April 27, 2025 - We’re diving into Isaiah 44:9-20, where the Bible roasts idols and how we chase after things that can’t help us. It’s a wake-up call. We see three big ideas: (1) Idols Are Nothing and Those Who Make Them Are Blind, (2) Idolatry is Self-Made and Self-Serving, and (3) Idolatry Blinds the Heart and Starves the Soul. Whether it’s success, approval, comfort, or control, this message hi...

April 13, 2025 - Isaiah 40 is a mountaintop passage, quoted by Peter, John, and every Gospel writer in the New Testament. It is meant as a source of encouragement and comfort.

March 30, 2025 - Making righteous choices, and not purely diplomatic ones, has led to tremendous pressure on Judah from Assyria.

In contrast to this u...

Isaiah 26 joins the church in waiting for the future consummation of God’s Kingdom and affirms our doubts and fears as we live in the in-between. Isaiah reminds us of all the tremendous blessings we have been given in Jesus, invites us to participate in the great responsibilities we have been given on ear...

Joy comes in the final establish...

February 9, 2025 - The imagery of God as a potter is woven throughout Scripture, emphasizing His sovereignty over nations and individuals.

This chapter serves as both a warning and a comfort, reminding us that God’s justice is perfec...
