This Is Why We Sing (Isaiah 26-27)

We don't sing in worship to connect with God.  We sing in response to the fact that God has connected Himself to us in and through Christ.

Desolation or Consolation (Isaiah 24-25)

We are all on walking on one of two paths.  We are either walking in our own self-sufficiency which leads to desolation or in Christ's all-sufficiency which leads to consolation.  

The Lord Has Purposed It (Isaiah 23)

As we’ve seen throughout this series of oracles, though there has been a great deal of judgment, there has also been a glimmer of hope in each one; and this one concerning Tyre is no exception. 

The Valley of Vision (Isaiah 22)

The Lord, through Isaiah, continues to drive home the point that reliance upon anything or anyone other than Christ, particularly ourselves, is futile.

The Lord Has Spoken (Isaiah 21)

Chapter 21 not only describes God working in the midst of the geo-political conflict of Isaiah's day, it also speaks to how we are to live in our day between the already and the not yet of God's Kingdom and our salvation.

Naked and Barefoot (Isaiah 20)

Isaiah wasn’t the only prophet to be asked to do something that resulted in his own personal humiliation.  The Lord Christ "endured the cross and despised the shame" to take our guilt and shame upon Himself.

Striking and Healing (Isaiah 19)

All the nations of the earth would be blessed through Abraham and His seed; and that includes Israel’s classic enemy of Egypt. (This was recorded at our annual visit to Blowing Springs for worship and fellowship outdoors.)

Whirring Wings (Isaiah 18)

At the right time, God would intervene and accomplish His purpose and plan for Judah, Cush, and all the nations whose destinies were in HIs hands.

What Are You Looking At? (Isaiah 17)

Fixing our eyes on anyone or anything to experience life, other than Jesus, ultimately leads to death.  It is to Him alone that we should look.

The Lord of the Nations (Isaiah 14:24-16:13)

The Lord of the nations is sovereign over the nations, the judge of the nations, and a Savior for the nations.

The Day of the Lord (Isaiah 13:1-14:23)

Like Assyria, Babylon’s pride would lead to its demise.  But we must admit, the seed of pride is in all our hearts.

Do You Believe This? (John 11:17-27)

The aim of Christ's question was to shift Martha's attention away from the general resurrection of the dead to Himself as the resurrection and the life, and it worked.
