Good morning! I invite you to turn in your Bibles to Isaiah 40. How many of you know what I am talking about when I say “comfort food?” Is there a dish or food that comes to mind?

The Testimony Of John The Baptist

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 21, 2021

John the Baptist is presented in the prologue of John's gospel as the prophesied forerunner to the arrival of God's Messiah. He prepared the people of Israel for the Messiah by preaching repentance and obedience. Repentance was needed then, and in these last days as well.

So far in John's prologue to his magnificent account of the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, we were introduced to the person and ministry of John the Baptist, described as "a man sent from God" (1:6) and who was to "bear witness of the Light" (1:7-8). He bore ...read more

God Will Comfort His People Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on May 11, 2025

God is not fooled by our selfish offerings of holiness. Isaiah encourages us to reach out to God for everything that we need, including making the path to our heart clear, and this study demonstrates why knowing Him is so important - because it forces us to see who He is!

Find comfort, confidence, and cheer in the promise of Advent.

The Faithful Saw Him

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025

XMAS - Advent sharpens spiritual sight; like Simeon and Anna, we recognize Jesus through devotion, worship, and Spirit-led attentiveness as God draws near.

THE EYES HAVE IT There is a quiet kind of beauty in the Advent season that has nothing to do with lights, trees, music, or celebration. It is the beauty of waiting. Of watching. Of learning to see God when He draws near. Advent, at its heart, is a season of holy attentiveness—where the people of ...read more

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
