About this episode

Richard Van Lieshout explores Isaiah 29:15-24, addressing spiritual blindness and the hope found in God's redemptive work.

In this sermon titled "Hide & Seek," Richard Van Lieshout explores Isaiah 29:15-24, addressing the human tendency to live as "practical atheists" by making life plans in the dark while ignoring the counsel of our Creator. Drawing parallels from the Garden of Eden to the prophetic warnings of Isaiah, the message highlights the danger of spiritual blindness and the futility of the "clay" hiding from the "Potter." However, the core of the message is one of hope and divine reversal: a promise that God can unseal the "closed book" of His Word, opening the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf. Discover how the humble and the "underdogs" can find fresh joy as God reverses the curse of shame through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
