Podcasts about Servant songs

The mystery of Advent speaks to that waiting. Not just the waiting for a holiday, but that longing for something more, something better than this we currently inhabit. A world made new. The good news of the gospel is that we can wait with confidence, because that's the world promised in Jesus Christ.   Throughout the season, we explore the Servant Songs of the Book of Isaiah and the unique way they point us to the Messiah who has come in Jesus and is coming again to make all things new, fulfilling the deepest longing of our hearts.   Our prayer is that as we do, Jesus will meet us in our weakness and our waiting – our longing! — and together we will discover afresh the God who is both with us and for us.   Sermon recorded December 21, 2025 Lead Pastor Caleb Click Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church Birmingham, AL

Jim Osman delivers a powerful exposition of Isaiah 52:13-53:12, examining the prophetic portrait of the Messiah who was born a sacrifice for humanity's sin. This message explores the dual nature of Christ's mission—living and dying as a man while simultaneously living and dying for men as their substitutionary sacrifice. Osman traces the biographical pattern revealed in Isaiah's prophecy: Christ's pre-existent glory, his humiliation through suffering and death, and his ultimate exaltation.The teaching emphasizes that Jesus was born a sacrifice, destined from eternity to bear the iniquities of many and make intercession for transgressors. Through careful exegesis, Osman demonstrates how Isaiah prophesied the Servant's physical suffering, the marring of his appearance beyond recognition, and his voluntary submission to God's will. This Christmas message reveals that Christ was uniquely born a sacrifice—not merely to live among us, but to die for us, accomplishing the redemption that only a perfect, sinless substitute could achieve for guilty sinners. ★ Support this podcast ★

We conclude our Servant Songs series by looking at how Peter, who walked closely with the Servant, applied the Servant Songs to churches just like us

What can we learn about evangelism from one of the most detailed conversion stories in the New Testament? We turn to Acts 8 and look at Philip, the Ethiopian man who came to Jesus, and how God used one of the Servant Songs

A childless old woman who is drunk on wine is about as defenceless and vulnerable as life can get in Old Testament times. This woman who represents the city of Jerusalem has been brought down by her own personal four horsemen: ruin, destruction, famine and sword. She is inconsolable and her children are as powerless as she is, lying unconscious on the ground like an antelope caught in a net and which has fainted from fear. The prophet Isaiah is one of literature's great poets and his book is rich in metaphors like this one.I hope you love it as much as I do.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffSend any comments or feedback to contact@whollybuyable.comX: @WhollyBuyable

Hard as it may be to believe that freedom and a return to Jerusalem are just around the corner for Israel's exiled Jews, Isaiah does what he can to impress upon his readers that this is exactly what is about to happen.He also appears to spell out in uncanny detail that a man is coming who will be verbally and physically abused for the wrongdoings of everyone else, and that he will be "a light to the Gentiles."For good reason, Christians see Jesus Christ as this man, making Isaiah one of the hottest and best loved prophets in the entire Bible.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music.Cover art by Lisa GoffSend comments and feedback to contact@whollybuyable.comX: @WhollyBuyable

There are fourth Servant Songs in the second section of Isaiah. They tell us of a servant and they define what the servant is called to do and how the servant will accomplish the mission. Today we are exploring Isaiah 42:1-9, the first of the Servant Songs.

Isaiah has four servant songs about the Messiah as a servant. What are they? Let's find out together as we read Mark 10:35-45 and Isaiah 50.

A man who will be "a light to the Gentiles" and who will "open the eyes of the blind and set the prisoners free."It's easy to see how Christians believe Isaiah was predicting the arrival of Jesus.But the prophet promises action much sooner, and much closer to home.In a move unprecedented in Near Eastern history, Persia's king will set his Israelite captives free. Isaiah predicts this, and its easy to see how people join the dots: if the prophet called the release from exile ahead of time, who's to say he wasn't not right about everything else?Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffSend any comments or feedback to contact@whollybuyable.com

We begin our series on the Servant Songs by emphasizing how important this concept of Jesus being "God's servant" was to the early Christians. Then, we sweep through Isaiah 40 & 41 to set the stage for the historical significance of God's chosen servant coming to fulfill God's gospel plan.

