With Me In Paradise

Many people think of entry into heaven as something to work for - like working for a wage. But Jesus’ offer of paradise to a criminal destroys that approach, showing us that it can only be received as a gift of grace. This message investigates this gift Jesus gives, how we can receive it, and why Jesus can give it.

The Servant for the Guilty

Servant Song #4

The Mount Everest of Old Testament prophecy — this climatic ‘Servant Song’ in Isaiah predicts with great detail the purpose of the Servant's sufferings. It presents Jesus’ sufferings as mysterious, yet vicarious, and therefore that makes him victorious.  

The Servant for the Weary

Servant Song #3

Here Isaiah predicts Jesus as the faithful servant. His faithfulness is demonstrated by his listening to and obeying the word of God despite the suffering that entailed.

The Servant for the Nations

Servant Song #2

Here Isaiah predicts Jesus as the servant for the nations. He fulfils all that God requires through his obedience, and therefore brings a salvation that reaches to the ends of the earth.
