Isaiah (Season 1): The Tale of Two Cities - Adam Mabry
November 26, 2023 • Adam Mabry • Isaiah 24:1–3, Isaiah 24:7–12, Isaiah 25:6–9, Isaiah 26:1–6, Isaiah 27:1
Those who love the lofty city with its promises of immediate gratification await God’s judgement. In contrast, those who remain faithful to God will reap the rewards of the heavenly city. God’s message through Isaiah tells us that what we love today, what gives us joy and pleasure, reveals where we live.
Isaiah (Season 1): Egypt’s Pride - Adam Mabry
November 19, 2023 • Adam Mabry • Isaiah 19
Chapters 13–23 are full of judgment passages against seven different nations. The passage addressed to Egypt makes the target clear—pride. God confronts their pride, yet judgment is the very instrument God uses to transform Egypt into a worshiping nation. In this sermon, we explore what Egypt’s story has to do with us.
Isaiah (Season 1): Ahaz's Choice - Don Weiss
November 12, 2023 • Don Weiss • Isaiah 7:1–14, Isaiah 9:2–7
We all have our coping mechanisms, and so did Ahaz. When Ahaz ruled Judah, he faced a threat from surrounding kings. God sent Isaiah to tell him that he didn’t need to fear, only to trust. Ahaz chose to trust in something other than God. We face the same choice and the same outcomes.
Isaiah (Season 1): Isaiah’s Mission - Adam Mabry
November 5, 2023 • Adam Mabry • Isaiah 6
God promised to transform Judah from something rotten into something beautiful. But how? Instead of getting the “how” we get to the “who.” God promises to use Isaiah in the transformation process. Isaiah’s call informs the call of every disciple of Jesus, and shows us how God uses us in his plan to renew our world.
Isaiah (Season 1): How does THIS become THAT - Adam Mabry
October 29, 2023 • Adam Mabry • Isaiah 4:2–6, Isaiah 1
We kick off season one of a series in Isaiah this week. The first chapter introduces us to the book as a whole, and what we see is a promise of transformation for Judah. It leaves us with the question: How will this Judah become that Judah? And that question leads to other questions: How will this church become that church? How will this me become that me? Isaiah 1 points us to the answer.