Message from Terry Williams on July 20, 2025

The New Covenant is one of the most important topics we can understand about the plan of God among people. Yet even though it's the covenant we're in right now with God, many Christians don't understand it. Today, in our study of Isaiah 42, we're going to look at one of the earliest references to the New Covenant found in the Old Testament. Join us for the key study in this key chapter! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Isaiah 42 continues to build on the idea that a New Kingdom is coming. In verse 1, we find out that the leader of this kingdom is also a servant. Who is He a servant of? What does that indicate about His own nature and character? 2. The podcast explained that Isaiah 42 is one of several “Servant Songs” in the book of Isaiah. The four “Servant Songs” are found in Isaiah 42, 49, 50 & 53. What is a "Servant Song”? Why is it important to know about these “Servant Songs” when interpreting these passages? 3. Look over verse 1 again. How do we see the fingerprints of the Trinity in this verse? 4. Many Jewish people say that the servant here is the nation of Israel. While that is true in Isaiah 41:8-9, what were some of the reasons given in the podcast for why Israel is not the Servant here in Isaiah 42? Why is this “new” (or different) Servant necessary? 5. Verse 1 also speaks to the nature of the reign of the Servant. What kind of kingdom He establish? 6. In verses 2 to 4, how does He go about establishing this kingdom? In these verses, does it sound like Christ's kingdom expanding through conquest? How would you say that this kingdom is being established in these verses? How do we see this prophecy working out in our world today? 7. How does verse 5 show us the accountability that all people have to God? 8. Isaiah 42 introduces one of the earliest passages in the Bible about the New Covenant. In verse 6, what covenant is God appointing the Servant to bring to the nations? According to the podcast, what is the significance of the Lord's plan to move on from the Mosaic covenant? 9. In verse 7, why does the Lord characterize people's entrance into this kingdom as having blind eyes opened and being freed from dungeons? How did Jesus echo these principles in His Gospel proclamations? 10. In verses 10 to 12, what is the atmosphere of this kingdom? 11. Verses 13 to 15 speak of a different time period in the establishment of this kingdom. Verses 2 to 4 speak of Jesus' first coming and how He works in the world now. Verses 13 to 15 speak of His Second Coming when He will judge the nations and finally and fully establish His kingdom. How are these two interactions with mankind different? Why are they so different? 12. Verses 16 to 25 speak of the spiritual condition of mankind. What is the dominant malady of people described in these verses? What are the various responses to the Lord that are given in these verses? What accounts for these differences? What does this look like in our world today? How were you once blind?

In this episode, we explore Solomon's prayer at the dedication of the Temple in 1 Kings 8:22-30—a monumental moment in the story of the Bible. The construction of the Temple marks a major development in how God chooses to dwell with His people, not just identifying with Israel as a nation, but also with the city of Jerusalem and the Temple itself. Yet even as Solomon celebrates this, he acknowledges that God's presence is not confined to a building. Notably, God says that His Name will dwell there—a mysterious concept that both distinguishes and intertwines with other divine figures like the Angel of the Lord and the Spirit of God.But this episode also zooms in on how Solomon sees himself. He repeatedly calls himself and Israel “God's servant,” which stands in contrast to how God has spoken of Israel and David's royal line primarily as sons. While “servant” is a noble term and later becomes rich with prophetic significance—especially in Isaiah's “Servant Songs”—it still falls short of the intimacy and authority that comes from the status of sonship. Could Solomon's preference for “servant” over “son” reveal a deeper disconnect in how he viewed his relationship with God? And could this lack of sonship be a clue to his eventual fall?We close by drawing a powerful comparison to Jesus, the true Son of David, who fully embodies the “Servant of the Lord” prophesied in Isaiah 42:1-4 and quoted in Matthew 12:15-21. Jesus, unlike Solomon, delights and satisfies the longings in the heart of the Father to live in full and unhindered relatiojnship with an Israelite King. Jesus sees people not for their failures, but for their potential, partnering with God to restore what's broken and bring people into their true identity and destiny. Where Solomon fell short, Jesus kept going, showing us what it truly means to be both the Servant and the Son of the Father.Key Passages:1 Kings 8:22-30 Matthew 12:15-21Explainer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on how to use ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.biblehub.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.blueletterbible.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a question or comment at our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website podcast page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music

