Why Is This Church Still Here? | Christ For YouIsaiah 55:10–11 | 104th AnniversaryRedeemer Lutheran Church 2626 Liberty Blvd. South Gate, CA90280A congregation that once overflowed is now down to twenty people. The school is gone. The founding generation is dead. The neighborhood has changed. And the question nobody is saying out loud — but everybody is carrying — is this: Has God’s Word failed here? Has He moved on? Is this place just a monument to a better time?In this church anniversary sermon, Pastor Rojas walks into that question without flinching — and answers it from Isaiah 55. God doesn’t respond to His people’s despair with a recovery plan or a timeline. He responds the same way He always has: He gives them His Word again.What does Isaiah 55 tell a struggling, shrinking congregation about whether God’s Word is still working? Why does God hide His success in what looks like failure? What does the incarnation of Christ — a homeless preacher, abandoned by His disciples, dead in a tomb — have to do with empty pews in South Gate? What does “it shall not return to me empty” actually mean when the numbers say otherwise? And how does the cross prove, once and for all, that God defines what His Word accomplishes — and no statistic, no chart, no empty pew ever has?Subscribe & Share:Spotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgLooking for a Lutheran Church near you?Support the preaching of God’s Word.
