Bible Text: Isaiah 55: 10-13 | Preacher: Pastor Peter Gregory | What makes the difference between those dry, lifeless times and the times of life and growth? It’s the water—the rain and, from the high places, the snow. The rain and the snow make the earth and its creatures alive. And that’s exactly how God describes His word through the prophet Isaiah: AS THE RAIN AND THE SNOW GIVE LIFE TO THE EARTH, SO MY WORD GIVES YOU TRUE, ETERNAL LIFE. His is a life-giving Word.
