Grace Community Church - Nashville

Last week, we kicked off our annual season of prayer with the Devoted to Prayer guide. On the podcast this week, Justin and Scott discuss the importance of prayer, as well as pitfalls to avoid.

The Words of Grace Podcast seeks to clarify, amplify, and apply the Sunday morning sermon at Grace Community Church. From time to time we will address other topics. We hope these podcasts help impress the Word of God into your everyday life. Episodes are hosted by Justin Tucker and Scott Patty.

The word “grace” is not used in this passage, but it could be written over the whole of it. This passage communicates the uniqueness of God as the one living and true LORD, the Creator, the Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. He alone can create, call, and care for his people. He shows abounding grace to them in their captivity and sin. His grace to his people reveals his glory to the nations. This is true today. May we be drawn to Christ by the cords of his grace to declare his praise to all.

Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God’s grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

The message to God’s people is that his Servant will heal them up not break them to ruin. He will fan the flame of their faintly burning lives not blow them out. The Lord is with them in their weakness to bring them under his just rule and into a right relationship with him. Ultimately, this message applies to Christ who strengthens and leads us in the kingdom of God. Turn to Christ today.

The Lord is communicating to his people that the captivity they are experiencing in no way threatens the reality of his sovereignty or their election. He will strengthen, help, and uphold them. For this reason, they are not to fear. This message for Judah in exile in the sixth century is for Christ’s church and Christians at all times and in all places until he returns. Do not fear.

The glory, greatness, and grace of God revealed in Isaiah 40 gives us confidence that he takes notice of us and will act on our behalf. The Lord promised that he would come to us, and he did in Christ. He promises to renew our strength to follow Christ, and he will as we wait for him.

In this section of Isaiah 40 the Lord is reasoning with his people. Through a series of questions he leads them to see his incomparable nature, power, and ways. Isaiah gives us a new understanding of God in Christ, and by it we are renewed in faith.

The renewing vision for the downcast and disheartened, for doubters and those in despair, for all who are in some kind of darkness, is God in his greatness and grace. Isaiah’s prophecy to the exiles points to Jesus Christ who came as the triumphant king to rescue us for himself, and as the compassionate shepherd who carries and cares for us to the end. Behold your God in the person of Jesus Christ and be renewed today.
