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.  

Isaiah's Doxology (Isaiah 12)

The section of Isaiah's prophecy that began with being confronted with God's holiness and his own sinfulness, fittingly concludes with a glorious doxology.

The King and His Kingdom (Isaiah 11)

We can be content and confident in the midst of our circumstances as we see them between the bookends of the past reality and the future hope of the covenant God has made with us in Christ. 

A Remnant Will Return (Isaiah 10:5-34)

"While Assyria’s remnant was as a few scattered trees of the forest, and there was no hope; Jacob’s remnant had hope as broad as the promises of the God of truth." - E. J. Young

His Hand Is Stretched Out Still (Isaiah 9:8-10:4)

In Christ, we are no longer under the Lord's hand of judgment, we are in the Lord's outstretched arms of mercy, and He will never let us go.  There is no other way to flee from the Lord than to flee to the Lord.  

A Son is Given (Isaiah 8:1-9:7)

The point in redemptive history upon which everything would turn was the birth of a boy.  The glimmer of hope in the midst of the pronouncement of judgment was that a son would be given and the darkness of sin and death would give way to the brightness of God’s glory. 
 

A Sign of the Times (Isaiah 7)

Ahaz wouldn't ask for a sign, but the Lord gave him one anyway; a son born of a virgin whose name would be Immanuel, God with us.

Holy, Holy, Holy (Isaiah 6)

God's revelation of his holiness led to Isaiah's realization of his own sin which God responded to with mercy.
