Before delving into the sermon texts (Isaiah 40:28-31 and 41:10), Steve took a look at Isaiah the man. Not a lone prophet, wandering through the wilderness, but a married man with kids, holding onto his ministry through many highs and lows; through challenges not so different from the ones faced by our world today.
And the words that Isaiah spoke then, speak life and encouragement to us today. Words to refresh us, to renew us, to help us soar, to give us courage. They also look forward, to the gospel, to the work finished on the cross and to the promise of the Holy Spirit.
