Sermon: We need the Lord's Cleansing

We need the Lord’s Cleansing Isaiah 1:2-20 August 9, 2015 Pastor Tony Felich  ----more---- Isaiah 1:16  Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, [17] learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause. [18] “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. [19] If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; [20] but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”                                     Truth about our sin will lead us through a process that   culminates with the cleansing grace of God.   The truth about sin and rebellion (2-6)   The truth about sin’s misery and God’s discipline (7-10)   The truth about God’s view of empty worship (11-15)   The call to repentance (16-17)   Salvation (18)   Obedience (19)   Warning (20)
