Fear Not, You Worm

Christian Lee (2025 December 28, Sunday, Storyline Church)

What do you do when you feel weak, insignificant, or forgotten? In Isaiah 41:14–16, God speaks tenderly to the exiles but then calls them “a worm.” Not to shame them—but to speak truthfully about their condition so they'll see their need for God's help. This sermon explores how God meets us not in our strength, but in our vulnerability, and how the image of the “scarlet worm” points forward to the gospel of Christ. The gospel does not tell us to stop feeling small. It tells us what to do when we do. If you’re closing out the year feeling tired, fearful, or unsure of what’s next, this message is for you.
