  Week 182: I Will Not Leave You as Orphans

  Aug 21, 202625 min

  Send us Fan Mail What happens when the people we depend on leave us? What happens when we feel forgotten, abandoned, or completely alone? In John 14:18, Jesus gives His disciples a promise that reaches straight into the heart of those fears: “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” In Week 182 of The Isaiah 43 Podcast , we continue our journey through the Gospel of John and explore one of the most comforting promises Jesus gives His people. The disciples were terrified. Jesus was leaving. The One they had followed for three years was preparing to go to the cross. But Jesus assures them that His departure would not mean abandonment. Through the Holy Spirit, Christ would come to dwell with His people. In this episode, we explore: What Jesus means when He says, “I will not leave you as orphans” Why Christ's resurrection is central to the promise, “Because I live, you also will live” What it means to be united to Christ The incredible reality of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit dwelling with and in God's people Why obedience is evidence of love rather than a way to earn God's love The difference between God's unchanging fatherly love and our experience of fellowship with Him Why sin can cloud our enjoyment of Christ without ever causing Christ to abandon His children What it means to come home to Christ through repentance The hope of being adopted into God's family through faith in Jesus Christ If you're struggling with loneliness, fear, sin, grief, or the feeling that God has forgotten you, this episode is a reminder that your circumstances do not determine God's faithfulness. You are not an orphan. You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. If you belong to Christ, the Father has adopted you, the Son has redeemed you, and the Holy Spirit dwells within you. And the Savior who said, “I will not leave you as orphans,” will never abandon His people. Scripture: John 14:18–21 (ESV) “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” — John 14:18

  Week 181: You Are Not Alone

  Aug 14, 202621 min

  Send us Fan Mail What did Jesus mean when He promised His disciples “another Helper” ? In this episode of The Isaiah 43 Podcast , we continue our journey through the Gospel of John and explore one of the most comforting promises Jesus ever gave His people: the promise of the Holy Spirit. Last week, Jesus told His disciples, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” But how can sinful, weak people possibly live in faithful obedience to Christ? Jesus gives the answer immediately: You are not alone. In John 14:16–17, Jesus promises that the Father will give His people “another Helper”—the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, who will dwell with believers and be in them forever. In this episode, we explore: What Jesus means by “another Helper” Why the Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force, but the third Person of the Trinity The meaning of the Greek word Parakletos How the Holy Spirit comforts, strengthens, teaches, and guides God's people Why the Holy Spirit always glorifies Christ The difference between the Spirit of truth and the natural, fallen world What it means for the Holy Spirit to dwell in believers The Spirit as God's seal and guarantee of our inheritance How the Holy Spirit enables us to obey Christ And most importantly, we will be reminded of this beautiful truth: You are not alone. When you are exhausted, He is with you. When you are afraid, He is with you. When you are grieving, He is with you. When you are fighting temptation, He is with you. When you don't know what to do, He is with you. The Christian life is not lived by gritting our teeth and trying harder. The God who saved us has not abandoned us. The Father has given us the Son, the Son has given us the Spirit, and the Spirit dwells with His people forever. “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever.” — John 14:16 If you belong to Christ, you will never walk alone.

  Week 180: If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments

  Aug 7, 202622 min

  Send us Fan Mail What did Jesus really mean when He said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15)? In this episode of The Isaiah 43 Podcast , we continue our verse-by-verse study through the Gospel of John by exploring one of Jesus' most searching—and most comforting—statements. Together we'll examine the Upper Room on the night before the crucifixion, the difference between legalism and lawlessness, the miracle of regeneration, our union with Christ, and how true obedience flows from love rather than earning God's favor. We'll also see how Peter's restoration in John 21 beautifully illustrates that Christ does not cast away repentant sinners, but restores them with grace and calls them to faithful obedience. If you've ever wondered whether your obedience is enough, struggled with guilt over sin, or wanted to understand how grace and holiness fit together, this episode is for you. Scripture: John 14:15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." — John 14:15 (ESV)

  Spider-Man, Heroes, and the Savior We Really Need | Titus 3:3–6

  Aug 5, 202627 min

  Send us Fan Mail Bonus Episode Why do stories about heroes resonate so deeply with us? Why do we cheer for the one who sacrifices himself to save others? This week I'm sharing my recent sermon from Shepherd's Rock Bible Church on Titus 3:3–6 . We begin with an unexpected illustration from Spider-Man 2 , but quickly discover that every heroic story ultimately points beyond itself to the greatest rescue in history. The gospel tells us something surprising: we are not merely victims waiting to be rescued—we are rebels in need of a Savior. Yet according to His mercy, God did what we never could. He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but because of His grace through Jesus Christ. In this sermon, we'll explore: • Why humanity is fascinated by heroes • What Titus 3 teaches about our true condition • Why salvation is entirely by God's mercy • How every rescue story ultimately points to Christ • The assurance believers have because salvation rests on His work, not ours "He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy..." — Titus 3:5 (ESV) Thank you for listening to this special bonus episode of The Isaiah 43 Podcast . Regular Friday episodes continue as we work verse by verse through the Gospel of John. Soli Deo Gloria.

  Episode #179

  Week 179: The Privilege of Prayer

  Jul 31, 202617 min

  Send us Fan Mail Have you ever noticed how often people say, "In Jesus' name"? When Jesus says, "Whatever you ask in My name, this I will do," is He giving us a blank check? Does praying in Jesus' name mean that God will give us whatever we want? That's exactly what we're going to explore today in John 14: 13, 14. Because if we misunderstand these verses, we'll misunderstand prayer itself. But if we understand what Jesus is saying, we'll discover that praying in His name is far greater than simply ending our prayers with those words.
