The Risen Servant King Isaiah 61:1–3 Introduction: We say “He is Risen!” about the Risen Servant King. These three words have echoed for over two thousand years, changing history and transforming lives. But why is the resurrection of Jesus so powerful?

The Obedient Servant in Suffering Isaiah 50:4–11 The obedient servant in suffering explores how Jesus endured hardship, yet He was still obedient to God. Have you ever been in a situation where obedience to God led to hardship instead of comfort? Maybe you followed God’s call, but it brought criticism, rejection, or pain.

The Heart of Worship Isaiah 6:1-8 The heart of worship is not just about what we do in church but about encountering God in a way that transforms us. Worship is more than just singing songs or attending a service—it is an “encounter with the living God”. Isaiah 6:1-8 gives us a powerful picture of worship: it begins with a vision of God, moves to repentance, leads to transformation, and sends us into service. Today, we will use the word... Read more
