From Sorrow to Comfort | Dr. Stephen Conley

The Setting of God's Promised Comfort (Is. 40:1-2) God's message of renewing comfort comes in the midst of man's sin and failure God's message of renewing comfort is reinforced with compassion, reminding His people that God always keeps His promises   The Substance of God's Promised Comfort (Is. 40:3-5) The promise of God's renewing comfort is fulfilled in the promised Messiah The Messiah will come to accomplish God's purpose and His glory will be revealed   The Sureness of God's Promised Comfort (Is. 40:6-8) All of humanity will fade and die, but God's Word endures forever The certainty of God's promises rests on His faithful and enduring Word   The Spreading of God's Promised Comfort (Is. 40:9-11) The Gospel message must not only be received and enjoyed, but shared and spread to others for the glory of God. The Gospel message brings us to a mighty Shepherd who carries us in His arms.
