Our sermon this week will be from Isaiah 54. Please take some time to read over the chapter is preparation for Sunday. One of the great missionaries of the past, William Carey, preached a famous message from this chapter, where he exhorted people to: 1) Expect great things from God; and 2) Attempt great things for God. Let’s look into this great chapter together this Sunday.
