Send me a Text Message!How can I get God's attention? That seems like an important question when it comes to prayer right? If I want to be a person whose prayers produce great results, I think I need to be a person who can get God's attention. This episode will give us a picture of the people whom God goes out of his way to give them His attention.If you have ever asked the question, "How can I get God's attention?" the answer is "Be a tsaddiqim." What's that? Listen and find out.

Send me a Text Message!That's my question, well one of my questions in this episode, "Does prayer matter if God doesn't care?" I think most of us listening, believe that God could do what we've prayed for, but we have some problem believing that He would. In other words, we're not sure if God cares. And let's be honest, prayer is just shouting in the darkness if God doesn't care.But at the risk of giving it away, I'll simply say this, "God cares." In this episode and the next we'll talk abit about what God cares about.

Year C – 11th Sunday after Pentecost; Lectionary 21 – August 24, 2025 Pastor Megan Floyd Isaiah 58:9b-14 Luke 13:10-17   Grace and peace to you from God, our Creator, who commands us to honor a liberating Sabbath. Amen. *** One of my colleagues shared a frustrating story this week… she has two small children who sit on the floor near the front of their sanctuary, and they quietly color while she leads worship. They aren't making any noise or hurting anyone. And the kids are actually paying attention… just like someone who knits a scarf during a meeting… they're just not paying attention in the same way that some of the adults think is appropriate. So those adults are giving her a hard time about it… and they've even suggested that maybe she should tell her kids to go color in the narthex or the nursery. These adults would rather there be no kids in worship… than to tolerate what they consider to be… the disrespectful behavior of coloring while hearing about God. …it's almost as if the leaders from the synagogue where Jesus was teaching are now members of my colleague's church… and they still don't get it. Now… I don't mean to throw shade over her people… because none of us are without fault. That's why we all need God's grace and mercy.   But what I hear in these texts today… from both Isaiah and the gospel, and from my colleague about her experience this past week… is that God's people have been struggling to follow God's commandments… for thousands of years. It's not a new problem… but that's not an excuse… because we are only hurting ourselves. How often have we given preference to rituals and traditions over radical hospitality and true welcome? How often have we opted for the appearance of righteousness instead of doing the work of true reflection, repentance, and change? …or opted for the appearance of clean and orderly city streets, sweeping away the problem… instead of addressing the system that created the problem? How often do we smooth over a wound or treat only the symptoms… instead of addressing the root cause of the illness? It's not a new problem… this failure to follow God's commandments… but we're only hurting ourselves because, as Isaiah tells us, our joy and delight in the Lord… our joy and delight in this life… is connected to following these commandments… and to truly follow… we need each other. And we know this… we know this deep in our core… that this is true. God knows who we are… and knows what we need for a full and flourishing life. It's already been given to us. But we're stubborn. I want to give you some context for our text from Isaiah… it takes place after those who had been exiled to Babylon were allowed to return home and begin rebuilding Jerusalem and the temple. …so roughly 500 BCE If we had begun reading Isaiah 58 at verse 1, we would have heard that the people are frustrated because they have been fasting and crying out to God, but they feel God is ignoring them… Isaiah tells them that God is not ignoring them, but has, in fact, been paying very close attention… and is… not pleased. You see, they fast… while also committing injustice and abusing their workers, committing violence and causing harm to the poor and the oppressed. They give the appearance of humble worship on the sabbath… while looking only to their own interests. God… is not pleased… and declares… this is NOT the kind of fast I want! This is NOT how you honor the Sabbath! So… starting at Isaiah 58:6 [NET version], God declares… 6 This is the kind of fast I want:   I want you to remove the sinful chains, to tear away the ropes of the burdensome yoke, to set free the oppressed, and then to break every burdensome yoke. 7 I want you to share your food with the hungry and to provide homes for the homeless, oppressed people. When you see someone naked, clothe them! 8 Then your light will shine like the sunrise, your restoration will quickly arrive; your godly behavior will go before you, and the Lord's splendor will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call out, and the Lord will respond; you will cry out, and the Lord will reply, ‘Here I am.'  That… that is the kind of fast our Lord desires… that is how we honor the Sabbath… not only today, but on all days… Not by worshiping our rituals and traditions… or by declaring that our sanctuaries are no place for creativity and color… We honor the Sabbath by doing our best to love others as God loves them… by loving them and working for their liberation in precisely the way that God and Jesus and the Spirit have been telling us since the time of Moses. We don't honor the sabbath by rounding up the homeless and shipping them out to another place… we honor the sabbath by feeding and housing them… and freeing them from the burdensome yoke of poverty and oppression. That is Sabbath liberation! We don't honor the Sabbath by locking away everyone who breaks the law, no matter how minor the infraction. We honor the Sabbath by addressing the systems that drive someone to be desperate enough to commit crimes. That is Sabbath liberation! In Deuteronomy, we hear that we are to keep and honor the Sabbath… to keep it holy… for you once were slaves in Egypt, and the Lord God freed you. The Sabbath is made for liberation… from toil, from bondage, from hunger… not only for us… but for all. But how easily we forget… in our gospel, Jesus freed that poor woman from her infirmity that kept her bent over for 18 long years. Jesus freed her from the infirmity that Satan used to keep her bound up and isolated from her community… alone and ashamed. And the religious leaders have the audacity to be indignant… they don't get it… They cannot honor Sabbath liberation for themselves… while this woman, their neighbor, is still suffering under bondage. Our liberation… our true Sabbath liberation… is communal. And once we understand this… once we understand that, as Dr. Lilla Watson once said, “…your liberation is bound up with mine.” …only then does our true light shine… When we understand that our true Sabbath liberation is bound up with the liberation of the whole community… then … the Lord will guide us continually… Then… the Lord will provide for us even in parched places, and make our bones strong, and like a spring of water that never fails… When we understand that our true Sabbath liberation is communal… then we become repairers of broken walls… and restorers of livable streets. When we understand that our true Sabbath liberation is communal… Then our senses are awakened, and we recognize the work of the Holy Spirit in and through all the ways that neighbors are working together to put the needs of the full community ahead of their own selfish desires. Communities will be rebuilt, and areas that have been impoverished and deserted will flourish. Neighbors will know and care for each other for generations. Many in our culture today would call this some kind of woke, socialist agenda… but this way of living is much bigger than that… this way of living was God's design for us from the beginning. When we do this… when we decide to trust the Lord, our God and really lean into what God desires for us… Then… our Sabbath liberation becomes a delight… and a joy. This is how God asks us to honor the Sabbath… by breaking the chains of oppression… and by not tolerating injustice. The results are the reward. But hear this, friends… the work of breaking the bonds of sin and injustice to bring about full and true Sabbath liberation… is ongoing work. God knows this… and we know it, too. And so, you must also observe Sabbath rest… a holy pause… a time to stop and reflect on all God has done, and dwell in the JOY of the Lord! You do not honor God by making your productivity an idol… or by forgetting that this work against injustice can only be accomplished together. You do not honor God by trying to do it all by yourself. The Lord, your God, commands you to take a holy pause… and notice that you, and those around you, are part of a community. So, as you rest from your labors, encourage others to rest, too. Make it possible for them to do so. Worship the Lord, your God, and give thanks for all God has done for you. And if it would help you to feel more relaxed and connected… you are more than welcome to sit up front here and color. Amen.     _______________________________________________________________________ Dr. Lilla Watson (b. 1940) is a Murri (Indigenous Australian) artist, activist, and educator from Queensland, Australia. Her full quote is, “If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”

