"Comfort, comfort my people, says your God." With these words, Isaiah delivers a beautiful proclamation of hope to a people in exile. In part 5 of a special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we encounter the "Voice" crying in the wilderness. This Voice is St. John the Baptist, the herald who prepares the way for the Lord. He calls sinners to repentance, pointing to the truth that while all flesh is like grass that withers and fades, the Word of our God stands forever, and the Messiah has come.  The Rev. Robert Smith, pastor emeritus in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Isaiah 40:1–11  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.

"And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb." In the quiet hill country of Judea, the first confession of faith in the New Testament is made not by a scholar, but by an unborn child in the presence of the Incarnate Lord. In part 4 of a special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we witness the joyous meeting of Mary and Elizabeth. As the Holy Spirit fills the house, Mary bursts into song—the Magnificat—proclaiming a God who scatters the proud and lifts up the humble.  The Rev. Mark Loder, pastor of St. James Lutheran Church & School in Howard Lake, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Luke 1:39–56.  To learn more about St. James Lutheran, visit stjameshl.org.

Israel's royal family tree has been felled, leaving nothing but a jagged, lifeless stump. The glory of David seems lost to history. Yet, Isaiah prophesies the impossible: from this dead stump, a green Shoot will emerge. In part 3 of our special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we witness the rise of the Righteous Branch—the Messiah who bears the seven-fold Spirit and will bring peace so profound that wolves dwell with lambs.  The Rev.

For seven centuries, the promise of Immanuel (God with us) born to a virgin seemed forgotten. In part 2 of our special 12-part series, the silence breaks: not in a royal palace, but in the backwater town of Nazareth. The angel Gabriel announces that the wait is over to a young virgin, Mary, who will conceive by the Holy Spirit, ultimately fulfilling the prophecy of the coming Messiah. “How can this be?” Mary asks. Nothing is impossible for God.   The Rev. John Lukomski, pastor emeritus and co-host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO Radio, joins the Rev.

When King Ahaz faced the terrifying prospect of war, his heart shook "as the trees of the forest shake before the wind." Desperate for security, he sought political alliances rather than divine promises. But God's answer to national crisis wasn't a military strategy; it was a child, born of a Virgin—Immanuel. In part 1 of a special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, listen in as the historical drama of the Syro-Ephraimitic War, Ahaz's false piety, and messianic promise collide.  The Rev.

The revelation of God in Jesus was not what any of us could have expected. Jesus came as a King and reigns still as King, but not like the Kings of our world, in the Kingship of Jesus we learn what true heavenly power can look like as its lived out in weakness and suffering. Pastor Chris leads us in this teaching as we continue our Prophecy Fulfilled series.

"The Greatness of Jesus"Mark 10:32-45Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.

Send us a textAccused without evidence, Job asks for what most of us crave when we're misunderstood: “Teach me, and I will be silent.” We pair that brave invitation with Jesus's startling clarity before Pilate: “If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight.” From there, we follow a thread through scripture that reveals how truth answers accusation, how chosen silence can hold more power than self-defense, and why suffering can be mission rather than misfortune.We walk through the moments where Jesus refuses shortcuts—rebuking Peter's detour from the cross, rejecting the devil's offers, and correcting charges of casting out demons by Beelzebub with cool, simple logic. Alongside, Job stands firm against friends who mistake pain for guilt. He doesn't ask for rescue or flattering words; he asks for evidence. That contrast sharpens our understanding: Job embodies faithful confusion; Christ embodies willing purpose. Both honor truth—one by seeking it, the other by fulfilling it.We also sit with Isaiah's Suffering Servant who “opened not his mouth,” and consider how restraint is not weakness but witness. Right words have force when grounded in scripture and compassion; many words mean little without proof. This conversation offers a way to meet unfair criticism, guide our speech, and resist hollow judgment. If you've ever been talked over, misread, or pressured to defend yourself at any cost, these passages give a better path: ask for truth, reason well, and trust the kingdom that doesn't need a sword to win.If this resonated, follow the show, share with a friend who's navigating hard counsel, and leave a quick review to help others find these conversations.

