The God Who Can Be Trusted

Isaiah 28-39

About the Sermon

In our last sermon from Isaiah we ended with a vision of a multi-national worshiping community (Isa. 19:19–25). For God’s people, threatened all around by imposing and wicked nations, this was a nice thought, but was it possible? Chapters 28–39 give us an answer: yes, because God is the God of promise-keeping power. How God will bring that about given His holiness and our sin remains for a future week. But with this text we will behold the saving power of God to do what He says.

About the Series

The book of Isaiah is the most quoted portion of the Old Testament in the New Testament. Clearly, it’s an important portion of Scripture. But if you’ve ever read through Isaiah, you might relate with the feeling of being lost. In this high-level series through Isaiah, we take a tour of this magnificent book. In the course of the series we come to see the unity and beauty of Isaiah’s prophecy. Isaiah opens with a vision of God’s people in rebellion and sin, and closes with a vision of a shining, singing, and secure city. How does the Jerusalem of chapter 1 become the Jerusalem of the end of the book given the unapproachable holiness of God, and how can we find ourselves in it? That’s the question we seek to answer together.
