Isaiah 49

 Read Isaiah 42 & 49

VIDEO

Really take time this week to sit in this passage and slowly go through your notes. It asks a lot of good questions and sets a lot of hard and yet wonderful truths in front of us.

Outline for the video 

Intro- Don't get ahead! This is not the first time we have heard this warning. Do not approach the Word with the mentality...Oh I have read this before and interject your understanding. Let the word speak and teach. We won't learn anything new if we continue to try and teach the word rather than listen.

Isaiah 49:

Rare benefit of this passage- we enter into the human struggles of Jesus of Nazareth

-truly God yet truly Man- sinless man but not an effortless human life

-we read how the Messiah speaks to His Father when ministry is tough

-We must see faith as it is- we are the empty handed recipients of it

Read Psalm 77: 3,5,10

    -can you relate to these verses? 

    - min marker 3:21-4:42

        +slowly listen and reflect. How do you respond when what you believe breaks your heart, when there is a gap between what you are reading in scripture and what you are living for.

Isaiah 49:1-3


v 4 contrast --> agony of work without purpose or substance

Read John 6

-let us pause here and see Jesus' true struggle yet perfectly obedient response

THE LORD IS MY REWARD- can we say that?

v5--> preaching to Himself in hardship go to scripture and lay hold of the facts

2 simple applications:

Do you adore the Jesus that really is?

Can you follow Him more closely?

To Save the World

 ADVENT IS HERE!!!! It is with this great joy and delight that we get to gather again in the Word of God and pause each day, soaking in the richness of just who He is and what He has done.  Each week Monday through Thursday the study will be published here on the blog- roughly before 9:30am. Every Friday I will link a sermon for the weekend to listen to to deepen our knowledge. I am using Allistar Begg's Advent series on this passage from 2012 for this (in case you want to jump ahead!) and daily our hymn will change. By the end of the season we have a pretty great worship list! This year we will be studying Isaiah 9:1-7. One passage. Parked. For 4 weeks. I can't wait. It's hard to gloss over a short passage if you are there for this long. We will mine the word for the glorious grace revealed in this Old Testament prophecy-that- this side of the stable we can hold tightly in all its unwrapped truths. As with previous studies- we will sing, read, and meditate on the Word. We ...

 Listen or read Isaiah 42 before your press play! Familiarize yourself with the passage. Pick a verse or 2 to either memorize or write out this week. VIDEO 3 The outline of the video to follow along with or print and take notes: Verse 1 Behold or look...at a servant The illustration used for us today would be perhaps someone you overlook, whether it be a grocery stocker or housekeeping. (To which I had to laugh because within our own home, 2 of us do as such for work) God says, this overlooked one, this servants is: Whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights. -He is the Servant of God -God upholds Him making it impossible to fail at the task at hand. *Economy of redemption -truly a man representative of a real people Isaiah 11:2 the Spirit of:        -the Lord will rest on Him       -wisdom and understanding       -counsel and strength     -knowledge and the fear of the Lord Ephesians 1 God choosing t...

A small walk through Servant Songs

 Hello! This blog for our Lentish series this year will look different. It will essentially serve as a study guide to the videos provided by Media Gratiae so that we can spend time studying into the Word. This series is beautifully done- primarily because of the exaltation of Christ. He is the Crown Jewel as well as the Sacrificial Lamb. We will learn to see him as both and can watch as the prophecies unfold.  Without further explanation...here is the outline for this week! Study along with me?! CONTEXT *watch the video first just to hear it- follow through a 2nd or 3rd time with the outline at your own pace through the week so you can use the outline to take notes.   Context: Order of the 4 Songs This is a picture of Christ! The coming Messiah! Isaiah 42 serves to explain the coming Christ Isaiah 49, 50 build on this Isaiah 53 Is the song of the Cross which builds on the first 3 Essential to this study: try not to interpret the prophet- otherwise you become the teacher a...
