Sermon Songs: Isaiah 12

His righteous anger turned away
His comforts ever new
He is my strength and song always
I praise and trust in you

Consider all that He has done
Exalted is His name
Here in our midst – the Holy One!
His praise we now proclaim

– From a sermon on Isaiah 12

Declaring the Glory

Fam2014 092 Wagner

Wagner Falls near Munising in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
– Psalm 19:1

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature,
have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,
in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
– Romans 1:20

Prayer for the Ukraine

I have been posting prayer guides for America for the past few weeks.  This week, here is a prayer guide for Ukraine as they hold elections this Sunday:

  • Churches – ministry to the hurting, needy, struggling, and fearful
  • Ministry to refugees/families fleeing areas of violence
  • Ministry in the violent areas, safety and protection
  • Many people to come to know Christ in the midst of the turmoil
  • End to the violence (here is the latest), peaceful resolution to the tensions
  • Peaceful national elections Sunday – clear integrity of the results, peaceful acceptance and embrace of the results

Sermon Songs: Isaiah 11

Our hope is in the coming King
The Branch and yet the Root

Who died & rose this hope to bring
The Branch will bear much fruit

He’ll rule with wisdom and with might
He’ll judge with righteousness

Fear of the Lord is his delight
Away with wickedness!

He’ll end the strife, bring in the peace
And all will know the Lord

From violence and the curse – release
Eden will be restored

The remnant comes from all the earth
From every century

Together we’ll proclaim his worth
For all eternity

– From a sermon on Isaiah 11
