Comfort the Anxious Heart

The sermon from September 9, 2012. The text is Isaiah 35:4-7a:

Say to those who have an anxious heart,
    “Be strong; fear not!
Behold, your God
    will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
    He will come and save you.” 

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
    and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
    and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
For waters break forth in the wilderness,
    and streams in the desert; the burning sand shall become a pool,
    and the thirsty ground springs of water;
