God was very gracious in allowing me to find the second reading (Isaiah) and as I read it the links just jumped out. I especially liked the link between river of righteousness and God coming like a flood, and then to imagine an enormous wave crashing against sin and - as the spray clears - we see a figure on a cross fighting for breath. I tell you, that was the Spirit- my mind seldom produces anything that visual! I think it might make an awesome piece of video clip. Thanks Glen – that’s very kind.

Brilliant! Where does this sermon come from? Spurgeon? Sibbes? Chrysostom? An Apostle? How different to our modern anaemic sermons with their three point lecturing. Here you weave together the Scriptures the way the Scriptures weave together the Scriptures. It's the language of biblical symbolism itself not of some IVP pop-systematics. That's the kind of preaching we need! Just call him “Golden-mouth VB”! Brilliant! Where does this sermon come from? Spurgeon? Sibbes? Chrysostom? An Apostle?
