Carl Hargrove • Isaiah 52:13–52:15 • Exalted, Marred, and Poured

This week we talk from the prophecies of the Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53 to the invitation for all nations to gather to God's holy mountain in Isaiah 56, these chapters reveal the Lord's enduring desire to dwell among His people. Christ is the centre of everything and thanks to him we can be together with our families forever.

Hosts Shelly and June Volk wrap up their series on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), exploring the prophetic meaning of the sin offering and the scapegoat in Leviticus 16. Reflecting on Isaiah 53, the call to leave spiritual comfort zones, and the purifying fire of God, they look forward to the upcoming Feast of Tabernacles and the ultimate restoration of Israel. Key Takeaways The Two Goats & Permanent Atonement: The blood sacrifice and the scapegoat foreshadowed Jesus, who bore humanity's sins once and for all, rendering annual animal sacrifices obsolete. Refusing Comfort Zones: Believers are urged to move beyond spiritual complacency (Deuteronomy 1:6) and experience the purifying fire of God to serve as a light in troubling times. Prophetic Hope for Israel: A spiritual remnant will behold the Messiah, fulfilling the promise of Romans 11:26 that "all Israel shall be saved." Anticipation of Tabernacles: The sequence of the fall feasts points toward the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), symbolizing the great ingathering where Jew and Gentile become one in Messiah. Key Bible Passages & Scripture References Isaiah 62:1 – "For Zion's sake I will not keep silent..." Leviticus 16:15, 21 – The ritual of the sin offering goat and the scapegoat on Yom Kippur. Psalm 32:1–2 – The blessing of forgiven transgression and covered sin. Isaiah 53:5–12 – The Suffering Servant bearing the iniquities and transgressions of many. Exodus 34:6–7 – The compassionate character of God who forgives iniquity and sin. Jeremiah 50:20 – Search will be made for Israel's iniquity, but none will be found. Romans 11:26 – The salvation of all Israel. Deuteronomy 1:6 – "You have stayed long enough at this mountain." Psalm 51:10–13 – King David's prayer for a clean heart and a steadfast spirit.

Hosts Shelly and June Volk continue their series on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) on For Zion's Sake. In this episode, they break down the two goats of Leviticus 16—the sin offering and the scapegoat—and explore the Hebrew definitions of three words that describe the human condition: transgression (pesha), sin (chata), and iniquity (avon). Through key passages in Isaiah 53 and Psalms, Shelly and June demonstrate how Jesus fulfilled these Old Testament shadows by bearing our full human nature on the cross to offer complete redemption. Key Takeaways: The Two Goats Defined: The first goat provided the blood sacrifice for the sin offering, while the live scapegoat received the hands of the high priest to bear away all the iniquities, transgressions, and sins into the wilderness. Three Aspects of Human Nature: Transgression (Pesha): Rebellion and breaking away from God's image. Sin (Chata): Missing the mark or being led astray. Iniquity (Avon): Perversity, crookedness, and the inherited fallen nature. Fulfillment in Isaiah 53: Written 700 years before the Messiah, Isaiah 53 explicitly uses all three terms to show that Jesus would be wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, and made an offering for sin. Passover vs. Yom Kippur: While Jesus died during Passover as the Lamb of God, His sacrifice simultaneously fulfilled the spiritual atonement and scapegoat pattern demonstrated during Yom Kippur. Future Hope for Israel: A ultimate Day of Atonement awaits when the nation of Israel recognizes the Messiah and enters into complete spiritual restoration (Zechariah 12:10). Scripture References: Isaiah 62:1 – "For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet..." Leviticus 23 – The appointed times and feasts of the Lord. Leviticus 16:15–22 – The instructions for the sin offering goat and the scapegoat. Genesis 1:26 & Genesis 3 – Creation in God's image and the fall of man. Isaiah 53:5–12 – The prophecy of the Suffering Servant bearing transgressions, iniquities, and sin. Zechariah 12:10 – Looking upon Him whom they have pierced. Psalm 32:1–2 – "How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered..."

