Sermons on Isaiah
No Resurrection?
Please be seated. Our reading from the New Testament will be first Corinthians chapter 15. And we will just for reading sake from a previous message a few weeks ago, read verses 12 through 19. But our main focus today will be verses 29 to 34. Uh, so in 12 through 19, we have those, uh, arguments Paul made for the, uh, the resurrection of the dead. And then he says a little something else we looked at last week.…
Lord’s Day 35: The Second Commandment
Okay, Romans chapter 1 verses 18 to 23. This will help us think through how the pagans worship and why we don’t want to worship God in the way of the pagans. We’re thinking tonight of the second commandment, no graven images. And so Romans chapter one, beginning at verse 18 says, the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth for what can be known about…
And So You Believed
You may be seated. Please turn again in your copy of the scriptures to first Corinthians chapter 15. Today, we will be reading verses one through 11. The entire chapter of Corinthians, the 15th chapter is about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. the fact of it, the validity of it, and the benefits of it to us as believers. So over the next several Sundays, we’ll be taking a look at the importance of the resurrection and the…
What Best Serves the Church
1 Corinthians 14:1-25; Isaiah 28 You may be seated. Please turn in your copies of the scriptures to 1 Corinthians chapter 14. I think it has been since March the 8th that we last studied 1 Corinthians. And so we will spend the next few weeks looking at chapters 14 and 15. There’s lots to consider. And just by way of reminder, there are about 20 problems in the Corinthian church that are relevant to us today. This particular section…
Lord’s Day 15: He Suffered
Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Matthew 26:36-46 Okay, let’s turn to Isaiah 52, verse 13. It is a familiar passage to us. We read often around Easter. Of course, we went through Isaiah and probably hit on this passage back in, I don’t know, last spring or summer. So Isaiah 52, beginning at 13, God’s word says, behold, my servant, the suffering servant, remember? My servant shall act wisely. He shall be high and lifted up. He shall be exalted as many were…

Hebrews 2; Isaiah 52-53
The Church and the Graveyard
Isaiah 66:1-6
When Church Is Full
Isaiah 66:7-14 In our reading from Isaiah 7, you’ll see a picture of the people of God, people from every tribe, but also every tongue and every nation. And tonight in Isaiah 66, we’ll see the church grow overnight, so to speak, much like Pentecost. So here God’s word, Revelation 7, John, The old and aged apostle says, after this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth,…
All Flesh Shall Come to Me
Isaiah 66:10-24 So our New Testament reading will be from Isaiah, I’m sorry, from Revelation 21. This is a picture of the end times, the heavenly city. So Revelation 21, verse one, John says, I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and the sea was no more. I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God prepared as a bride adorned for…
Re-Creation
Isaiah 65:17-25 Let’s hear God’s word together. Isaiah 65, beginning at verse 17. So remember God is responding to the prayer of Isaiah. Does God hear us? And does God care about our condition? So he’s begun to answer that. And we pick up in 17, for behold, I create new heavens and a new earth and the former thing shall not be remembered or come into mind. but be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create. For…
Sabbath People
Isaiah 56:1-8 Hear God’s word, Isaiah 56, beginning at verse one. Thus says the Lord, or Yahweh, keep justice and do righteousness for soon my salvation will come and my righteousness will be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say, the Lord will…
Come!
Isaiah 54-55 Y’all will remember over the last bunches of weeks, really once we got to chapter 40, one of the things that we’ve heard over and over is Israel or God’s people have two predicaments. One predicament is they’re stuck in Babylon. So there’s a geographical problem. Then the other predicament, a bigger, worse one, is they are exiled from God because of their sin. So God is going to repair their exile problem geographically through Cyrus. Cyrus will…
