Series Overview: The servant King

Jan 26

No nation had ever come back.

Never in the history of the world had a nation been displaced from its land and then found its way back.

But Israel did. Because God’s promises are true and powerful.

And, just like God worked powerfully in history to release Israel from Exile and back into her Promised Land, God is releasing all of creation from the power of sin — through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Our next series across Redemption Church, The Servant King, explores all this as we dive into the magnificent poetry and prophecy of Isaiah 40-55.

Isaiah 40-55 is one unified poem that marks the beginning of Isaiah’s “book of comfort,” so named because Isaiah 40 opens with, “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.”

It’s a poem that begins with the glory and greatness of God and concludes with a reflection on the pinnacle of God’s greatness — the suffering and substitutionary death of the Suffering Servant, Jesus Christ.

Along the way, we see a great deal of the heart and character of the God who loves to bring his people back.

Why This Series?

Believe it or not, Easter is less than three months away. We want to spiritually prepare to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. Isaiah 40-55 will help.

Additionally, this section of Scripture is not well-known by many of us. We will benefit from learning from Isaiah and will be encouraged in familiar truths, even if it comes through unfamiliar passages.
