09MAR2024 - The Obedient & Suffering Servant

This sermon explores the third Servant Song in Isaiah 50:4-11, expanding on the broader biblical theme of God's covenant with Israel. It examines Israel as God's bride, tracing the covenant's foundation in Exodus, Israel's spiritual adultery, and God's divorce from them as described in Jeremiah. However, the message emphasizes God's promise of restoration, illustrating how Christ’s death and resurrection make a way for reconciliation. Drawing from Proverbs 31, the sermon compares the faithful remnant of Israel to the Virtuous Woman, calling believers to embody wisdom, diligence, and faithfulness. A real-life example of mentoring a struggling young woman reinforces the call for Christians to disciple and serve others as a reflection of God’s covenant love. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to remain steadfast as the bride of Christ, living in obedience, love, and service.