When it is nearly over,  you might just have a chance to HOPE in the name and power of someone.  Will you, on your deathbed, call out for the name of Jeff Bezos, John Lennon or Grace Kelly? I'm guessing not.Jesus reminds us that 600 years prior, Isaiah prophesied about the Suffering Servant who was to come.  He is the One that I'd recommend putting your HOPE in. Listen 7 minutes to the words of Isaiah, from the mouth of Jesus, about who to hope in. https://youtu.be/aSVBj54M4Ww

Subject: Exodus: Delivered to DwellSpeaker or Performer: Pastor Tracy JohnsonScripture Passage(s): Acts 8:26-40Date of Delivery: September 20, 2026

A @Christadelphians Video:Description: This is a deep-dive study delivered to encourage Christadelphians in their faith, - may not be suitable for 'all' esp those with little knowledge of the Bible. A detailed comparison of the First Letter of Peter in the New Testament and the life of King Hezekiah in the Old Testament reminds us that trusting completely in the God of Israel will bring us eternal salvation. This is how the Lord Jesus Christ was able to endure his sufferings. And it will help us too. [Actual, provable Bible Truth]: The Apostle Peter, writing to believers facing intense persecution, does not promise an escape from suffering. Instead, he offers a profound, counter-intuitive strategy for enduring it: we must learn to fear God more than we fear man. This is not a fear of terror, but a deep, reverential awe that reorients our entire perspective, allowing us to see our trials through the lens of God's eternal purpose.This expositional study of 1 Peter chapter 2 is a truly outstanding and thought-provoking journey into the heart of what it means to be a disciple under pressure. We go beyond the surface to uncover the hidden treasures of the Old Testament that Peter masterfully weaves into his message of hope. Prepare to be amazed as we reveal how Peter uses the lives of Old Testament heroes—David, Hezekiah, and Daniel—as the ultimate pattern for our conduct in a hostile world.This isn't just a history lesson; it's a powerful, revealing blueprint for our own lives today. Whether you are facing subtle pressures or profound suffering, this analysis will strengthen your resolve and deepen your trust in the God of all grace. We break down the key themes of the chapter, from our identity as "living stones" and a "royal priesthood" to the ultimate example of Christ's patient suffering. Discover how the call to "sanctify God in your hearts" is the single most important principle for navigating the fiery trials of our age.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction to Suffering in 1 Peter01:55 - The Key Theme of Persecution03:30 - Context: The Calling of the Saints05:03 - Nero's Persecution & The Fiery Trial06:45 - Newborn Babes: The Call to Grow11:05 - Psalm 34: Fearing God Over Man14:52 - Living Stones: The Hezekiah Connection17:43 - Isaiah 28: Trusting the Cornerstone22:44 - The Stone of Stumbling & The Fear of God27:54 - A Royal Priesthood & Our High Calling36:04 - Strangers and Pilgrims in Gentile Lands38:40 - The Suffering Servant of Isaiah 5344:39 - Conclusion: The Daniel Connection & Resisting Babylon**Bible Verse Category:**

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) William discusses the Old Testament prophecies of Jesus as Suffering Servant.

We're kicking off our fall series, The Main Thing: Living Like Jesus, through the Gospel of Luke. Together, we'll explore the identity, life, mission, and ongoing impact of Jesus and what it means to align our lives with his. Luke begins with eyewitness accounts that point us to the heart of the story: Jesus. From the temple to the Jordan River, Jesus' identity is clear. He is the Son, the promised King, and the Suffering Servant. Before his ministry even begins, Jesus knows who he is and what he came to do. And through him, we're invited into God's family, where we find intimacy with our Father, safety in him, and a new community as brothers and sisters.

