Today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer.

The God who could command the wind and the waves and the meteors and the tsunamis

was spoken as an answer into a real situation. A real Jewish king named King Ahaz was being threatened

by attack from two different enemies. And so God, through Isaiah, tells Ahaz that I'll, he says, I'll help you.
