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 to desert villages, all creation is called to lift its voice in joyful worship. This sermon emphasizes that true worship flows from revelation—when we see God at work, we must respond in praise. Dr. Crowder powerfully contrasts the joyful song of the redeemed with the sobering image of the Lord rising up like a man of war, executing justice against His enemies. This balance of grace and judgment anchors the believer’s song in both awe and hope. In a world growing colder to the things of God, this message is a call to recover the voice of worship, rooted in God’s mighty acts and aimed toward His glory.