True Fasting | Isaiah 58 | Pastor Ben Spalink by GraceChurchNJ

Fr. Mike reflects on some of the ways that people turn away from God, including: worshipping idols, fasting for selfish reasons, and not honoring the sabbath. He also highlights the passage from Ezekiel 18 that tells us that each person will be judged by their own actions, and not by those of their parents or children. The readings are Isaiah 57-58, Ezekiel 17-18, and Proverbs 13:5-8. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Join Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson on Sermon Brainwave as they explore the readings for the 11th Sunday after Pentecost (August 24, 2025). This episode dives deep into Luke 13:10-17, the powerful story of Jesus healing a woman with a crooked back on the Sabbath - a healing that's really about liberation and freedom. The hosts unpack the unique aspects of this healing story, including why the woman is called a "daughter of Abraham" (the only time this phrase appears in Luke), what it means that she's "set free" rather than simply "healed," and how this story challenges our assumptions about bodies, health, and spiritual freedom. They also explore the Sabbath debate and how Jesus operates firmly within Jewish tradition while expanding our understanding of what the Sabbath is truly for. Additional readings discussed include Isaiah 58:9b-14 (or Jeremiah 1:4-10 for semi-continuous readings), Psalm 103:1-8, and Hebrews 12:18-29. The conversation touches on themes of liberation theology, biblical interpretation, prophetic calling, and the pastoral care embedded in challenging theological concepts.

