Isaiah - Return & Rest

About this episode

Richard Van Lieshout explores Isaiah 30, emphasizing the importance of finding security in God rather than in human strength.

Where do you turn when life feels overwhelming or when trouble arrives at your doorstep? In this message, Richard Van Lieshout explores Isaiah 30, where God’s people were tempted to look for security in political alliances and human strength rather than in the Sovereign Lord. Richard unpacks the profound invitation of God to stop our striving and find true rescue not in our activity, but in returning and rest. We often live as "practical atheists," making plans in the dark, but this sermon reminds us that our strength is found in a quiet confidence in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
