Jeff Jendrix on Isaiah 61, 1-3 and Luke 4, 16-30. Continuing our series on Isaiah, the changed voice in Isaiah 61 was a puzzle for centuries, until Jesus of Nazareth appeared as its fulfillment.

Jeff Hendrix on Isaiah 55:1-13: We continue our series on Isaiah with a reflection on forgiveness, the cultural meaning of gifts, and God’s abundant grace. In this episode, we consider the invitation to come, receive, and be restored, exploring what this passage reveals about God’s mercy, His faithfulness, and the hope that awaits all who turn to Him.

Jeff Hendrix on Isaiah 52:13-15, 53:1-12: The passage explains that Jesus is the suffering servant from the book of Isaiah who willingly carried all of our sins, grief, and weaknesses.People wrongfully thought Jesus was being punished by God for his own mistakes, but he was actually being crushed to pay for our wrongs.The speaker states that this prophecy is fulfilled through the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus, which brings healing and wholeness to everyone who believes.

Sean Lashell on Isaiah 42:1-9. We continue our series on Isaiah with the servant song that says this about the one God is going to send: a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. This servant that will come will balance justice and grace...two difficult things to manage simultaneously. But this is exactly who we see in Jesus Christ...the servant that Isaiah prophesied about.

Jeff Hendrix on Isaiah 11:1-10: In Isaiah's vision of the shoot coming up from the stump of Jesse, we see a vision of what God can do when he sets to work on the reconciliation of the world. We get a view of the shoot, the spirit that rests upon him, and what the redeemed world looks like. Jesus was recognized as that shoot in the post-resurrection world. What does that mean for us today?

Jeff Hendrix on Isaiah 7 & 9: With a little bit of the Advent season in our summer series. We continue our Isaiah series with Immanuel, God with us. Looking at the situation that Ahaz found himself in, and God giving a sign that was not asked for. Today we find ourselves living in the darkest parts...the forgotten parts...where Christ began his ministry and God came to live among us.

Jeff Hendrix on Isaiah 6:1-8: We begin our Isaiah series with the call of Isaiah in chapter six. We find ourselves in the throne room of the Most High. Recognizing our sinfulness. God responds not with condemnation but with purification and a call. Isaiah's response should resound in our ears as well. "Here Am I...send me".

Eli Moyer on Acts 2:1-21: On this Pentecost Sunday, we take a look at the Wonderful Works of God as sung by a multitude of voices and languages. As the birth of the Church is taking place, we are reminded of the birth of Jesus and other times when the heavenly hosts sang of the wonderful works of God...but this time the Holy Spirit brought those voices into the bodies of humanity.

Jeff Hendrix on Acts 1:6-13: On the final Sunday of our Easter series, Jesus appears to his disciples as he ascends into the heavens. As he prepares, the disciples are asking all the wrong questions, but Jesus refocuses them into a mission.

Jeff Hendrix on Acts 9:1-19: We continue our Easter season series on Jesus' post-Easter appearances. This time not to a friend, a disciple, a martyr, or a group. This time, he appears to his most vicious enemy. When Saul was on the road to tear apart the young Christian church, Jesus knocked him off his donkey and reordered his life.