Humility opens your heart, like a window letting in God's grace. In today's message, Pastor Richard reveals the call to stay humble in heart, never losing that raw admission, “I need a Savior.” Your righteousness always falls short, but Christ's perfect righteousness, gained through faith, guards you forever. Forget comparing yourself to others. Are you embracing a humble heart, relying solely on Christ's flawless righteousness?

Prayer in Jesus' name isn't a blank check; it's a lifeline to God's heart. In today's message, Pastor Richard recalls where Jesus tells His disciples to ask in His name, the name of the Savior who gave His life to redeem us. It's not about tagging His name onto any wish, but aligning your heart with His love and purpose. When you pray with that focus, God moves to help you.

Spiritual Practices | Fasting - Isaiah 58:2-10 - Paige and Bailey by Midtown Presbyterian Church

What does your approach to the Sabbath reveal about your faith? This 119 Audio Sermon issues a bold and loving challenge: are you obeying Yahweh fully, or negotiating obedience for convenience? The Sabbath is not just a rest day—it is a test of the heart. In this powerful message, we examine the heart behind Sabbath observance. Many believers look for loopholes, but Scripture reveals that the Sabbath exposes our faith, trust, and loyalty to Yahweh. Compromising Sabbath obedience is not a small issue—it reveals whether we serve Yahweh or our own comfort. This is not a call to legalism, but to wholehearted faithfulness. From Exodus to Isaiah, and from Daniel to the teachings of Yeshua, we are reminded that true obedience often comes at a cost—but disobedience costs far more. Will you pass the test? Spiritual Takeaway -  The Sabbath is more than a command—it is a test of whether we trust Yahweh above all else. 

In 1 Samuel 14 Jonathan and his armour bearer, in response to a God given sign, show immense courage by together discovering themselves to a Philistine fortress at Michmash and defeating it. The first strike of the two faithful Hebrew warriors was to destroy 20 of the foe inducing panic within the garrison- the great trembling referred to is a translation of the words meaning ‘a trembling from God'. The ensuing chaos turns soldier against soldier. Saul seizes the moment and, after foolishly uttering a self-centred oath, commands to immediately attack. Although Saul is victorious Yahweh would not answer him. Saul compounds his folly with yet another disgraceful response. The people are forced to unitedly negate Saul's oath and save Jonathan from death. The chapter concludes with Saul and his valiant sons subduing many national enemies. Isaiah, in chapter 58, outlines a nation which gave lip service to God but not from their hearts. The early verses of this chapter focus on fasting. Fasting can be of value in concentration of the mind on God. But it is of no value when those who observe it ritually forsake the principles of the Almighty. They spoke of the Sabbath and yet failed to comprehend what their Sovereign was teaching them – it was a day of support and burden lifting from those oppressed; a day of joy and not of self-affliction. If Israel embraced God's values and practiced them then Yahweh would liberate them and cause them in their minds spiritually to soar into the heavenlies. Then their minds would harmonise with their Sovereign. The New Testament opens by highlighting the promised seed, this is Jesus, central to the monumental Covenants around which much of the Old Testament is structured. Matthew 1 is the genealogy of Mary the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ through king David. Luke's account of the genealogies of our Lord Jesus Christ in Luke 3 verses 23-38 is Joseph's (Jesus' stepfather's)) lineage. Jesus' ancestral line through his mother Mary – note Luke's differs in that it gives Solomon as the progenitor of this line – who descended from David's son Nathan. The story of Matthew 1 links Mary with four other stigmatised women (Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba), who, despite their public shame were, like Mary, outstanding women of faith. These women despite being stigmatised like Mary carried their scorn in their age just as our Lord Jesus Christ was accused of being born of doubtful legitimacy throughout his life. Jesus came into existence at the time of his birth. Prior to that time he had no existence; except that His Almighty Father had structured the whole creation around the coming of His Son. The name Jesus means “the salvation of Yahweh”, as Matthew 1verse 23 tells. Matthew 2 describes the visit of the Magi and their costly gifts for the King of the Jews – a title that the Idumean Herod arrogated to himself – allowing us to date the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ to 6BC. Joseph, Mary and Jesus fled to Egypt in the fulfilment of prophecy (Hosea 11:1). The precious gifts of the wise men allowed Messiah's family to subsist in Egypt until it was time to return to their place of residence in Nazareth upon the accession of Archelaus following the death of Herod the Great in 4BC.