God confronts His people's unfaithfulness, "Will a man rob God?" He calls them to return, promising blessings. The book of Malachi closes with a final, stark warning of the "great and awesome day of the LORD," a day of judgment (fire) for the wicked and healing for the righteous. It ends with the prophecy of Elijah's return to turn the hearts of the fathers and children, a promise fulfilled in John the Baptist.  The Rev. Mitchell Gowen, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Aiea, HI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Malachi 3:6-4:6.  To learn more about Our Savior, visit oursaviorhawaii.com.

The Lord's warning to the priests becomes severe as He condemns them for despising His name and offering defiled sacrifices. Their unfaithfulness has corrupted the covenant of Levi. Malachi then addresses the people's faithlessness and their casual approach to divorce. God is "wearied" by their sin, and He promises to send His messenger to purify His people with a refiner's fire.  The Rev. Roger Mullet, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Buffalo, WY, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Malachi 2:1-3:5.  To learn more about Prince of Peace, visit princeofpeacebuffalo.org.

The final book of the Old Testament opens with God's passionate declaration of His unique love for Israel ("Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated"). Yet this loved people, particularly the priests, have dishonored Him. They offer blind, lame, and sick animals, a "polluted" worship they would never offer their governor. God rejects their blemished offerings and makes a stunning prophecy: His name will be great among the nations.  The Rev. Peter Burfeind, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Union City, MI and Agnus Dei Lutheran Church in Marshall, MI, joins the Rev.

Isaiah 52:13-15; Isaiah 53:1-12 As we wrap up this short series on Isaiah (a fitting moment to enter Advent), we come to Isaiah 53—the Suffering Servant—arguably the text that shaped the early church's understanding of Jesus' death and resurrection more than any other. It gives us the clearest Old Testament picture of what Jesus came to do and why it matters for real life. But it's not a pretty picture: this is a God who heals by taking the brutality of all human sin and pain on Himself. We ask how this song might shape the way we understand our own suffering, and how it calls us toward compassion and mission in our city. By Hannah Flint

In this week's message from our Ruin to Redemption series, Pastor Bob explores Isaiah 52:13–53:12 and the profound truth that real peace never comes through negotiation, leverage, or control—it comes through surrender. From the tension of global conflict to the unrest in our own hearts, we often demand peace on our own terms. Yet Isaiah reveals a different kind of peace: one purchased through the Suffering Servant's rejection, piercing, and the great exchange that makes us righteous.This Advent, discover the One who was ruined so you could be redeemed—and the peace that begins when you finally lay your weapons down.November 30, 2025

Rob Conti | Fall RetreatIn this episode, Rob explores Peter's reaction, how Jesus corrected him, and what it means for believers to follow Him by taking up the cross.Jesus reveals that He must suffer, challenging Peter's expectations and calling every disciple to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. We reflect on the cost of discipleship, the value of a soul, and the hope of glory that outweighs present suffering. The call is clear: repent and follow Christ.Daniel 7Mark 8Fall Youth RetreatPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith.

Mark 1:9-13 Jesus is the Second Adam (9) Jesus is the Son of God (10-11) Jesus is the Suffering Servant (11-13)

"Learning Grace from the Master"Mark 9:30-50Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.

