Good Morning “Those Who Want The Truth.”  Today we are in Isaiah 24.  I would venture to say that Isaiah 24 isn’t the go to passage for many progressive, “feel good”, “seeker friendly”, “prosperity gospel” messages.  This prophecy CAN be horrifying.  Summary: All the earth is destroyed, and its inhabitants suffer in unimaginable ways.  Even in the midst of all of this there are some that are singi...  Read More

Good Morning “Stuff Rejectors.”  Today we are in Isaiah 23.  Tyre is an ancient Phoenician city on the coast of the Med.  Today it’s part of southern coast of Lebanon. It’s a city that began on the mainland but later moved to an off shore island about a half mileaway.  It was a heavily protected and fortified city.  Tyre was a seaport of worldwide importance in its day. It was the principle seaport...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who Heed Warnings.”  Today we are in Isaiah 22.When hail warnings go out in Eaton, you can count on neighbors bringing their cars over to the church?  Why?  They look to park their cars under our porte-cochere.  That’s a French word for large covered area we drive under, typically when unloading into the Family Activity Center.  Neighbors believe hail is coming and want to prot...  Read More

Good Morning “Wrecked”.  Today we are in Isaiah 21.  Know that as Isaiah lays out Gods plans for the judgment of Israel’s enemies we typically see both a near term judgment and a future “End Times” final judgment.  At times these appear intertwined and can be challenging to differentiate without other Scripture.  For instance “… Babylon has fallen, has fallen!…” Isaiah‬ ‭21‬:‭9‬ ‭Seems to be a nod...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who Know Where to Look For Help.”  Today we are on Isaiah 20.What do we know about Isaiah?  Honestly not much. Today we learn the depth of his obedience.  Many within the Church Body are willing to serve in those “honored” areas, but fewer are willing to serve in areas no one sees.  Even less yet, are willing to serve in areas that are humbling… even perhaps demeaning.  For ins...  Read More

Good Morning “Repenters”.  Today we are in Isaiah 19.Here Isaiah gives us a look at Gods judgment for Egypt.  “In that day”… signals that these are future events.  We get some very clear details that point to a coming day of suffering that brings about repentance and even acceptance of yet another nation of gentiles… at least some of them (Revelation 7:9).“See, the Lord rides on a swift cloud and ...  Read More

Good Morning “Anxiously Awaiting.” Today we are in Isaiah 18.  Let’s review what we’ve learned from Isaiah’s prophecies regarding Gods pending judgment on the nations that oppose Israel:- Babylon was a message of how the enemy and his forces godown in flames, but Israel rises from the ashes- Philistines taught that the throne of David will rise again, even ifit appears to have faded, and it will c...  Read More

Good Morning “Full of Life.”  Today we are in Isaiah 17.Anyone involved in ministry has experienced laboring with little or no apparent fruit. We can even convince ourselves that our mission field is hopeless - but that’s simply exhaustion, weariness speaking.  God can produce trophies of grace from the most unpromising of conditions.  Chapters 17-19 give us encouragement to that fact.If you’re li...  Read More

Good Morning “Hearts Like Jesus.”  Today we are in Isaiah 16.Isaiah’s prophecy concerning the Moabites covers two chapters: 15-16.  Chapter 15 gives a picture of their total destruction.  16 gives us some of the reasons why.  See Jeremiah 48 for more of the story.  Within a short period, Isaiah’s words were fulfilled.  Assyria came onto Moab, marching southward and driving those that escaped the s...  Read More

Good Morning “Thankful You Didn’t Live in Moab in This Day.”  Today we are in Isaiah 15.In 15 we look at Moab’s judgment.  15 and into 16 appears as a simple chronicling of the events that took place.  That doesn’t mean it is void of application for us.  Let’s break it down a bit and begin to look at the way in which God judges the nations who positioned themselves against Israel, and His people.F...  Read More

Good Morning “aliens”.  Today we are in Isaiah 14.A couple weeks ago, as I was searching and checking sources on the Internet, I stumbled upon a heading “UFOs Are in The Bible.”  Perplexed I clicked.  What I found were multiple references to “aliens” in Scripture.  Ha ha… ok.  That’s NOT the kind of aliens God was talking about.  Sometimes the same word is translated foreigners, or strangers.  Unl...  Read More

Good Morning “Anticipators of The Day of The Lord.”  Today we are in Isaiah 13.Isaiah can be a scary book.  Particularly for the unbelieving, hard hearted, rebellious, unrepentant sinner.  But for the True Believer in Jesus… it shouldn’t be.  Isaiah 13 describes serious judgment, punishment and destruction.  It begins a section that goes on to chapter 23, describing Gods judgment upon nations that...  Read More
