Good Morning “Spirit Filled”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 3.  The message of restoration upon repentance is clear in this chapter.  This prophecy is a message of hope for all who would return to the Lord.First, though, it also contains a strong warning.  Judah knew the Lord had given Israel a “decree of divorce” (verse 8) for her idolatry. Yet, she imitated Israel’s faithless example. Judah’s sin wa...  Read More

Good Morning “Not Deceived.”  Today we are in Jeremiah 2.Despite the Lords care of Israel, despite His freeing them from Egyptian oppression, Israel sought other Gods.  God, through Jeremiah, reminds us of His watch care.  Literally out breath and everything else - comes by His hand.  Yet… Israel turned away.  They fed their flesh.  They turned to other gods, gods of pagan nations - which are real...  Read More

Good Morning “Willing”. Today we start Jeremiah chapter 1.God spoke through the Prophet Jeremiah for 40 years - from the end of the Assyrian period until Judah was taken into Babylonian  captivity.  The book of Jeremiah bounces back and forth in time, but the over all theme is consistent within its self.  It’s also consistent with the rest of Scripture - evil will meet with justice, sin will be de...  Read More

Good Morning “Pleasing to God”.  Today we wrap up Isaiah with chapter 66.“These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.” Isaiah‬ ‭66‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬The Word of The Lord through Isaiah here, begins with God referencing the temple of the Tribulation and those who offered sacrifices there.  They rejected The Lord and His Word, while prac...  Read More

Good Morning “Faithful”.  Today we are in Isaiah 65.Chapter 64 can be seen as a plea from Isaiah on behalf of Israel.  The nation, at least some, have fallen to their knees and now ask for their Savior to come.  That said, it makes sense to look at chapters 65-66 as the answer to the prayer of Isaiah 64.“After all this, O Lord, will You hold Yourself back? Will You keep silent and punish us beyond...  Read More

Good Morning “Masterpieces”.  Today we are in Isaiah 64.  As we study Israel, and Her rebellion, repentance and redemption there is much of us to consider and apply.  Israel is hardened for this time… we’ve talked about this.  God is simultaneously shaping Israel into the nation He desires Her to be while drawing Gentiles to salvation through Jesus (Romans 11:25).In this chapter Isaiah gives us pr...  Read More

Good Morning “Never Alone”.Today we are in Isaiah 63.  “Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson? Who is this, robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his strength? “It is I, proclaiming victory, mighty to save.” Isaiah‬ ‭63‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬“He is mighty to save”… sing it with me… This is it!  The 2nd coming (to earth) of Jesus.  He will return with t...  Read More

Good Morning “Named by God”.  Today we are in Isaiah 62.  God will not rest until what He has promised is fulfilled. Having spoken it God will bring it to pass.  He promised Salvation for Israel. He is Faithful, and will remind the world of such once again.The righteousness of Zion alluded to in the last verse of chapter 61, will shine out like the dawn. Similarly think of the imagery we have beco...  Read More

Good Morning “Partakers of the New / Everlasting Covenant”.Today we are in Isaiah 61.In this chapter Isaiah outlines the New or “Everlasting Covenant” offered to Gods people.  Old Covenant, New Covenant, Everlasting Covenant… what are we talking about here.First remember a “Covenant” is not a contract.  A contract can be broken.  It assumes - I will, if you do.  A “covenant”, simply stated, says I...  Read More

Good Morning “Restored.”  Today we are in Isaiah 60.Yesterday’s chapter focused on our universal sin problem, and Gods seemingly harsh response to it.  God is Holy!  Sin in no joke to Him!  It’s serious.  Within yesterday’s chapter the offer of Salvation through the coming Messiah was clear (Isaiah 59:1, 20).  That declaration was future prophecy for Israel, as well as us, Gentiles - “others”.  Th...  Read More

Good Morning “Weary of Sin.”  Today we are in Isaiah 59.  It seems like we talk about our sin, repentance and redemption through Jesus A-LOT!  I know this.  Where’s the bunnies and rainbows?  Honestly… not often found in Scripture.  We talk about sin a lot, because Scripture addresses it from beginning to end.  It runs hand in hand with the offer of Salvation by Grace through Messiah - from beginn...  Read More

Good Morning “Humble Repenters.”  Today we are in Isaiah 58.  Would you say you are a pretty humble person… or do you struggle with pride?“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive thei...  Read More
