Jim Osman delivers a powerful exposition of Isaiah 61:1-2, exploring the prophetic announcement that unto us is born a Savior who would bring deliverance from sin. This Christmas message examines how Jesus perfectly fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy, demonstrating that he was born a Savior anointed by the Spirit to proclaim good news to the afflicted and liberty to captives.Osman carefully traces how Christ's mission centers on preaching the gospel of salvation by Yahweh's grace rather than political liberation or social reform. The teaching emphasizes that Jesus was uniquely born a Savior—sent to heal the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom to prisoners of sin, and announce the favorable year of the Lord. Through meticulous exegesis, Osman shows how this passage reveals the Savior's divine commission, his Spirit-empowered ministry, and the good news of redemption he came to proclaim.This exposition demonstrates that Christ was born a Savior specifically to accomplish spiritual salvation, fulfilling Old Testament scripture and bringing hope to those enslaved by sin through the transforming power of God's grace. ★ Support this podcast ★
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.” Isaiah's words paint a vivid picture of the Messiah's mission: proclaiming liberty to captives, opening the prison to those who are bound, and announcing the year of the LORD's favor. In part 11 of our special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we explore the Servant who clothes His people with garments of salvation and robes of righteousness. These words will one day be read from a synagogue scroll in Nazareth as Jesus declares that this Scripture is fulfilled in their hearing. The Rev. Dan Eddy, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Beloit, WI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Isaiah 61:1–11. To learn more about Messiah Lutheran, visit mlcbeloit.com. This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh." Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In this message from our From Ruin to Redemption: The Gospel According to Isaiah series, Pastor Dave Hentschel walks through Isaiah 61:1–11 to reveal God's promise of the reset we all long for. Speaking to weary hearts marked by loss, regret, captivity, and brokenness, Isaiah announces the arrival of God's Anointed Servant—the Messiah—who comes to bring good news to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for captives, and declare the year of the Lord's favor. This passage shows that God's plan is not mere improvement or reform, but full restoration: beauty instead of ashes, joy instead of mourning, and righteousness that springs up like a new Eden before all nations. Ultimately, this promised reset is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who stands in the synagogue and declares that Isaiah's words are accomplished in Him.Isaiah 61 reminds us that we are not forever defined by what has ruined us—because in Jesus, God has come to reset, restore, and redeem.
Isaiah 61 | Lessons and Carols | Dean Miller | December 21, 2025 In Isaiah 61 we see how God is still working through His Spirit to heal the brokenhearted and fulfill His Kingdom on earth. The message highlights that believers are not merely observers of this divine narrative but are active participants recruited to […]
The Good News of Salvation Isaiah 61:1-3(Alan Buckley)
Isaiah 61:10-1110 I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God.For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow,so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.
Isaiah 61;3,7-9They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. 7 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion,and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.8 “For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing.In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an everlasting covenant with them.9 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples.All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”
Isaiah 61:3-6They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. 4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated;they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.6 And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God.
Isaiah 61:1,3The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent meto comfort all who mourn,3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
Not much is known about the prophet Malachi, (whose name means “my messenger”), but contextual clues suggest that this was written after the exile had ended. Enthusiasm for right worship of God had waned, and Malachi exhorts the priests to honor the Lord. Uniquely, Malachi presents his prophesy using a conversational pattern between the priests and the Lord God, wherein God makes a claim, the priests respond by asking questions, and subsequently the Lord answers. This book is a mixture of indictment and hope, pointing those who are indifferent to God's ordinances to worship rightly while encouraging the faithful to stay the course and receive the Lord's favor.Malachi 1 - 1:12 .

Hello,Kindly listen to the teaching titled SENT TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY (Isaiah 61:1) by Mrs. Maureen Bukenya from the Overnight on Friday, 12th December 2025
Nathan Cory from YWAM Brisbane preached on The Gospel of the Kingdom speaking out of Isaiah 61:1-3.
In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
In this teaching, we dive into the life-changing message of Isaiah 61 and explore what it truly means to live as people anointed, restored, and empowered by God. Jesus declared this passage fulfilled when He announced that the Kingdom of God had arrived—not as a distant hope, but as a present reality breaking into the world through Him and now through us. We look at how the gospel is not merely an escape plan but an invitation to bring heaven to earth, carrying healing, freedom, and restoration wherever we go. You'll be encouraged to lay down false identities, reject the lies of the enemy, and embrace the truth of who you are in Christ: an oak of righteousness, a priest of the Lord, and a carrier of the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead. This teaching invites you to remember who you are and step with boldness into the calling and authority God has given you.

They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated…"

We could easily read Isaiah's message of hope as singularly directed to ourselves and our individual moment. However, gaining a clearer picture of how Isaiah offered his prophecies and how they may have been received broadens the possibility of our hope.
The Servant came to bring good news for the poor. Jesus came for the poor, the needy and the wanting and longs to use us to reach his lost sheep.

Isaiah 61, The Annointed Servant, His Mission, and Its Effect - Ken Rucker - 9-21-2025 by NewBranch
This week's sermon highlighted that priests, followers of Jesus, aren't simply spectators or dreamers. True priests let their hearts be moved by the world's brokenness, and step into that brokenness with action. Through the stories of Nehemiah and the prophecy of Isaiah, we see that God's people are called to: feel a “holy burden” for the ruins around them, step into those ruins with hope, persevere through opposition, and build for generations to come.Support the show
