In this weeks episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin is joined by occasional guest and full time tech guru Josh Davis to discuss one of Josh's new favorite passages of scripture, Isaiah 49:1-7. They explore the powerful vision of Jesus as the Servant of God, prophesied in Isaiah and fulfilled in His earthly mission. From before His birth, God appointed Christ to accomplish salvation through the power of His Word. Though His path included moments of apparent failure and rejection, the Servant’s mission was guaranteed by God’s sovereign plan—to bring restoration not only to Israel, but salvation to all nations. Pastor Justin and Josh examine how Jesus, the true fulfillment of Israel’s calling, succeeded where others faltered, ultimately becoming the light for the Gentiles.
But this story doesn't end with Christ alone. As those united with Him, we are now called to share in His mission to be a light to the world. Drawing from Acts 13:47, we’ll discuss what it means for believers today to carry the light of Christ to the ends of the earth, even in the face of discouragement. This episode encourages listeners to trust in God’s unshakable plan and to embrace the global, redemptive work He is doing through His people.
