Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms. —James 5:13, King James Version Though psalm singing is a common practice throughout the history of Christian worship, the creation of metrical psalms—translations of the psalms into strict rhyming verse that can be easily fitted to musical settings in repeating stanzas—is a hallmark of the Reformation Era. John Calvin himself noted that "we shall find no better songs nor more appropriate to the purpose than the Psalms of David which the Holy Spirit madeand spoke through him." This morning, we have three examples of metrical psalmody in the service, with three fairly different musical approaches. Louis Bourgeouis' GENEVAN 42 was written as a setting of Psalm 42 for the 1551 edition of the Genevan Psalter (with a French text: our English text is taken from the 2018 Trinity Psalter Hymnal). You'll hopefully recognize the bouncy, Renaissance tune—we sang it just last week to the more familiar Christmas text, Comfort, Comfort Ye My People. Psalm 42 also provided inspiration for Marty Nystrom's 1980s classic As the Deer, which was a favorite of my childhood non-denominational evangelical church. Lastly, we'll introduce a new setting of Psalm 46 to an americana-style tune called PILOT KNOB, which we'll be learning over the next few weeks of this summer psalms series. —Henry C. Haffner
God's providential care for His people, especially those who are poor, sick, or suffering, shines through so many of the elements chosen for this morning's service. In the Call to Worship, we read that God "upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down" (Psalm 145:14). The hymn O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing declares that when the Lord speaks, He brings life, health, and peace to the "the humble poor," while O Lord Most High—Psalm 9 calls Him the "hope of the poor" and a "refuge strong for all oppressed." The Scripture reading from 2 Corinthians mentions the trials of the Macedonians' poverty (which nonetheless overflowed into generosity) and points out that Jesus, "though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you by His poverty might become rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9). We echo these words later in the service in the Christmas hymn, Thou Who Wast Rich Beyond All Splendor, singing that Christ "all for love's sake, becamest poor." Psalm 41, this morning's sermon text and closing hymn, opens with a commendation for the man who "considers the poor," and promises that the Lord will sustain David on his sickbed and "in his illness … restore him to full health" (Psalm 41:3). In light of this gracious care, how should we respond? Hymns like Comfort, Comfort Ye My People, To Our Redeemer's Glorious Name, and How Great Thou Art gives us an answer: since God has graciously lifted us out of our poverty, illness, and trouble, we should train our hearts to be "true and humble," to pay our "humble thanks" to Him, and to bow in "humble adoration" before His greatness. —Henry C. Haffner

To the Babylonian exiles, the LORD has a word of double comfort. Their warfare is over; their sins are forgiven. A voice crying in the wilderness first announces this good news, preparing the way for the LORD to come to His repentant people. This good news is ultimately for all flesh, so that they would see the LORD's glory revealed. Although people are here today and gone tomorrow, the LORD's Word endures forever. That Word is proclaimed by Zion and Jerusalem, so that they would see their God as the One who defeats all their enemies and who tenderly leads His people as their Shepherd. Rev. Martin Dressler, pastor at Salem Lutheran Church in Black Jack, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 40:1-11. "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 40-66. Though Isaiah lived one hundred years beforehand, he writes to the people of God in exile in Babylon to assure them that their God reigns and will rescue them through the work of His servant. These promises are fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose work Isaiah proclaims vividly seven hundred years beforehand.

Sunday's Sermon: Aliso Creek Church Podcast Opening Song: Comfort, Comfort Ye My People (https://open.spotify.com/track/6k9BnXgDW8oBjrvj1wfjYZ?si=8971615d53f34608) by Catherine Winkworth and Johannes G. Olearius, arranged by Nathan Clark George Lyrics: Comfort ye my people Speak ye peace thus saith our God Comfort comfort Comfort those who sit in darkness Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them Tell her that her sins I cover And her warfare now is over Hark the voice of one that crieth In the desert far and near Bidding all souls to repentance Since the kingdom now is here O that warning cry obey Now prepare for God away Let the valleys rise to meet Him And the hills bow down to greet Him Make ye make ye Make ye straight what long was crooked Make the rougher places plain Let your hearts be true and humble As befits His holy reign For the glory of the Lord Now o'er the earth is shed abroad And all flesh shall see the token And all flesh shall see the token That His word is never broken Comfort ye my people Passage: 1 “Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God. 2 “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and announce to her that her time of hard service is over, her iniquity has been pardoned, and she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins.” 3 A voice of one crying out: Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert. 4 Every valley will be lifted up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; the uneven ground will become smooth and the rough places, a plain. 5 And the glory of the LORD will appear, and all humanity together will see it, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken. 6 A voice was saying, “Cry out!” Another said, “What should I cry out?” “All humanity is grass, and all its goodness is like the flower of the field. 7 The grass withers, the flowers fade when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass. 8 The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God remains forever.” 9 Zion, herald of good news, go up on a high mountain. Jerusalem, herald of good news, raise your voice loudly. Raise it, do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!” 10 See, the Lord GOD comes with strength, and his power establishes his rule. His wages are with him, and his reward accompanies him. 11 He protects his flock like a shepherd; he gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them in the fold of his garment. He gently leads those that are nursing. (Isaiah 40:1-11 CSB17) Musical Reflection: Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus, tune by Rowland Hugh Prichard Reflection Notes: This jubilant Advent text was written by the well-known hymn writer, Charles Wesley. While several tunes have been used over the years, one of the most popular for the Advent season is HYFRIDOL, a lilting Welsh melody composed by Rowland Hugh Prichard in the early nineteenth century. Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.

