Summary
Let's start in Isaiah chapter 64, a good way to find Isaiah, is to go to the book of Psalms right in the middle, start working your way to the right, you're going to cross over Proverbs, please, yes, these, so on of Solomon, then you'll hit Isaiah. Let's go to Hebrews, the 11th chapter, a good way to find Hebrews, it's just go to book of Revelation, last book, slowly start working your way backwards, you're going to cross the John, you're going to cross the Peters, you'll hit James as you're going left, and then you're going to hit Hebrews. It's not just being a good person and doing good things for others it's it's actually about accepting the Lord Jesus Christ into their into their world and actually considering the Lord Jesus as their savior. We just talked to them about options and then we talked to them very openly about the gospel and that is amazing how many people because I didn't think I would be the type who would be equipped but of course God did equip me to be able to talk openly about the gospel it's a very smooth conversation and sometimes you get somebody's very anti Christianity for whatever reason but often you can have a very good conversation and then as we we hear from our pastors here living word we're just here to plant the seed. It's good news to the people that would be in Babylonian captivity, speaking of their deliverance, it's good news for all of us of the deliverance that is ours, who the Lord Jesus Christ and what you have in this glorious chapter of Isaiah 40 is you have a dual prophecy and we understand, right, where Luther talks about Isaiah's just a dancing here with these promises. Every week we come here and we come to the table and we pray and we make a contract with God that we repent of our sins, we make a contract that we're going to do better, that we're going to be better, that we're going to try harder, but we're just making a contract because we leave the doors and we enter into our daily lives and we find that that contract to repent, to do better, to be better, to try harder, well it's changeable.
