce "justice" for the nations. "Justice" here= "God's desired way of life." It's done, through gentle, careful teaching. The servant is Israel, Jesus, and the church.

This is going to be a pretty ambitious sermon today, so let's dive right in. Isaiah 42:1: (1) LOOK! My servant, [Isaiah 41:8, 9; 34:10; 44:1, 2; 45:4], I am upholding him, [Isaiah 41:10] my chosen one [Isaiah 41:8, 9; 43:10; 44:1, 2; 45:4], my soul/inner being has delighted in [or: ...read more

Strong Enough To Serve

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025

Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more

Nice Church

Contributed by Karl Ingersoll on Jun 19, 2008
