Psalm 92:12-15 

Worship God! 

Isaiah 6:1-8 

Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose – and all of this gathered up in adoration. 

-William Temple 

SETTING: Isaiah began his ministry at the end of the reign of King Uzziah.  

SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD: God was revealed as the Sovereign, holy God of Israel.  

SEEING GOD: Isaiah was given a glimpse of God. 

SEEING OURSELVES: Isaiah’s experience of God’s presence led him to a realistic understanding of himself. 

SANCTIFIED BY GOD: God can cleanse us of our sin and sanctify us for His purposes. 

SERVING GOD – Worshiping God should lead us to a humble response of obedience, rooted in love.