Dr. John explores Jesus' rebuke of the Emmaus disciples (Luke 24:25-27) for being "slow of heart" to believe all the prophets said about the Messiah. He argues Scripture — better called the First Testament — is too often flattened into morality tales rather than read as one story of a suffering, then glorified, Savior. Using Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, he shows why the cross wasn't a detour from God's plan, but its fulfillment.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again. But in this 15-part series through Luke 23-24, Dr. John Neufeld shows why these familiar chapters still reward careful study, tracing the trials before Pilate and Herod and the road to the cross. Along the way, he uncovers details unique to Luke's account that reveal what kind of King Jesus truly is.

2025.11.25 NCU Chapel Thomas Valtierra III The Suffering Servant

The Bible forgot to tell us what Jesus actually looked like, so ye olde artists just went with: really, really, really ridiculously good-looking. And almost always naked for some reason?Christianity somehow ended up with a silky-haired, muscular, half-naked thirst trap Jesus who has been turning church pews into awkward puberty chambers for centuries. We follow handsome Jesus from the supposedly ugly Suffering Servant of Isaiah through Renaissance abs, transparent loincloths, exposed genitals and Michelangelo's beefcake Messiah — all the way to the 2024 “Sexy Jesus” poster that sent conservative Christians into an outrage spiral. Along the way we investigate Jesus' alleged beard, the theological importance of his junk, and Christianity's deeply weird relationship with sex, nudity and homosexuality. Fully scripted. Heavily produced. Featuring the two best Ninja Turtles and Lexi repeatedly discovering that Italian and Latin are apparently not pronounced the way they look.  Patreon -Join us on Patreon for unsolicited Jesus dikpix! (Maybe.) But you definitely get 2 bonus episodes a month, early ad-free listening, and exclusive extras — no homosexuality-as-a-weapon required.

Message from Aaron Elmore on August 30, 2026

What does Zophar say that is right?1. 20:5 The triumphing of the wicked is short- Ps. 37:2, 9, 10, 35-36; Ps. 73:18-20; Prov. 10:2; 11:18; 13:11; 22:16.2. 20:6-7 The LORD will bring down the pride of the wicked- Prov. 11:2; 16:18; 18:12; 29:23 Matt. 23:12; Luke 14:11; 18:14.3. 20:8 The wicked will disappear like a dream- Ps. 73:19-20.4. 20:9 Wicked will soon be gone- Ps. 37:35-36; his place will deny him- 20:9; Ps. 103:16.5. 20:11 The wicked dies a premature death- Ps. 55:23; Prov. 2:22; 10:27. 6. 20:24-25 The wicked cannot escape God's judgment- Amos 5:18-20. How does Zophar point to Job as the wicked man?Zophar uses Job's own words against him. Things Job used to describe his status are said by Zophar to be pictures of the evil man. 1. 20:4 Job knows his redeemer lives (19:25), but he does not know these time-honored truths. This seems to be a mockery of Job's claim to know. 2. 20:9 Job spoke of “eye that will see him no more” in 7:8. Zophar uses this to describe the wicked man. 3. 20:9 the wicked man's “place no longer beholds him” was spoken by Job in 7:10.4. 20:16 poison fills the wicked 6:45. 20:23 Job's children are killed when they are eating- 1:13, 18-19.6. 20:25 God shoots arrows at Job in 6:4; 16:13 and the arrows do great damage 16:13.7. 20:26 The fire of God devours and consumes in 1:16.8. 20:27 heavens and earth reveal his sin- 16:18-19 and 20:27 will rise up against him- 19:25.What is wrong what Zophar says?1. The Bible does emphasize that wickedness ends in disaster. That is different, however, from thinking that all who experience disaster are wicked. 2. It is striking that the friends focus on material loss. Are they materialist in the sense that they think the greatest of gains are material possessions?3. In the last words of all the speeches by the friends in the first round, there was a call to return to God and the promise of blessings that will bring (5:17-27; 8:20-22; 11:13-20).In the second round each of speeches, end their speeches with only words of judgment about the wicked who do not know God (15:34-35; 18:21; 20:29). Job's time for repentance may be over from the friend's perspective. Zophar does not mention anything of God's mercy or compassion. Zophar intends this to announce Job's judgment and not to offer him a chance to repent.  We do not preach, teach, and warn friends against their sin only to leave them in their distress, but we do so to point them back to the God who saves. 4. They think all God's scores must be settled in this life. “In the long term the righteous are blessed and the wicked are punished, but the long term extends beyond this life.”[1] Job 20 and Jesus20:3 The word translated reproof in the NASB, NET in this verse is used to describe the chastening of the Suffering servant in Isaiah 53:5. Zophar was not willing to endure Job's reproofs, but the Suffering Servant was willing to endure them on our behalf. Most of all Jesus answers Job 20 by demonstrating that one may look so guilty but indeed be innocent. It happened to Job and it happened to Jesus. [1] Longman, 271. Hailey, 183, 165, 186 has good statements about Zophar's statements about the ultimate destiny of the wicked being true but that does not always work itself out in this life. 

