God's Eyes Are on the Oppressed

In Isaiah 10, the prophet preaches a message that is fully at home among the messages of all the prophets: God expects humanity to take care of the oppressed among them. In today's service, we dive deeper into this prophetic word and its parallels with our world today.

The Interruption of Christmas

Erick Ewaskowitz, Director of Coaching and Training in the Southern Michigan Conference brings us a special Christmas Eve message!

The Patience of Christmas

The prophecies said that a messiah would be born and that he would reign over all things. Not only did these things happen differently than expected, but they also happened more slowly than expected.

Discerning Christmas

Our Nerd Church Pastor, Tylar Salter, brings a special message on discerning the practices that we have in Christmas.

The Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God

Who is human/divine Son that is the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace? Isaiah hints at something spectacular.

As we continue our series in Isaiah, the prophet calls out Israel's use of mediums and necromancy. The church often says "No," to these things, but rarely explains why. In today's message we explain why God forbids such things.

Isaiah & Conspiracy

As cases rise, we've returned online to 1208TV! Join us for worship, new announcements and a message on conspiracy theories as we continue our series in Isaiah.

"For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread." (Isaiah 8:11-12)

Guest Missionaries: The Rosado's

Guest missionaries, the Rosado’s, stop by to share with us!

Ask for a Sign

In the divided kingdom of Israel, the northern kingdom of Ephraim teamed up with the nation of Aram in order to protect themselves from the Assyrian Empire. In attempts to further ensure their protection, they tried to overtake the southern kingdom of Judah, which was when Isaiah showed up to the king of Judah with a prophetic word. What was it? We talk more about that in today's passage in our series on Isaiah.

Isaiah Stands in the Divine Council

As Isaiah approaches the throne room of God, he agrees to take on a task that God needs someone to fulfill. This brings about images of the divine council worldview of the Bible. But what is a human doing there? We talk more about that in this message.

A Meditative Journey through Isaiah's Vision

Find a quiet place as we practice the prophetic art of visions and submerge ourselves into Isaiah's surreal vision of God's temple throne room.

Stink Fruit

In Isaiah 5 a song is sung about how God set the stage perfectly for His people, and yet they failed to produce. We dive deeper into this theme in today's message.

A Canopy of Glory

At the end of all things, Isaiah sees the fullness of God's presence being installed on the earth amidst those who have remained faithful to him. Jamin goes on to explain how we can catch glimpses of this manifest presence even today.

The Humble God of the Universe

Isaiah 2 calls us to be humble and God Himself images that quality to us. As we zoom out across the universe in this message, we begin to see just how small we are—though also how big we are in the eyes of God.

*Jamin originally confused equatorial radius and circumference in this message. We tried to edit those parts out :P

The Edenic Mountain of God

In Isaiah 2, the rivers of all nations are flowing up God's mountain and people are turning their weapons into gardening equipment. What's going on here?

Listening to the Prophets

The prophets have been speaking for a long time. They are typically loved after they've passed, but hated while they're alive. Are we listening to the prophets today? We read Isaiah 1 and talk more about that in our new series on Isaiah.

Love Your Villains

There are two ways to pursue justice: (1) through the hatred and vengeance Satan offers us or (2) through the love and empathy Jesus offers us. The first is not actually justice, but something else. The second is an identifying mark of the Christian.

Christians Must Bring Jesus Into It

Jesus prayed for unity in the church, but he never meant for us to achieve it by us ignoring his difficult teachings. As 2020 continues to build pressure, the inner feelings of Christians have burst out all over the place, showing us that our peace and unity is more pretend than we thought and that we're not unified in Jesus. How should we react to this?

The Pacifistic Ways of Jesus

Jamin dives into the pacifistic ways of Jesus in this new message in our series of Jesus Justice. What will we choose to carry? A weapon or a cross? You can listen to this message by subscribing to the 1208PODCAST on iTunes, Spotify, or Google Play.

The Sermon on the Mount

As we continue our series on Jesus Justice, Jamin spends some time reading the Sermon on the Mount in its entirety to help us understand how to pursue justice the Jesus way.
