Meet Me in Isaiah
Prophecies about Israel’s coming Messiah are all throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, but Isaiah 53 is such a concise and precise description of this Messiah, who sounds just like Jesus! Written about 700 years before Jesus’ birth, we all - Jew and Gentile alike - can find comfort in the reliability of God’s Word and His promises for us. Meet Jesus in the Hebrew book of Isaiah and meet people who have met Jesus! We all need this Messiah.

When two nations united to attempt an attack on Judah, the hearts of the king and his people "shook as the trees of the forest shake from the wind." But God called the two threatening nations "two stumps of smoldering logs." The God of the universe is intimidated by NOTHING and wants us to trust Him and remain in His peace even if earth shakes beneath us (Psalm 46).
If your heart is trembling today, then join u...

Isaiah must have had his own Road to Emmaus moment when he met Jesus after he was martyred. Can you imagine his shock to find out that the One he beheld in his throne room vision was the Messiah Himself? The fact that Jesus left His throne to come to earth to be mocked, misunderstood, and killed must only mean one thing: He loves us beyond our wildest imaginations! Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 6 Isaiah 11:1 John 12:37-41 John 1:1...
In Isaiah 5 we see that God's anger was not satisfied, and then in Isaiah 54 we see that He swore He would never be angry with His people again. The vineyard pictured in Isaiah 5 was producing terrible fruit, despite the fact that the Gardener took such special care of it. Today, we take a look at hints about the Messiah from Isaiah, who would come and bear good fruit and lead the people in righteousness. Jesus could have had I...
We talk a lot on this podcast about how Isaiah (and the rest of the Old Testament) points us to Jesus. Maybe you see the evidence, but still have a hard time entering into a relationship with Jesus, not because you don't believe with your head, but because your heart has been hurt. Maybe the very ones who were supposed to point you to Him, actually became a stumbling block to receiving His love.
Do you ever read passages like Isaiah 3 & 4 and see God as mean and uncaring? Be honest! Today, we are going to look at God's heart of compassion for His people and for you by looking at an example of God's shocking forgiveness and restoration of one of the most evil kings in Judah's history.

Isaiah 3-4
Jonah 4:2
2 Chronicles 33:1-13
Isaiah 30:18
Lamentations 3:33

Welcome to the 5th episode in our Road to Emmaus series! In today’s episode we will get a glimpse of hope - the New Jerusalem - in the midst of the prophecy of coming judgment. The disciples were confused at Jesus' death because they thought He was the One who would "redeem Israel (Luke 24:20-21)." They didn't realize that their greatest enemy was sin -and Jesus came to take care of that first. There would be a pa...
Welcome to the 4th episode in our Road to Emmaus series! In today’s episode we will see that God actually turned His hand against His people, calling them His "enemies." His heart, though, was always to restore and Jesus brought this to light with His parable of "The Prodigal Son." What Jesus did for us on the cross, brought us into right relationship with God, so we will never have to be His enemies again if we...
Welcome to the 3rd episode in our "Road to Emmaus" series! Today we will see that God's people had divided hearts and yet were still going through all the motions of worship. God tells them very plainly through the prophet Isaiah, that He does not want that kind of worship but instead wants their hearts. We struggle with the same issue today, though it may look a lot different. Even if we are not bowing down to pagan ...
