Podcasts about bruised reed

Today we call out to our God who suffered temporally so we can live eternally. Our greatest sorrow, though, is our separation, even for a time, in the death of those we love. In that separation, we are most obviously bruised and weak. Today, we glory in our faithful Savior, not breaking us in our weakness."A BATTERED REED HE WILL NOT BREAK OFF, AND A SMOLDERING WICK HE WILL NOT PUT OUT, UNTIL HE LEADS JUSTICE TO VICTORY. 21 "AND IN HIS NAME THE GENTILES WILL HOPE." Matthew 12:20-21"He will not cry out or raise His voice, Nor make His voice heard in the street. 3 "A bruised reed He will not break, And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice. 4 "He will not be disheartened or crushed, Until He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law."Isaiah 42:2-3Our So What?We look to Richard Sibbes. From "A Bruised Reed.""He 'binds up the broken-hearted' (Isa. 61:1). As a mother is tenderest toward the most diseased and weakest child, so does Christ most mercifully incline to the weakest. Likewise he puts an instinct into the weakest things to rely upon something stronger than themselves for support. The vine steadies itself upon the elm, and the weakest creatures often have the strongest shelters. The consciousness of the church's weakness makes her willing to lean on her Beloved and to hide herself under his wing."Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen1 Timothy 1:17Brethren, let's pray for one another. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Matthew 12:15-21

Join us as Pastor Jonathan Goodman preaches this Lord's Day, continuing in Galatians. The sermon emphasizes the importance of actively restoring fallen believers within the church, moving beyond mere doctrinal understanding to embody Christ's love and gentleness. Drawing from Galatians 6, it calls for self-examination, recognizing personal weaknesses, and extending grace to those entangled in sin, ultimately fostering a culture of humility, mutual support, and intentional care rather than isolation or judgment. The message underscores that true Christian community involves bearing one another's burdens, resisting temptation, and actively pursuing restoration as a practical demonstration of faith and a fulfillment of Christ's law of love.

Rev. Andy Wilson and Rev. Russell Hamilton talk about Assurance and how The Marrow of Modern Divinity is helpful in untangling this perennial pastoral issue. They clarify of what, exactly, are we assured, what is the relationship between faith and assurance, and how are ruling elders to help people in the search for assurance?As Donald MacLeod says, "A believer can doubt his faith without doubting the Saviour.”  (From the Marrow Men to the Moderates, Scottish Theology 1700-1800, p.99)For more on the Marrow of Modern Divinity listen to the earlier podcast, Christ Freely Offered, (Season 2, Episode 12), Available here.Recommended ReadingDane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers (Crossway 2020)Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed, (Banner of Truth Trust; 2nd ed. edition, 2021)Harrison Perkins, Reformed Covenant Theology: A Systematic Introduction (Lexham Academic, 2024)Jonathan Landry Cruse, The Christian's True Identity: What It Means to Be in Christ (Reformation Heritage Books, 2022)Sinclair Ferguson, The Christian Life: A Doctrinal Introduction (Banner of Truth Trust,  2013)

Media appearances, self-promotion, meetings with important people… these are all the things we associate with our political leaders today. Jesus is completely different to this. Jesus doesn't promote himself, he doesn't separate himself from ordinary people — he came with a heart of compassion towards us. This passage shows us that Jesus will not break a “bruised reed” — but what does that mean?Find Richard Sibbes' book “The Bruised Reed” here.Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

The Lord calls His servants to be humble and serve others. We are not to trample on the weak but to help them.

Richard Sibbes’ book, “The Bruised Reed,” is a classic! Matthew 12 shows that Jesus is the fulfillment of Isaiah 42. What a Savior! 

Some are haunted with the hideous nature of their imaginations and with wicked and unworthy thoughts of God, Christ, and the Word, which, as busy flies, disquiet and assault their peace. These are cast in a wildfire by Satan, which can be seen in the strangeness, the strength and violence, and the horrible nature of these imaginations, even to those who are corrupt. A virtuous soul is no guiltier of them than Benjamin was when Joseph's cup was put into his sack.

Rev. Andy Wilson and Rev. Russell Hamilton talk about The Marrow of Modern Divinity, an old book that wrestles with the free offer of Jesus Christ to sinners, and questions of law and assurance. This lively old book continues to be relevant to ruling elders in helping people with questions of faith, freedom from the law, legalism, and assurance. Gospel preaching is vital to gospel churches.Further Reading on the Marrow Edward Fisher, The Marrow of Modern Divinity, (Christian Focus, 2016).

Therefore in all temptations let us consider not what he offers, but what we shall lose", Richard Sibbes, 1577-1635, A Puritan Golden Treasury, English theologian. He is known as a Biblical exegete, and as a representative, with William Perkins and John Preston, of what has been called "main-line" Puritanism. He attended St John's College, Cambridge from 1595. He was lecturer at Holy Trinity Church, Cambridge, from about 1610 to 1616. It is erroneously held by 18th and 19th century scholars that Sibbes was deprived of his various academic posts on account of his Puritanism. In fact he was never deprived of any of his posts, due to his ingenuity of the system. He was then preacher at Gray's Inn, London, from 1617, returning to Cambridge as Master of Catherine Hall in 1626, without giving up the London position. He was the author of several devotional works expressing intense religious feeling -- The Saint's Cordial (1629), The Bruised Reed and Smoking Flax (1631, exegesis of Isaiah 42:3), The Soules Conflict (1635), etc.••• “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it”, 1 Corinthians 10:13, NKJV . ••• When does temptation start? ••• What did the serpent do to tempt Eve into making the biggest mistake in human history? ••• Why is an unguarded heart so detrimental to ones future on earth and in heaven? ••• What are 3-things that cause temptation to turn into sin? ••• What 3-steps of temptation lead to death? ••• What will diminish the probability that you will be tempted? ••• What is the main problem with temptation? ••• What are 2-advantages of knowing how temptation works? ••• What are 2-ways to have victory over temptation?••• Are you going to ask your small group to pray that you be more intentional about having victory over temptation through the power of Holy Spirit? ••• Pastor Godwin Otuno expounds on this and much more on the exciting journey of Fresh Encounters Radio Podcast originally aired on September 7, 2024 on WNQM, Nashville Quality Ministries and WWCR World Wide Christian Radio broadcasted to all 7-continents on this big beautiful blue marble, earth, floating through space.

Isaiah prophesies about a mysterious figure called the Servant of the Lord. In the New Testament, the writers identify the Servant of the Lord with Jesus Christ.  These prophecies tell us some things about Jesus, about his work, about what he brings, and about ourselves that we learn nowhere else. Many of the prophecies are called songs, the servant songs. Let's introduce ourselves to this servant, and therefore, to what this tells us about Jesus Christ. The first of the servant songs is in Isaiah 42. We see depicted here 1) a servant king, 2) a healing king, and 3) a suffering king. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 31, 2010. Series: The Songs of the Servant (from Isaiah). Scripture: Isaiah 42:1-9. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