There are 5 Servant Songs in Isaiah.  This is a look at 3 of them.

Fr. Mike continues to explore the joint mission of the Word and Spirit in the Old and New Testaments. Together, we unpack how the Holy Spirit has been moving the prophets, particularly the prophet Isaiah. We learn how the characteristics of the Messiah are revealed, above all, in the “Servant Songs.” We also examine the Holy Spirit's role in John the Baptist recognizing Christ as Messiah, even from within the womb. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 711-720. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Daily Dose of Hope December 9, 2024 Day 2 of Week 37 Scripture: Isaiah 49-52; Psalm 69; 1 Corinthians 14 Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading.    Let's start with chapter 49 of Isaiah.  This is a critical chapter in the book.  In it, God reveals his plan to redeem Israel through the Messiah.  This is a message of hope, though, not just to the Jews but to all the world.  Chapter 50 is also interesting; it forms part of the "Servant Songs,” which were prophecies that characterize the people of Israel or the coming Messiah as a servant. This chapter discusses the servant's steadfast obedience, willingness to suffer, and his trust in God.  Finally, chapters 51-52 speak of God's faithfulness and mercy. He will redeem his people and make good on his covenant by sending a Messiah.   Now, let's head over to the New Testament, 1 Corinthians 14.  The bulk of this chapter has to do with the speaking of tongues. Paul is not against speaking in tongues but he is clear that tongues benefits the speaker more than the listener. Prophecy, on the other hand, benefits the listeners. This is a passage often taken out of context. Yes, tongues are a gift of the Spirit and for many people, tongues provide an intimate way to communicate with God. But within the context of worship, tongues (spoken publicly) are appropriate only if there is an interpreter. According to Paul, the question to always ask is “Does this build up the body of Christ?”   Speaking of taking passages out of context, the second half of this chapter about good order in worship has been misused by many. Is Paul saying that women need to always be silent in church? No, he isn't, as he is supportive of women's participation in worship in other passages. Just a few chapters before this, in I Corinthians 11:5, Paul mentioned women praying and prophesying aloud in worship.   What does he mean in today's text? Keep in mind, this is a pastoral letter that is addressing a specific situation in a specific place. Corinth was a wild, out of control place. These women have grown up being influenced by this environment. Don't get me wrong, the Greek and Roman world was still highly patriarchal and women had little if any rights or privileges. But in the church, women were valued and had a certain degree of freedom. They could learn, speak, pray, and work alongside the men in many ways. Most likely, in this situation, there was confusion and disorder in the church worship and Paul needed to address it. The Greek word used in the text for speak actually is better translated “chattering.” Most likely, these women were interrupting worship with their constant chattering. Maybe they were asking questions. Maybe they were talking amongst themselves. We really don't know. This leads to an important point. We cannot pick certain Scripture verses and pull them out of their contexts, trying to force an application today. What's important is to look at what the whole Biblical narrative says about a certain topic. Does the whole Biblical narrative insist women be silent in worship OR do we see women lifted up by Jesus, involved in the ministry of the early church, and working as effective prophets, leaders, and teachers (often praised by Paul)? When one or two verses seem out of place, contradicting the rest of the Biblical narrative, then there is probably a deeper meaning behind them. The key is go deeper, study, learn the context and background, and try to discern the author's original intention.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki
