A message from the series “Isaiah: The Holy One of Israel Saves.” Isaiah 36 and 37 teaches us that there are 3 voices we should recognize from the siege of Jerusalem: the voice of reason undermines God’s authority, the voice of faith flies to the throne of God, and the voice of power thunders God’s justice.

A message from the series “Isaiah: The Holy One of Israel Saves.” By reading Isaiah 32 and 33 we can see that there are two ways God’s future impacts how we wait for it today. We should live today in light of God’s transformed future and we should realize that our hope today determines our future.

A message from the series “Isaiah: The Holy One of Israel Saves.” Isaiah 30 and 31 teaches the importance of functional faith and the follies of trusting what we see and the follies of trusting what we want to hear.
