Sermon Notes

1. Hebrew for “comfort” means “breathe” (Is. 40:1).
2. If God doesn’t discipline me, I don’t belong to him.
3. Clear the path!  Make room (Is. 40:3)!
4. When Jesus comes, everything will change!
5. The Bible will never have a limited “shelf-life” (Is. 40:8).
6. Let God’s people know – he’s coming (Is. 40:9)!
7. God is in control over every kingdom, authority, and election (Is. 40:21-23).
8. God has not forgotten us (Is. 40:26).
9. The everlasting God (Is. 40:28) has an everlasting Word (Is. 40:8).
10. I can’t even search through his understanding – let alone comprehend it (Is. 40:28).
11. There are times we are given enough strength to soar, to run, or just to walk (Is. 40:31).  Whichever amount we receive, just keep moving.
12. When I can’t fly, I run. When I can’t run, I walk. It doesn’t matter how I get there as long as I get there!
13. God has never once been exhausted (Is. 40:28).
14. Waiting on God is not like waiting on someone else.
15. While we wait for the LORD to fulfill his promise, we stay faithful fulfilling his commandments (Is. 40:31).
