We meet again as Men For Christ next Tuesday 2 April at 730pm in the church.  

We continue to look at the book of the prophet Isaiah.  This week we are looking at Isaiah 50:4-11 this is the third of the Servant songs, looking at the work of the Messiah.   The third Servant Song is a call for people to trust God’s Word and walk in God’s ways rather than in the ways of the world or our own wisdom.  We live in a world where we are exposed to many different voices and influences.  The question we need to reflect on is whose voice speaks loudest and has ultimate authority in our lives?

 

 

Come along next Tuesday as we look at this passage.  Encourage each other, learn from each other, pray for each other.

 Men For Christ is about the men of Carrubbers investing in each other's lives, pushing each other closer to Jesus and deeper into His Word. Our text is God's revealed truth, the Bible, which speaks powerfully to the real issues that men face today. Join us as we relate, wrestle and rest in the greatness of our awesome Creator.

Through our series of meetings from October 2023 we are studying Isaiah.  

Isaiah has been called “The Bible In Miniature”.  Isaiah is first called to a ministry of proclaiming judgement against a sinful nation.  This dominates his ministry and first commissioning in chapters 1-39 (OT has 39 books).  Then Isaiah is commissioned a second time with a ministry of proclaiming salvation and hope to the nation, through the coming of the Servant of the Lord, in chapters 40-66 (NT has 27 chapters).  Isaiah begins with a vision of a corrupt city of Jerusalem and sinful world, and finishes with a vision of a New Jerusalem and a New Heavens and Earth.  At the centre of it all (especially in chapters 40-55) is the mysterious person of the Servant of the Lord, the prophesied Redeemer – born of a virgin (Isaiah 7), born to rule the nations (Isaiah 9), born filled with the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 11) - who will atone for the sins of the people and bring blessing to all the nations of the world.  The vocation that sinful Israel has failed to fulfill will be fulfilled in this one person, the Servant of the Lord.
