Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-13

Series: Isaiah: A New Understanding of Everything

Preacher: Jerry Cisar

Isaiah 55 ends with a breathtaking promise: the mountains and hills will burst into song, the trees of the field will clap their hands, and thornbushes will be replaced with flourishing trees.

It’s more than poetry. It’s a vision of restoration—of a world healed and renewed. But it all begins with a question: Why do we spend our lives chasing what doesn’t satisfy?

This week, we’ll explore how Isaiah invites us into a better way—a way that doesn’t require money or status, but does require surrender. God calls us to forsake our ways, exchange our thoughts for His, and feast on what truly gives life.

This isn’t just about personal change. It’s about a kind of transformation that spills out into the world—where joy and peace lead the way, and even creation itself begins to respond. When God’s people live by God’s wisdom, signs of Eden reappear.

Join us as we continue our series Isaiah: A New Understanding of Everything and discover how lives shaped by God’s values become living proof of His everlasting promise.

When we imagine fixing what’s wrong with the world, we often think of power, force, or control. But in Isaiah 53, God reveals a shocking alternative: a suffering servant who absorbs our rebellion, not by retaliation, but by love.

In this message, we explore how God’s solution to humanity’s deepest problem is shocking, atoning, transforming, and expanding. This is not the salvation we expect—but it is the salvation that truly satisfies. Through the wisdom of the cross, we see justice and mercy meet in a way that changes everything.

🎧 Listen in to discover how the servant’s wounds become our healing, and how his way becomes our way.

The Servant & The Conqueror - Isaiah 42:1-9

(Part of the series: A New Understanding of Everything)

What does victory look like in God’s kingdom? It doesn’t look like shouting in the streets or crushing enemies underfoot. In Isaiah 42 and Matthew 12, we meet a Servant who conquers with gentleness—restoring the broken, freeing the oppressed, and establishing justice to the ends of the earth.

In this message, we explore:

1️⃣ A New Old Way to Conquer

2️⃣ The Servant and His Conquest

3️⃣ Healed Hands for Conquering

Jesus, the true Servant, destroys his enemies not by force—but by turning them into sons and daughters. His justice reaches the coastlands, and we are invited to join the mission. If we’re close enough to the action, we’ll see it happen.

👣 Come discover the beauty of a kingdom built on restoration, not domination.
