We live in a culture where it’s easy to find ourselves feeling anxious and overwhelmed, caught in the current of rapid change and constant uncertainty. From smartphone addiction to political polarization, life in 2026 can feel like a spiritual wilderness. In this sermon from Kirk Mackie, we look at the turning point of the book of Isaiah. When God’s people lost everything, their land, their temple, and their identity, God met them with a surprising message: "Comfort, comfort my people."
A strong start doesn’t guarantee a strong finish. In Isaiah 39, we see how pride can quietly shift our focus from God to ourselves and how that shift impacts the legacy we leave behind. Hezekiah was doing great but he dropped his guard. Listen in as Pastor Neal Benson challenges us to trust God fully and invest our lives in helping others follow Him.
When life feels uncertain, where do you run? In Isaiah 36–37, God’s people are faced with fear, pressure, and lies about who God is. In this message, Pastor Neal Benson walks through how King Hezekiah responds and what we can learn about trusting God in the middle of uncertainty. Discover three truths to hold onto when fear rises: don’t be afraid, don’t believe the lies, and this threat won’t last.
What does it look like to truly follow God? In Isaiah 50, we see a powerful picture of Jesus as the obedient Servant who listens, suffers, and trusts the Father completely. Listen in as Pastor Neal Benson helps us discover how Jesus' obedience leads to our salvation and what it means for our lives today.
What if the greatest gift you’ve ever received came at a greater cost than you realized? In this Easter message, we explore Isaiah 52-53 and see how Jesus suffered in our place to bring us back to God. No matter your past or your pain, He is inviting you into new life today.
What if true justice isn’t about power or lording it over others but about restoration? In Isaiah 42, we meet God’s Servant, Jesus, who brings truth to our brokenness, light to our darkness, and life to all who trust Him. This message invites us to experience His transforming love and carry that hope into a hurting world.
In Isaiah 7–11, God speaks to a fearful nation led by a failing king and promises that a different King is coming. This future ruler would be the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. In this message, Pastor Neal Benson shows how Jesus fulfills this promise and why our hope cannot rest in human leaders but in the eternal King who brings lasting peace.
In Isaiah 6, the prophet encounters the holiness of God in a way that changes everything. In this message, Pastor Neal Benson explores how a right view of God reshapes our understanding of ourselves and our purpose. When we see God rightly, we offer ourselves fully. Through Isaiah’s experience we learn that God’s holiness reveals our need, His grace brings cleansing, and His call invites us into a life of meaningful service.
