Isaiah's main theme isn't just judgment or hope—it's God himself. Dr. John walks through Isaiah chapters 1-5, showing how the prophet contrasts a sinful nation with the Holy One of Israel. These opening chapters set Isaiah's pattern: confronting present sin while pointing to future glory, from the Assyrian threat to the coming Messiah. Through the song of God's vineyard and a series of woes against injustice, Isaiah shows that there is no true good apart from God's glory.

The Grand Vision: God's Story Through Isaiah: Isaiah is the second-most quoted book in the New Testament, yet many Christians have never studied it deeply. In this 10-message series, Dr. John guides listeners through this essential prophetic book, exploring Isaiah's 50-year ministry during one of Israel's most turbulent periods. From temple visions to confrontations with kings, from oracles against nations to prophecies of the coming Messiah, Isaiah reveals God's sovereignty over all history and His plan for the world through Jesus Christ.
