Isaiah 28

Sermon Notes:

1) True Wisdom and Beauty in a Sea of Arrogance, 1-13

2) True Security in a Sea of Delusions, 14-22

3) True Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness, 23-29

Reflection questions:

1. What is the beginning of wisdom? What school do you have to attend to find it? (See Isaiah 28:5-6 and Proverbs 1:1-7.)

2. Which is better – seeking peace for the sake of peace, or seeking the hard truth of the present that eventually leads to peace? See Isaiah 28:14-22; Jeremiah 6:14; 8:11.

3. How does knowing that God has a purpose (and that it is good) make the present difficulties easier to endure? See Isaiah 28:23-29; Phil 3:20; 2 Cor. 4:16-18.
