In the oracles to Damascus, Cush, and Egypt, there is much about the judgement of God. However, God’s judgement is not arbitrary. In these passages we will see that God’s judgment has purpose, is reasonable and shows us why we should trust Him.

Isaiah tells a tale of Moab’s distress and their cry for assistance from Judah. In this story we learn of the Lord’s compassion for sinners, of His requirement for salvation and of the blinding nature of pride.

How can Christians ensure that they are maturing in Christ? In our passage, Paul reproves the Corinthians for their immaturity and points them to God’s truth.

Paul explains in this text how the Lord gives true wisdom to those who are alive in Christ. The exhortation is a simple one; we have everything we need in Christ.

In the oracles against Babylon, Assyria and Philistia, the Lord shows that he humbles those who exalt themselves against Him. In these oracles we learn that the safest place to be is humble before His Sovereign Glory.

Paul continues in his admonition to the church in Corinth regarding their idolising of messengers. As he continues, he emphasises the cross as central to our salvation and that it must not be tainted by vain words and concern with form. This Lord's Day evening we will consider the importance of the substance of the message of the cross.

We resume our Isaiah series in chapter 13 as Isaiah pronounces oracles against Gentile nations. What we find in this first oracle to Babylon is that the Lord knows and controls the future—and that is reason enough to trust in Him.

Having once been Gentiles in the flesh, the Ephesians are exhorted to put off their old self with its sinful practices, and to put on their new self which has been created in true holiness and righteousness. As former spiritual Gentiles ourselves, this text helps us to see what forsaking our previous practices looks like, and what taking on Godly practices means.

Paul exhorts the church at Corinth to beware of dividing over different preachers and teachers. The church, if she is to remain faithful to Christ, but not be filled with people who follow "Apollos" or "Paul." This Lord's Day evening we will study this command.

Paul begins his first letter to the Corinthians by reminding them that they are made rich in Christ. This Lord’s Day we will consider this passage and remember the blessings of faith as we begin our exposition in the book of First Corinthians.
