Welcome

"So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a dream
And you'll have the faith His first followers had
And you'll feel the weight of the beam"--Michael Card

Isaiah 12 - God Is My Salvation

One of the most beautiful hymns to be found in the Bible is not in the book of Psalms at all, but rather in the book of Isaiah. In Isaiah chapter 12 is recorded the great hymn to be sung by God's people in the day of their redemption, when God redeems them and turns them and saves them. It is known as the great hymn of God's salvation and looks forward to a time then future. Though they were about to suffer the consequences of their rebellion toward God, Isaiah gives them this glimpse into the future when God's anger will be turned away and God will comfort his people.


Is God right to be angry? What should we think about that? Is sin worth getting angry over? And if God loves sinners anyway, doesn't that mean that sin is not that big a deal? How is God's anger appeased?

I ask and answer these questions in this sermon and, although I do not even come close to doing justice to this great passage, pay attention to the Scripture itself and not the poor job I do of expounding it. Below is the link to the audio.
