Hi. Welcome to this blog. I'm hoping that this can be a venue to further some discussion on things we talk about at New Life Church. Currently this blog will be devoted to some reflection on Isaiah 40. The concluding message in the "State of the Heart" series at our weekend services focused on Isaiah 40. We talked about how we can't fix the brokenness of our hearts, but we can prepare our hearts to receive the Saviour.
Here's the plan:
- Read through Isaiah 40 each day from now till Christmas. Do it once a day so that you get the feeling you are living with the passage. You'll be surprised what kinds of things stand out or impress you at different times.
- Use this blog to participate in the reflections (by signing up on this blog). I'm going to post a reflection at least once a week, and I hope that you will comment with your own reflections.
My expectation is that with this excercise we'll prepare our hearts with a greater sense of expectation for a Saviour, and with a more solid assurance that God will save us from all our brokenness. May you persevere with faith, hope, and love this Christmas season!
