“By His stripes…”. Drew this as a form of worship, prayer, and meditation during Lent, February 18, 2018. If you look closely, you’ll notice that I incorporated fragments from Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53. (Click on picture to see full size image)

Satisfied in Christ – an Easter sermon by Tim Melton
Isaiah 53:11, Matthew 11:28-29 – A sermon preached by Tim Melton, April 8, Easter Sunday at Surfside PCA Church, Myrtle Beach, SC
The Only Shamegiver became the Only Shamebearer
Yesterday I preached on the issue of Shame. I used three particular passages. In Genesis 3 we see where Shame entered the world and how humans were cast out of the Garden to live a life of shame and disgrace. In Leviticus 16 we see where Shame is dealt with in regard to the Scapegoat, who is cast out into the wilderness, just like Adam and Eve. Yet, this scapegoat is not enough for us. In Isaiah 53 we see Jesus who became the Divine Scapegoat. He was cast out that we may be brought in. The Only Legitimate ShameGiver became the Only legitimate ShameBearer.
During the sermon, my daughter, Callie, drew the picture to the left that emphasizes in big letters “SHAME.” Then above the word SHAME is the phrase “He Will Give…” and underneath is the phrase “He Will Bear…” I thought it was pretty cool.
