Jesus the King Is Coming — Again

Scripture: Isaiah 59:15-21/63:1-6 I. Jesus the King is coming again to judge. A. The world is a mess. Isaiah 59:14 makes it clear that truth, justice and righteousness are lacking. How does God feel about all this? Vs. 15: “The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.” God is not just displeased…

COME TO THE PARTY

Scripture: Isaiah 55 I. You should come to God’s party because you will be satisfied. A. The people of Israel that Isaiah prophesied among were not satisfied. They’re spending their money on that which is not bread (vs. 2). They’re laboring for that which does not satisfy. God gives His dissatisfied people a strange invitation.…

GOD SAVES

Scripture: Isaiah 52:13–53:12 Acts 8:34-35: “‘About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?’ Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture  he told him the good news about Jesus.” I. God saves through Jesus. A. Jesus confirms that He is the prophesied servant of God who would bring…

Jesus: Your Example and Savior

Scripture: Isaiah 50:4-11 I. Jesus is your example of listening to and speaking God’s Word A. Who interrupts God’s conversation with Israel in vs. 4? We wait until verse 10 to find out. There we read, “Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant?” This is the servant of the…

Good News for Everyone

Scripture: Isaiah 49:1-13 I. God’s Servant will bring good news for Israel A. God announces some good news for Israel in Isaiah 48:20: Israel would leave exile inBabylon and come back home. But even when Israel came back home physically, theywould still be in exile from God spiritually. So the servant’s mission in Isa. 49:5…

behold your god!

Scripture: Isaiah 40 I. God is comforter. A. The comfort (vs. 1) God wants to bring to Jerusalem is to breathe new life and strength intoHis defeated and demoralized people. God still calls Jerusalem “my people.” So, God says in vs.2, “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem.” Some translators say this means, “Speak to the heart.” Oneword…

Trust God Alone

Scripture: Isaiah 38 & 39 I. You trust God alone in both personal crisis and national crisis A. The personal crisis for King Hezekiah is that he is going to die (vs. 1). He was one of the best kings in the nation of Judah’s history. 2 Chronicles 29:2: “And (Hezekiah) did what was right in…

Challenging Times

Scripture: Isaiah 36 & 37 I . You need to respond to a challenge with dependence on the LORD. A. We see the challenge King Hezekiah and Jerusalem faced in vs. 1 and 2 of chapter 36in 701 BC. The king of Assyria told Hezekiah and Jerusalem to surrender now. At thisexact spot in 735…

God will be God, and the World will Know It

Scripture: Isaiah 33 I. God will be known in saving His people. A. In Isaiah 33 God’s people in Jerusalem were in danger – surrounded by the Assyrians. The Assyrians were called destroyer and traitor. They were bullies and cheaters. We see their cheating ways in 2 Kings 18:14 in King Hezekiah’s words to the…

Trusting in the God who Waits

Scripture: Isaiah 30 I. Why is God waiting? A. He is waiting for your repentance and faith. Jerusalem and its leaders did not trust in God. The LORD in vs. 1 calls the people of Jerusalem “stubborn children, who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my…
