Isaiah 6

Chapter 6 of Isaiah brings us to Isaiah's vision of God sitting on His throne in heaven, causing the prophet to grasp the true nature of sin, grace, worship, and Godliness. Listen to Hear the Word of God as Rev. Eric Alexander exhorts believers to consider these same qualities, that we might be a holy nation, set apart and shining with the glory of God in a dark world.

Isaiah 5

God had high expectations of the people of Judah, planting and tending them like the owner of a vineyard, and yet the contrast between his high expectations and the heartache he actually experienced are highlighted in Chapter 5. Woe unto you, Judah! Rev. Eric Alexander explains this song of lament and God's warning of judgment on Hear the Word of God.

Isaiah 2-4

Old Testament prophets at times seemed to be looking through a microscope to their present situation, and at other times through a telescope at the distant future. In Chapters 2 to 4, Isaiah does both, providing a contrasting picture of what Israel is called to be by God and what she has turned out to be in terms of her history, as well as what the future holds. Rev. Eric Alexander shines light on these passages on today's episode of Hear the Word of God. 

Isaiah 1

The Book of Isaiah opens with the theme of judgment, and concludes with a message of the salvation that God purposes to bring to His people. Speaking to the people of Judah in Chapter 1, the prophet Isaiah accuses them of forsaking the Lord, despising the Holy One of Israel, and turning their backs on Him, the same language that is used of the Messiah later in the book. Listen as Rev. Eric Alexander highlights the disconnect between the outward actions of God's people with their inward hearts on Hear the Word of God.

Hebrews 13:7-25

In these final verses of Chapter 13, the author of Hebrews continues to provide practical counsel for believers by exhorting them to remember. What does remembering mean in a biblical sense, and what should we remember? Tune in as Rev. Eric Alexander outlines principles to stabilize and strengthen our faith on Hear the Word of God.

Hebrews 13:1-6

When running a marathon, the course is clearly marked to show the participants the exact limits within which the race is to be run. Likewise in Chapter 13 of Hebrews, the author lays down clear guidelines for running the Christian race. Tune in as Rev. Alexander outlines the practical counsel given for the everyday situations faced by all believers on Hear the Word of God. 

Persecutors pursue their prey with intense concentration and zeal. Believers are to exhibit the same qualities as we strive to be at peace with all men, and to live lives of personal, practical holiness. Listen as Reverend Alexander exhorts us from Hebrews on Hear the Word of God. 

Hebrews 12:3-13

An essential part of the Christian's life includes periods of affliction, darkness, trial and trouble, for it is these times that build our character, strengthen our faith, and prepare us to help others. Listen as Eric Alexander shares from Hebrews 12 about how we are to view our sufferings on Hear the Word of God.

Hebrews 11:39-12:2

Building upon the illustrations of faith in Chapter 11 in which God's people were called to continue in faith despite tremendous obstacles, the writer of Hebrews now encourages the followers of Christ to run with perseverance the race set before them. Listen to Hear the Word of God as Rev. Alexander encourages believers to keep on, fixing their eyes on Jesus who will take them to the end.

Hebrews 11:26-39

So often faith runs counter to worldly wisdom. But faith takes its stand on what God has said and rests on His provision and His plan. Eric Alexander points to the Old Testament examples of Moses, Noah, Joshua and Rahab, each of whom found that the life of faith was really a fight of faith, one that needed to be fought with God's weapons, today on Hear the Word of God.