Interim Associate Pastor Dustin Malone preaches form the book of Matthew 8 on the Authority of the Suffering Servant.

Who is Job? Notice… 1.The Place of Job v.1a 2.The Person of Job v.1b 3.The Piety of Job v.1c, 5 Blameless and Upright Feared God Turned away from evil 4. The Prosperity of Job v. 2-4 We see at least four kinds of suffering in Job's life. 1. Sovereign Suffering 1:6-12, 2:1-8 2. Sanctified Suffering 1:13-20, 2:9-10a 3. Sinless Suffering 1:21-22, 2:10b 4. Shared Suffering 2:11-13 In Job we see Jesus!

Fr. Mike marvels at the beauty of Isaiah 53, which reveals that Jesus is the Lord's suffering servant and also zeroes in on Ezekiel 15, which reminds us that without God we are like a useless vine that bears no fruit. Today we read Isaiah 53-54, Ezekiel 14-15, and Proverbs 12:25-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Who Is the Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53? A Comparison of the Views

Old Testament prophecy can be difficult to fully understand, even when a partial interpretation is provided. On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg demonstrates how Daniel's prophetic vision has historical relevance as well as a future warning and assurance. ----------------------------------------- • Click here and look for "FROM THE SERMON" to stream or read the full message. • This program is part of the series A Study in Daniel' • Learn more about our current resource, request your copy with a donation of any amount. • Free Ebook!

When we talk about David, our minds almost always jump to the story of David and Goliath. The unassuming shepherd boy who God used to defeat the Philistines. This shepherd would eventually become King, the best human King that Israel had in fact. But today, we see the other side of David in the Psalms. We’ll see how David suffered unrighteously and felt God had abandoned him; we’ll also see however when David cried out in repentance, God was faithful to restore David. David was human and needed forgiveness for his sins; however, the beautiful truth is that Psalm 22 is not just about David – it is prefiguring Jesus on the cross, who on our behalf, endures the wrath of God for our sins. Yet, just as the Psalm says, God did not abandon Him; three days later, Jesus rose from the dead as proof that His sacrifice was true and good, and that the Father found what He had done and was well pleased. Jesus didn’t need the forgiveness found in Psalm 51 – but He is the one who offers it to any who will cry out to Him. The Serpent would have us believe that Jesus was only a good teacher, or a capable Prophet, but not the Messiah who was predicted and spoken of by David; Jesus crushes the Serpent by proving definitively that He is the Messiah, the long-awaited Son of Man who gave His life for His people.

Believers are called to endure unjust suffering with faith, trusting that God honors those who suffer for doing good. Jesus is the supreme example: though sinless, Christ endured rejection and suffering with retaliation, entrusting Himself to God’s justice. Yet His suffering was more than an example. As the Suffering Servant, He bore our sins so that we might die to sin and live righteously. Having been brought back to God through Christ, believers are set apart by responding to suffering with the same trust, humility and faithfulness that marked their Savior.

When Jesus healed a man who'd been blind since birth, why didn't everyone celebrate the miracle?