Fasting is one of the more mysterious aspects of walking with God. Yet God gives us clear instructions about what a true fast looks like, and it's probably not what we'd expect. Today we look at Isaiah 58 which unpacks God's clear purposes for this important aspect of spiritual life. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    When you think of the spiritual discipline of fasting, what comes to mind? Have you ever fasted? If so, why? What for? How did you do it?  2.    According to verse 1, what is the general subject matter of this message for God's people? What is Isaiah to declare to the people?  3.    The podcast warned that verse 2 is tricky to understand unless we notice that word “as”. What does the word “as” indicate? Why is this key to understanding why (in verse 3) they are not seeing “results” from their spiritual deeds? 4.    These people were “fasting” but in the wrong way. Why were they fasting in verse 4? Why would that be a problem? How do people still fast in these ways today?  5.    What is the right way to “fast” in verses 5-7? Why is this true fasting? Given what you know about fasting, is this a surprise? In light of these teachings, would you say that fasting is to seek God to align your will with these pursuits? Why or why not?  6.    What promises does the Lord give in verses 9-11? How would you describe or characterize these blessings? Why does proper fasting ensure these kinds of blessings?  7.    In verse 12, what kind of society will this kind of fasting produce? How do you think “fasting” factors into this kind of reform?  8.    Looking over verse 13, what kind of attitude ought they to have for the sabbath? What does this kind of attitude demonstrate? How is this different from the predominant attitude they had towards the sabbath? When they have these kinds of attitudes, what kinds of blessings will they receive in verse 14?  9.    How has this chapter changed your understanding of fasting? What is its purpose? What does it accomplish?  10.    Think over the next few weeks in your life. Is there a time when you can apply these principles to your own life and “fast” in the way that we see in Isaiah 58?

How do we fast correctly? How was Israel fasting?

Renier Van Der Klashorst is updating us with the work of Compassion Australia and teaching what Isaiah has to say about how we might integrate our faith and our works.

The world teaches us to get, whereas Jesus taught us to give. True life isn't found until we "lose" our life for Jesus. While this might in some cases refer to physical death, for most of us, it is metaphorical.  So, what might it look like to lose your life for Jesus before finding true life?Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.Scripture Used in Today's MessageMatthew 16:25Isaiah 58:10-12If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism experiences.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.TomthePreacher.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

Pastor Luke preached about how delighting in the Lord is the point of practicing Sabbath rest. He said in practicing Sabbath rest we delight in God's world, God's Word, and God's work. The main idea was, "Sabbath without delight misses God's heart."

In this episode of Pray the Word on Isaiah 58:6–11, David Platt calls us to pour ourselves out for those in need around us.Explore more content from Radical.

This week we continue in our series in ISAIAH called "DWELL". Today's message from Isaiah 58, is from pastor Cole Tawney and is titled “Delight in the Lord”. As followers of Jesus Christ we are called to live our relationship with Him based on our delight in knowing Him and not in the delight of our own ambitions. Thanks for watching!

Send me a Text Message!You know I look around in central PA, and it's not just here, I hear of stirrings in other places as well. I think Jesus is getting ready to bring his church into a new season; a season of seeing His Kingdom come in new ways; a season of making a serious difference in the world around us. It won't happen without prayer and breakthrough prayer is almost always connected to fasting. But Isaiah 58 reminds us that fasting and prayer isn't enough. In fact, Isaiah reminds us that while we won't make a difference if we don't pray, our prayers won't even be heard if we don't care about the people around us. But if we care, then a new day will come and you can barely imagine a life like the one Isaiah 58 says is coming!

Send me a Text Message!Here is a good Lent question, "Does God really care?" Do we matter to God? I think many of us today struggle to believe that God is father who loves to bless his kids. It's the issue of trust right? Can I trust Jesus? Can I trust God? Or do I need something to hold over him, so that he will respond to me? Do my prayers matter to God? I think one of the reasons we pray is because we care. Right? I mean how many of us spend a lot of time praying for stuff we don't care about? But I think the fact that I care will not sustain my prayers. I need to know that He cares. Because if God doesn't care, prayer doesn't matter. Right? So we ask the question in this episode, "Does God really care?" And if he does, what does he care about?
