The Beauty of the Lord – SPB Sermons

The Beauty of the Lord In The Way Of The servant – Isaiah 42:1-9

This week at St Paul’s & St Barnabas, Rev Andrew took us on a powerful journey through Isaiah 42:1-9, exploring what it means to behold *“The Beauty of the Lord.”* This remarkable passage introduces the Servant of the Lord, the One in whom God delights and through whom He brings justice and restoration to a broken world. Rev Andrew reminds us that this Servant is Jesus, the ultimate hope of humanity, whose mission is grounded in God’s faithfulness and glory.

Isaiah paints a picture of hope that is both deeply personal and gloriously cosmic. Through the Servant, God promises not a mere return to what was, but something entirely new—a redemption that transforms lives, communities, and the world itself. In the sermon, Rev Andrew reflects on how Jesus embodies this mission with humility, compassion, and unwavering purpose. It’s a message that calls us to trust in Christ with our burdens and to step into our own calling to be people of justice, light, and hope in the world around us.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the brokenness of life or uncertain about the future, this sermon offers a timely reminder of the beauty and certainty of God’s promises. As Rev Andrew points out, the hope we have in Jesus is one that changes how we see today and empowers us to live with confidence in what’s to come. Whether you’re wrestling with personal challenges or simply seeking encouragement to live out your faith in a tangible way, this message is a must-listen.

We’d love for you to listen to the podcast recording of this Sunday’s sermon, where you can hear the full message and reflect on its powerful implications for your own life and faith. Take some time this week to dive deeper into Isaiah 42:1-9 and consider how God is calling you to respond to the beauty of the Lord and the hope He offers through His Servant.

You can listen to the sermon below. We hope it encourages and inspires you as much as it did us:

As always, we’d love to hear how God is working in your life and how we can serve you better. Feel free to reach out or visit our website for more information. Thank you for journeying with us as we seek to know and share the good news of Jesus.

Opportunities To Gather and Grow || SPB NOTES || Coming up to Winter 2024

As we enter a season full of opportunities to gather and grow, I want to encourage everyone to participate in the life of our church. Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another.” Gathering is a vital part of our faith, and these events are designed to strengthen our fellowship, prayer life, and outreach efforts. Each event, whether it’s our community prayer meeting, the winter coat project, or the Advent services, is a chance for us to come together as the body of Christ, using the unique gifts God has given us. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 highlights that we are all members of one body, and every part is needed to function as God intended. When we gather, pray, and support the church’s work, we not only bless each other but our entire community. I encourage you to engage deeply in these events and find where you can serve. Whether it’s helping ...

Community Payer Meeting at St Paul's & St Barnabas

Community Prayer Gathering This past Wednesday evening, we were privileged to gather in the newly refurbished lounge at St Paul’s & St Barnabas for a community prayer meeting. It was a joy to welcome friends from other churches across the area as we united in prayer for our church, our community, and the wider world. The theme for the evening was to seek God's guidance, and blessing for our church and community. Scripture encourages us to pray without ceasing ( 1 Thessalonians 5:17 ) and to come boldly to the throne of grace ( Hebrews 4:16 ), and so we lifted up our voices in faith. During the prayer meeting, we focused on key areas: our local community, the great work of the churches in the area , and personal renewal. Encouraged by the echols of Philippians 4:6 , where we are encouraged to bring our requests to God with thanksgi...
