“Here I Am. Send Me.”             Text: Isaiah 6:1–13 (NLT)

Opening Reading: Isaiah 6:5-8 (NLT)                    Theme: The Holiness of God.
Big Idea: A fresh vision of the enthroned Christ dismantles our pride, cleanses our sin, reshapes our calling and sends us into a world that desperately needs the hope only He can bring.

Side Theme: Sent Ones - Christians are fundamentally “Sent Ones” and witnesses of Christ - this is not optional, but an essential part of their identity. This missional purpose reflects God’s heart, with Jesus embodying divine love and God’s longing to gather people to Himself. 

Sent Ones = witnesses of Christ, who reflect God’s heart. (Gatherers of God’s people.)

Isaiah's readiness to be sent foreshadows the ultimate sending of Jesus Christ, who was sent by the Father to fulfill His redemptive mission (John 3:16-17).[1]
