Wrestling Your Way To Peace in Isaiah 27

Send us a note!Self-help says the answer is inside you. Isaiah says the answer is above you and it starts with surrender. Pastor Carl digs into Isaiah 26 and 27 to show why “wrestling with God” is often God lovingly revealing our own heart back to us, pressing the question we’d rather avoid: do we want to keep living our way, or do we want the blessing of God and the peace that comes when we finally say, “not my will, but yours be done”?From there, the teaching widens into big, hope-filled promises. Isaiah declares, “Your dead shall live,” and we talk about resurrection hope, the mystery of a new resurrected body, and the reality that God specializes in bringing life where sin and despair have made things feel beyond repair. We also walk through end times themes like the Day of the Lord, God’s judgment on iniquity, and why believers can trust the Judge who is also the Savior.Isaiah 27 takes an unexpected turn with Leviathan, and Pastor Carl connects that image to spiritual warfare, Satan’s lies, and the way worldly thinking trains us toward pride, idolatry, and emptiness. The episode lands on a practical call to repent, release our idols willingly, and take hold of God’s strength so we can make peace with Him and bear real fruit.Subscribe for more Bible teaching, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find the show.What makes a Calvary Chapel a Calvary Chapel.
