Not Our Thoughts/Ways?

Isaiah 55:8–9

PASTOR Scott lothery

My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways”—is often quoted when we face something we don’t understand, like suffering, unanswered prayer, or the mysteries of God’s nature. People use it to say, “God is incomprehensible, and his ways are simply beyond us,” especially in moments of pain. Yet in Isaiah 55, these famous verses sit inside a sweeping altar call—a global invitation from God himself, calling sinners to turn from their wicked ways and unrighteous thoughts and to receive his abundant pardon. In this message, we Think Again about Isaiah 55:8–9 and see that God isn’t merely reminding us of his mystery; he is contrasting our sinful ways with his gracious ways and urging us to repent and come to him. Isaiah 55 presents four parts of God’s altar call: the grace of Christ’s offer, the urgency of his call, the description of a right response, and the promise of his saving work in those who believe.

Least of These?

matthew 25 : 31-46

PASTOR Scott Lothery

august 23, 2026

Whatever you did for one of the least of these… you did for me” is a beloved verse often quoted to encourage compassion, charity, and social justice. Many use it to affirm that any act of kindness toward the needy is automatically counted as service to Jesus, regardless of why it’s done or how it connects to the Gospel. In this message, we Think Again about Jesus’ words in Matthew 25 and explore who “the least of these” actually are and what kind of care he is describing. We discover that this passage is about how the nations respond to Jesus’ disciples and the Gospel message, and how serving Christ’s people in his name is bound up with how we receive him as King. From Matthew 25, we draw four insights into the relationship between mercy, mission, and judgment, helping us serve others in ways that truly honor Jesus
