Sermon: Saved to Make Him Known

Saved to Make Him Known

Isaiah 12

January 3, 2016

Pastor Tony Felich

           

Isaiah 12:1 You will say in that day:“I will give thanks to you, O LORD, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, that you might comfort me. [2] “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” [3] With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. [4] And you will say in that day: “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted. [5] “Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. [6] Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”            

We who drink from the wells of God’s salvation are called to make Him known!  

• The Lord saves (1-2)  

• Salvation shapes our life and purpose (3-6) 

            - A demeanor of thanks for God’s grace in salvation  

            - Gives us a trust and confidence in God  

            - Prompts an outward expression of praise  

            - We will desire and strive to make Him known
