Sermon – Pictures of Judgement and Grace: The Banner of Salvation (Isaiah 9:8-12:6)

Read the text – Isaiah 9:8-12:6

The people of Judah face a number of crises from within (their own sin) and without (the alliance of Israel and Syria, the power of Assyria). Who will they trust to rescue them? Themselves? Foreign Nations? or God Almighty?

In this sermon, Josh Schroder explains how, even though judgement has fallen, God has raised a banner of salvation for all nations, and he will bring his people home. God’s promise of salvation is fulfilled perfectly in Christ, and no matter what calamity might befall us now, our future resting place is secure.

Sermon – Calamity upon the House of David – Part 2 (2 Samuel 15-18)

2 Samuel Artwork

Through the twists and turns that has become the norm in King David’s household we see God painfully faithful to his word. His judgment remains on David’s house as Absalom rebels and David flees.  Yet it is God who remains on the throne, and preserves David’s place on it, frustrating the usurpers, protecting his king and removing those who defy him.

In the ups and downs that we know in life, who calls the shots? How do you benefit by trusting God in the good and the bad?
