Podcast appearances and mentions of king isaiah

Aug 10, 2026 Daily Devotional: “Judge, Lawgiver, and King”Isaiah 33:22 "For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us." ​In modern democracy, society relies on a separation of powers—the judicial, legislative, and executive branches—to keep any single human from abusing authority. Humanity has learned through experience that no single person can be trusted with absolute control; power corrupts us too easily. Yet, when Isaiah points to God, he intentionally bundles altogether ​Our Judge, the Judicial - He evaluates with complete truth and perfect justice. Our Lawgiver - the Legislative - He establishes the laws of life and moral truth. ​Our King, the Executive - He holds absolute authority and power to execute His sovereign will. ​If a human claimed all three roles, it would lead to tyranny. But when God holds them, it produces complete peace. Why? Because the verse ends with a breathtaking promise of God's character: "He will save us." His ultimate motive isn't to crush us under His legislation or execute judgment out of malice. Rather, as the righteous Lawgiver and Judge, He saw our inability to meet His standards. As our compassionate King, He stepped into human history through Jesus Christ to pay the penalty on our behalf. ​When life feels chaotic or unpredictable, it's often because we try to step into those roles ourselves. We try to be our own judge, agonizing over our past mistakes. We try to be our own lawgiver, inventing our own rules for fulfillment.We try to be our own king, frantically trying to control every outcome. ​Isaiah 33:22 invites us to lay down those burdens. You don't have to rule your life, dictate the cosmic rules, or pass ultimate judgment. The God who holds absolute power uses it to rescue you. True freedom comes from yielding the "executive branch" of your life to the true King. You don't need to fear God's judgment when you are covered by the salvation He freely gives. His laws are not meant to restrict your joy, but to protect your heart. ​At its core, Isaiah 33:22 is a declaration of complete trust in God's supreme authority, written during a time when Judah was facing national crisis and military threats from the Assyrian Empire. Human kings, treaties, and legal systems had failed them, so Isaiah reminds the people that ultimate governance and protection rest with God.

Isaiah 2:3-4 with Pastor Greg Denham

The Light That Reveals the King – Isaiah 9:1-7 by Redemption Church

"Home" is an idea that has captivated the popular imagination. We all long for home, even if we find it hard to describe. In Isaiah 35, we see a restored vision of God, our home, and our very lives through the long-awaited King.

Man can live about 40 days without food, about three days without water, and about eight minutes without air, but man cannot live a second without hope. Our world is filled with hopelessness. It burdens my heart to think about how many people walk through the doors of LBC each week in a state of hopelessness. A business executive who has let the pursuit of worldly success ruin her life and lead her down a path of destruction. A father who has lost his job and feels embarrassed and humiliated. A man or woman who has received a devastating health diagnosis. My prayer is that as they arrive here at LBC, they would begin to find hope. Not a hope that is found in a program or even a payment but a hope that is found in the person of Jesus Christ. Biblical hope comes from a divine intervention. God Himself entering into time and space and history to save us from our dark and sinful condition. Isaiah 9 reminds us of that hope. Isaiah 9 is Isaiah’s way of saying, “Keep your fork!” The story isn’t over. The best is yet to come. Hope is on the way! I pray you will make plans today to join us for worship this weekend as we examine the hope of Christmas in a prophecy made 700 years in advance of Christ’s birth. “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” — Isaiah 9:6 In Christ, Pastor Chad

Pastor Patrick Harrison "The Glorious Reign of the King" Isaiah 11:3-10

The hope we have during Advent season (and all the time) is knowing that God is with us. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.

The peace we have during Advent (and all the time) is rooted in our identity in Christ. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.

The love we receive from Christ will be fully experienced at His second advent. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.

There are many bitter things we see in our world and in our lives. These things produce a longing in our hearts for something more, something better, and something that lasts longer than our lifetimes. This is where Isaiah's prophetic vision of the shoot and root of Jesse in Isaiah 11:1-10 plays a key role in our expectations of the long-awaited King. Jesus is the righteous king we need, who invites us to live in his renewed kingdom now and for all eternity.

