Behold, I Make You a Threshing Sledge

Christian Lee (2026 January 4, Sunday, Storyline Church)

In Isaiah 41:15–16, God speaks to a defeated, exiled people and makes a startling promise: “Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge, new, sharp, and having teeth.” The same people God called a “worm” are now transformed into an instrument that separates grain from chaff and brings mountains low.

This message explores how God works through weakness—not by flattering us or bypassing our brokenness, but by dealing decisively with what enslaves us. At the center of this promise stands the cross of Christ, where judgment and mercy meet, where idols are exposed, and where true freedom begins.