Preached at the FLOW Service.
Rev. Andy Wright, pastor at St. John's Lutheran Church in Topeka, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Lutheran Service Book #347, “Comfort, Comfort, Ye My People.” This beautiful Advent hymn summarizes the Word of God from Isaiah 40 to give us Christian comfort. God sends His messengers to proclaim peace to us in the midst of our sorrows and sins. This peace comes from the fact that God forgives our sins for the sake of Christ and covers us with His righteousness. God works this great reversal for us to take us from temporary sadness to eternal gladness. For that reason, we must listen to the preachers God sends to call us to repentance so that nothing stands in the way of His coming as our King. In that humble repentance, we find our rest in the promises of God, because we know that His Word will never fail. “The Hymns of Advent'' is a series on Sharper Iron that looks at a variety of the hymns found in the Advent section Lutheran Service Book. The season of Advent prepares us for Christ's coming. The hymns of Advent teach that this is more than getting ready for Christmas; the Word of the Lord sung in hymnody helps us to receive Christ as He comes to us now in the means of grace and when He comes again in glory on the Last Day.
Discussion about Come, Follow Me, Isaiah 40-49, "Comfort Ye My People."
Shelby is back and you know what that means: it means something. Go listen and find out what that is as she studies Isaiah with you.
Isaiah 40–49 “Comfort Ye My People” Many passages in Isaiah 40–49 can help the children increase their love for the Lord and their faith in Him. This week we learn “I can be a witness of the Lord.” “Beside me there is no saviour.” I can help prepare “the way of the Lord.” The Lord is with me in my trials. The Lord will never forget me.” This come follow me kids podcast is a podcast for primary children who belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and their friends. This is an Old Testament Bible study for kids.
Kerry provides the historical and spiritual background to help us understand how Judah got to where they were largely destroyed, and how they got to where Jerusalem was spared, and what the famous lines about comforting God's people means in light of that, and what we can learn from that.Our gratitude to our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and to Alexia Muhlestein for editing this episode, and to Rich Nicholls for composing and playing the music for the podcast.
Join Marcus, Kenny, and Jackson as they discuss the comfort that Christ brings into our lives. He became who we needed Him to become so that we might overcome the challenges of this life. We discuss the scars that he chooses to keep, or at least that's our thoughts. From Come Follow Me:“Comfort” is the first word of Isaiah chapter 40. It marks the beginning of a different tone, a different emphasis in the prophet's message. Where Isaiah's earlier writings warned Israel and Judah about destruction and captivity that would come because of their sins, these later prophecies were meant to comfort the Jews over 150 years in the future—after Jerusalem was destroyed, the temple was desecrated, and the people were taken captive by Babylon. But these prophecies reach even further into the future than to the defeated, disheartened Israelites. They speak to us, who also sometimes feel defeated, disheartened, and even lost.Isaiah's message to them and to us is simple: “Fear not” (Isaiah 43:1). All is not lost. The Lord has not forgotten you, and He has power over situations that seem out of your control. Isn't the Lord “he that created the heavens, and … he that spread forth the earth, and … he that giveth breath unto the people upon it”? (Isaiah 42:5). Isn't He more powerful than Babylon, than sin, than whatever is holding you captive? “Return unto me,” He pleads, “for I have redeemed thee” (Isaiah 44:22). He can heal, restore, strengthen, forgive, and comfort—whatever is needed for you, in your case, to be redeemed.To learn how Nephi and Jacob likened Isaiah 48–49 to their people, see 1 Nephi 22 and 2 Nephi 6.#bible #biblestudy #comefollowme #Isaiah #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #bestrong #become #overcome #churchofjesuschrist #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #christianpodcast #christianity #religion #podcastSupport the show
September 19-25 Isaiah's very name means The Lord is Salvation. In this week's chapters (40-49) we get a clear message that there is no other God but Jehovah, who is Jesus Christ. We cannot turn to the world, we cannot turn to idols, we cannot turn to those around us, we can only turn to the one true God. He has made a covenant with His chosen servants (those who will follow Him), the posterity and adopted ones of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Spirit of the Lord is poured out upon all those who keep the covenant and they will also receive the Lord's protection and covenant blessings. We welcome our dear friend, Dr. Kerry Muhlestein, this week as we dive deep into Isaiah.