When we think about Jesus and Christmas, we normally think about the baby in the manger. But the image the Bible gives us is one of a conquering king. Jesus came to conquer our enemy, Satan, but he came to conquer our deepest problem: the darkness in our hearts, sin. We once lived in darkness, oppression, and rebellion, but Isaiah 9:1-7 gets us ready for the Triumphant King who has come to conquer the darkness of our lives to give us light and freedom.

While the world around us is in shambles, we are reminded this Christmas that we are part of a Kingdom with a King that is eternal, filled with peace and joy!

When John the Baptist went out preaching repentance and baptism, even Pharisees and Sadducees took notice. They came out to hear him and to be baptized. But he called them out calling them a brood of vipers and wanting to know who warned them to flee the wrath to come! Many think that John is utterly rejecting them, but he is making sure they understand what they are doing. They think they are righteous, so why would they need repentance? But if they need repentance, then they are not really righteous! We need to be wary ourselves of thinking we are good to go in this life and must continually return to this call of repentance and need to bear fruit that reflects our repentance.Image: St. John the Baptist Preaching, Mattia Preti, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Advent begins our wait by lifting our eyes where Isaiah lifts his—to the mountain of the Lord. There, many nations stream upward to Zion while the Lord's own Word flows downward to meet them. In a world searching for a king who brings peace and truth, Isaiah shows us where to look— to the King whose teaching goes out from Zion and whose light calls us to walk in his ways.Vicar Schroeder's sermon preached at Faith on November 30, 2025.

BEHOLD THE KING - ADVENT SERMON SERIES – WEEK 1 -  BEHOLD OUR HOPE

We like to plan. But, oftentimes, our planning reflects a desire to be in control of our lives rather than giving control to God. This is the exact spot King Ahaz finds himself in Isaiah 7. Israel and Aram have come against him, and rather than asking the Lord for his help, he has already made plans to go to Assyria for help. It's in Ahaz's example and Isaiah's prophetic sign that we see our sinful rebellion requires Christ to be the present and sovereign king.

Where the ungodly are under judgment, repentance is their path to hope. The Lord is not merely the One who sits in the heavens in judgment; He is the great King who preserves His people.

God is King (Isaiah 10:5-34) - Evening Sermon

What comes to mind when you think about God?In this powerful sermon, we are invited to elevate our understanding of God's holiness by encountering the King Isaiah saw in Isaiah 6—a throne not at eye-level, but high and lifted up. This is the same King revealed in John 12: Jesus Christ. The one worshiped by angels in heaven, who arrives in humility on earth.He is not like us—He is set apart, utterly holy, and yet He draws near. Through Scripture, we trace the tension between transcendence and tenderness: a Holy King who humbles Himself to redeem sinful people.Come face-to-face with the glory of God—and leave with a deeper awe of grace.

Receive the King (Isaiah 9:6-7) - Pastor Brett Barton

Special Christmas Eve Message

Senior Pastor Damein Schitter continues our Advent series, Seeing Everyone Enjoy the King, preaching from Isaiah 65:17-25.  Anchored in God's promises, Pastor Damein confronts the pitfalls of complacency and triumphalism in our pursuit of hope for the future. Complacency risks making us passive, while triumphalism tempts us to rely solely on human effort. Through inspiring examples of redemptive entrepreneurship and community-focused initiatives, Pastor Damein explains how a hope grounded in God's future work can inspire meaningful action today. His sermon emphasizes the call to align our efforts with God's values, fostering justice and love for our neighbors.Hope is more than just a comforting idea—it's a sustaining force, an unshakeable certainty rooted in Christ's work. With that in mind, Pastor Damein explains how biblical imagery and even pop culture, like the Hunger Games, highlights the power of hope to transcend fear and sustain us through life's challenges. He closes by inviting God's presence into both our joyous and sorrowful moments, preparing our hearts for the ultimate fulfillment of His promise.
