Messiah
Joy of Every Longing Heart - Pt 2 - God’s people suffered for years, praying that God would deliver them. He promised an Anointed One—a Messiah—to save them. In Isaiah, He was known as the Lord’s Servant, His Glory, and the Man of Sorrows. The way He would save them wasn’t what the people expected, then or now.
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