The Suffering of Jesus Christ      Jesus Christ, though perfectly sinless in His nature and conduct (1 Pet 2:22; 1 John 3:5), fully entered into the sufferings of humanity during what Scripture calls “the days of His flesh” (Heb 5:7a). As eternal God (John 1:1, 14; Col 2:9), He lacked nothing and possessed all knowledge, power, and authority. Yet in His humanity, He willingly submitted Himself to the limitations of human life, growing in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:40) and experiencing hunger, thirst, fatigue, grief, and rejection. This was not because of any imperfection in His being, but because the incarnation required Him to live in a fallen world where obedience to the Father necessarily brought conflict with the prevailing powers of darkness. Hebrews explains that He “learned obedience from the things which He suffered” (Heb 5:8). This does not mean He was ever disobedient, but rather that, through real human experience, He grew in the practical expression of obedience under pressure, culminating in His supreme submission when He “became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Phil 2:8). According to Fruchtenbaum, “The expression learned obedience does not mean that Jesus disobeyed; it means that He learned what obedience cost Him. It cost Him suffering. Philippians 2:8 makes the same point. He learned what obedience costs by means of the things He suffered.”[1] Jesus' suffering, therefore, was the means by which He demonstrated in His humanity the perfection of obedience, leaving believers an enduring model of faithfulness amid adversity.      As the Suffering Servant foretold by Isaiah (Isa 53:1–12), Jesus also bore the unique suffering of standing in the place of sinners to satisfy divine justice. He not only endured the hostility of men and the pressures of life in a fallen world but ultimately suffered as the substitute for humanity's sins. In His sacrificial death, He bore the full weight of God's wrath against sin, paying a debt that was not His own (Mark 10:45; Rom 5:8; 1 Pet 3:18). On the cross, He suffered in the most profound sense, not for His failures, for He had none, but for ours, offering Himself as the once-for-all atonement. His suffering secured forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life for all who believe in Him. Thus, Jesus' sufferings were both exemplary and substitutionary: exemplary, in that He showed how perfect obedience is forged and displayed through hardship in a fallen world; substitutionary, in that He willingly endured the judgment we deserved so that we might be brought to God. Peter tells us, “Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust” (1 Pet 3:18). Through His suffering, believers find both a model to follow and a Savior to trust, knowing that the One who triumphed through trials now intercedes for them and assures their salvation (1 John 2:1). Sanders states, “Serving and suffering are paired in the teaching and life of our Lord. One does not come without the other. And what servant is greater than the Lord?”[2] Steven R.

Episode 2.53Paul's life was a contradiction — beaten yet joyful, weak yet unstoppable.By the mid-50s A.D., he had endured rejection, imprisonment, and exhaustion. Yet his writings from this period reveal a man who found grace not by escaping pain, but by enduring it.In this episode, Zach and Michael walk through Paul's “theology of scars,” exploring how his sufferings shaped both his ministry and message. From the “spectacle” language of 1 Corinthians to the “thorn in the flesh” of 2 Corinthians and the anguish of Romans, Paul's life becomes a living sermon: God's strength is made perfect in weakness.Covered in this episode:– Why Paul's ministry looked like failure to the world but victory to heaven– The paradoxes of apostleship: sorrowful yet rejoicing, weak yet strong– The “Fool's Speech” and the radical humility behind Paul's boasting– Romans 7–9: Paul's inner conflict and his deep compassion for Israel– How hardship, not applause, authenticates the gospel workerTakeaway:The Christian life isn't about avoiding pain—it's about discovering power through it. Paul's story reminds us that endurance, not ease, is the true proof of grace.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/_scFOwyUthYMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

"Faith in the Valley"Mark 9:14-29Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times.

Isaiah 53 Today on The Bible Study Hour, we're kicking off a new series entitled, “Great Chapters of the Bible.” Thanks for joining as we take a look at Isaiah 53 - a powerful prophecy concerning an unlikely Messiah.

We're in the gospels now! The Story of Scripture continues!

Eugene Peterson says, "For Isaiah words are watercolors and melodies and chisels to make truth, and beauty and goodness.  Or as the case may be hammers and swords and scalpels to unmake sin, guilt and rebellion.  He creates visions, delivers revelation, arouses belief.  Isaiah is the supreme poet prophet to come out of the Hebrew people."  The characteristic name for God in Isaiah is "The Holy."  For Isaiah, Holiness is a furnace that transforms the men and women who enter it. Come join us as we take in the "Salvation Symphony" of Judgment (chapters 1-39), Comfort (chapters 40-55) and Hope (chapters 56-66).

Seven centuries before Jesus, Isaiah vividly described the Messiah's life, rejection, and sacrificial death. Jesus came not with majesty, but in humility, despised and misunderstood—yet bearing our griefs and sorrows. Isaiah 53 reveals the heart of the gospel: Christ, pierced for our transgressions, took our place so we could live.
