An Expositional Series by Pastor Jim Harmeling from August to December 2019

When an unexpected crisis strikes and God does not immediately take the trouble away, where do we truly place our confidence?  Do we lean on our own self-sufficiency, panic in fear, and look for worldly escapes, or do we listen to and obey the voice of God when our faith is put to the test?

In this expositional series through the major themes and prophecies of Isaiah, Pastor Jim Harmeling examines the recurring spiritual dilemma faced by God’s people: whether they will trust and follow the Lord in times of testing.  Stepping through vivid prophetic warnings, from the tragic failure of a carefully planted vineyard yielding worthless, stinking fruit to the sovereign holiness of God that dismantles human pride, these messages bring ancient warnings straight into modern life.

Ultimately, the series points beyond our failures to the big picture of God's redemptive plan: the promise of a humble King, a Suffering Servant, and a coming Messiah who fulfills every covenant promise, bears our judgment, and restores lasting hope to a broken world.
