Out of Our Sin and Sadness

Isaiah 52:13-53:1-12

About the Sermon

How will God bring His people home? That’s the question of this sermon as we continue our series Out of Our Lonely Exile. Christmas is approaching. Excitement is building. However, as Christmas heightens our joy and anticipation, it also deepens our sense of loss and longing. Ever since God evicted our first parents from the garden because of their rebellion, humanity has longed for and sought to find our way home, but every attempt has failed. We can’t get ourselves back to the place we’re supposed to be because we can’t make ourselves right with the One who matters. If we are ever to get home, God himself must do something. Listen in and be ready to rejoice in God’s shocking solution to our deepest problem.

About the Series

“O come, O come, Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel; That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.” Lonely exile. That’s one way to describe life east of Eden. The Lord drove us out of the garden because we were intent on driving him out of our lives. There is no way back to that place, but there is a way forward. The Lord Jesus has come to ransom us from our lonely exile here. In this short series we work through the Bible’s story in five stops, working from Eden to the New Creation, from our original home to a greater home still.
