Series Summary:

We all come to a place in our lives when we realize we can’t save ourselves. We are forced to ask: who will save us and how? Isaiah proclaims THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL’s justice against sin and rebellion, and hope as the saving Messiah. Isaiah’s message is simple: Yahweh, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, is Judge and Savior of His people (1-12), of the nations (13-27), of Jerusalem (28-39), while in exile (40-48), as the suffering Messiah (49-55), and as LORD forever and ever (56-66). #isaiah #2024 #2025

When was the last time you did something Noble?

Pray

Lord we thank you that you are The Holy One of Israel. You are Holy perfect in all you do and worthy of our worship and obedience. We like Israel are the ones who wrestle with you, fight to see you, know that you always win, and must understand you bless those you choose to bless. Thank you for for loving us, for forgiving us, and for restoring us. We live through you raising up and tearing down nations. You know what is coming and what has really happened. Help us to repent and live in response to your oracles and judgements for you take no pleasure in death. May we exalt and praise your name alone, follow your advice and wisdom, stop our rebellion, and return. Would you enable us in the power of the Holy Spirit to do Noble Things & Causes? Amen
