This sermon is a recap of the book of Isaiah. We look at some major themes in the book and then quickly walk through three chapters to serve as a summary.

From Isaiah 66. As is so often the case in Isaiah, blessings and judgment are spoken of in close proximity to each other in chapter 66. A key distinction seems to be listening to God. Those who are humble and who will listen put themselves in a place to receive blessings from God.

From Isaiah 65. This chapters makes a sharp contrast between those who serve God and those who forsake him. For those who serve him, we are told of some amazing blessings coming our way in eternal glory.

From Isaiah 63:15-64:12. We don't always know the right way to understand God. We don't always know the right way to pray. This section of Isaiah can help us to see that God is our loving Father and that we will be blessed as we seek him rightly.

From Isaiah 63:1-14. Wrath is a real thing. We should know about it. But salvation is a wonderful thing. God has told us about both his wrath and his salvation. Let us not be unaware.

From Isaiah 62. God wants to bring righteousness and salvation. He is pleased to have his light shine. He takes delight in his people.

From Isaiah 61. In this chapter, the Messiah is anointed to preach the good news. (Jesus quoted this very passage, saying he was the fulfillment of it.) This good news will bring wonderful changes for those who believe.

From Isaiah 60. God is light. God is glorious and beautiful. He has graciously revealed his light to us, so that we can walk in it instead of darkness. When we walk in his light, he transforms us.

From Isaiah 59. This chapter vividly describes the problem of sin and its terrible results. But, amazingly, it also describes what God himself will do to restore those who repent.

From Isaiah 58. In this chapter, the people are rebuked for thinking they were doing what was right, when in reality, their hearts were in the wrong place. Thankfully, God offers guidance and joy to those who will honor him.
