This chapter introduces the major characters, and especially Ruth, who puts her faith in the God of Israel

Hezekiah seeks Isaiah’s help and goes before the Lord in prayer. There, he finds the hope that was always available.

Joel prophesies the day when God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh.

One of the great messages of the Bible is that there are only two destinies for every single person on earth. Isaiah gives us the picture of a way of wilderness and waste and a way of holiness and joy.

Isaiah expresses the plea of the people of God as they see danger beyond their ability to handle. Their only hope is to wait upon the Lord. The Lord answers their prayer and shows His power and authority.

God promises to restore the land, dwell with his people, and not let them be put to shame!

Joel speaks of the Day of the Lord, and how our only hope is full and complete repentance.

Where the ungodly are under judgment, repentance is their path to hope. The Lord is not merely the One who sits in the heavens in judgment; He is the great King who preserves His people.

Isaiah warns us about the dangers of such stubbornness and highlights the great blessing of seeking the One who “waits to be gracious to you.”

A terrible plague of locusts has struck Israel! The solution is to call upon the Lord and repent.

As we conclude the series on Stewardship, we look at what the Scriptures have to tell us about our “Attitudes in Stewardship.”

Paul ends this amazing letter with a focus on prayer and the people of God.

We would be wise to look at our “Investment in Stewardship” (Luke 19:11-27) in such a way as to bring the greatest glory to our God and Savior.

See how God commands us to work, not for ourselves or for man, but for the Lord.

Paul moves to “The Gospel in Stewardship” (2 Cor. 8:6-15), linking the work of God in the hearts of believers to their abounding in good works, including stewardship and generosity.

See how God addresses each member of the family, and how he calls us to honor Christ in the home.

We are encouraged to think about our possessions and what we have with a perspective of how we can benefit others in need. When we look to the Lord Jesus Christ, we will see the “Blessings in Stewardship.”

The Rhythm of the Christian life is fighting indwelling sin, and growing in Christ.

The Apostle Paul, in writing to the congregation at Corinth, reminds us that God’s grace is found in the generosity that flows from God’s people. God gives grace to His people, which results in joy and an eagerness to bless others.

Isaiah tells Judah that the Lord is about to show them that He does not take kindly to being ignored. Following those warnings, Isaiah then begins to set forth “The Lord’s Wondrous Works” that He will perform for His people (Isaiah 29:1-24).

The Apostle Paul urges us to keep our hearts and minds on Heaven, where Christ is seated.

Paul addresses false teaching in Colossian church, and their sinful emphasis on rituals over grace.

The Lord is the one who has laid the foundation for safety and blessing, and whoever looks to him will be saved. This passage was often used by the New Testament authors to point to Jesus Christ, who is “The Precious Cornerstone.” (Isaiah 28:1-29)

There are those who experience the discipline of God and are brought to repentance, faith, and trust in Him. For them, the suffering they experience is but a “light momentary affliction” (2 Cor. 4:17) that is “not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed” (Romans 8:13).

At the cross, Jesus has overcome our debts and our enemies.
