Sing a New Song to the Lord

Sing a New Song to the Lord is the tenth message in Dr. Robert C. Crowder’s series The Gospel According to Isaiah, drawn from Isaiah 42:10–17. This text erupts in praise as heaven and earth respond to the redemptive work of God’s Servant. Dr. Crowder shows that this “new song” is not simply about fresh lyrics, but a response to a new act of salvation that only the LORD could accomplish. From the coastlands to the wilderness, from mountain tops…

The Servant’s Mission and Majesty

Chapter 9: The Servant’s Mission and Majesty marks a turning point in Dr. Robert C. Crowder’s The Gospel According to Isaiah series, as the first of Isaiah’s great Servant Songs unfolds. Preaching from Isaiah 42:1–9, Dr. Crowder presents a powerful portrait of the coming Servant—Jesus Christ—who is both humble and exalted, gentle and just. The message explores the dual nature of the Servant’s mission: to establish righteousness among the nations and to bring light to those who dwell in darkness.…

There is No Other

Chapter 8: There Is No Other is the eighth message in Dr. Robert C. Crowder’s The Gospel According to Isaiah series, presenting a divine courtroom scene where the idols of the nations are summoned to testify, yet remain silent. Preaching from Isaiah 41:21–29, Dr. Crowder unpacks God’s challenge to false gods: Can they declare the past? Predict the future? Do anything of lasting power or meaning? The answer is a resounding no. This sermon contrasts the emptiness of man-made religion…

Streams in the Wilderness

Chapter 7: Streams in the Wilderness continues Dr. Robert C. Crowder’s series The Gospel According to Isaiah with a message of divine provision and sustaining grace. From Isaiah 41:17–20, Dr. Crowder proclaims the Lord’s promise to meet the needs of “the poor and needy” when there is no water—when life feels barren, dry, and unyielding. God promises more than relief—He promises transformation: rivers in high places, fountains in valleys, pools in deserts. This sermon draws attention to the way God…

Grace for the Worm: Strength for the Weak

Chapter 6: Grace for the Worm – Strength for the Weak continues Dr. Robert C. Crowder’s exposition of The Gospel According to Isaiah with a striking declaration of divine grace to the lowly. Preaching from Isaiah 41:14–16, Dr. Crowder unfolds the tenderness of God’s covenant care as He addresses His people not as champions, but as a “worm”—a picture of their helplessness apart from Him. Yet the message is not one of shame, but of strength: “Fear not… I will…

Fear Not, For I Am With You

In this passage, the Lord speaks directly to His people, not in condemnation, but in comfort, declaring that they are chosen, upheld, and not cast away. Dr. Crowder expounds on the assurance that flows from the character and promises of God, reminding…

The God Who Reigns

The God Who Reigns: Sovereign Over Every Nation is a powerful exposition of Isaiah 41:1–7, reminding us that history is not random, but ruled by the sovereign hand of God. From the courtroom summons of the nations to the rise of Cyrus, the Righteous Conqueror, this passage declares that God alone governs kings and kingdoms. While empires rise and fall, the Lord proclaims, “I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.” In a world filled with…

Behold Your God

Behold Your God is a powerful call to lift our eyes above the chaos of life and fix them on the unshakable majesty of the LORD. Preaching from Isaiah 40:12–31, Dr. Robert C. Crowder leads the listener through one of the most awe-inspiring portraits of God in all of Scripture. In a time of doubt, discouragement, and weakness, Isaiah does not offer ease—he offers a vision of the Almighty. This message explores five key revelations of God’s nature: His majestic…

Comfort My People

This sermon explores the prophetic foundation of John the Baptist’s ministry, the frailty of man contrasted with the enduring Word of God, and the glory of Christ as both sovereign King and tender Shepherd.
