Throughout this book of Isaiah we’ve seen how important holiness is to God. And it ends with a reminder of the choice before each of us.

Throughout the Bible God warns us of coming judgment on those who reject the Messiah and the free gift of salvation in Him. But it also speaks of the glory of the Millenial Reign ahead for followers of Christ. Today Isaiah speaks of both in a powerful way and it would be good of us to consider where we’re headed in life and if a change of direction is needed.

We’re going through the Book of Isaiah and today the plan is to cover chapter 57. The children of Israel were abandoning the things of God and turning to the things of the world. Spiritual adultery and idolatry. Sound familiar? We see that happening all around us today, don’t we? Just as He did with Israel, God is willing to extend His grace and mercy to us if we’ll humbly turn to Him in faith.

How often have we heard it said in the modern-day world, “This is my truth!” But what is the source of all truth? It’s not what we determine it to be, but rather God and His Word. As the culture changes from one year to the next, the Word of God never changes and it’s something we can hold on to. Today on His Perfect Love we’ll turn to the source of truth, the Bible, for insight and application to our lives.

At a well in Samaria, Jesus told a woman that drinking the water from the well will result in her being thirsty again. But He offered to her water that would quench her thirst forever. We’ve been going through the Book of Isaiah with pastor Matt VanderVen and we’ll be studying chapter fifty-five, where the prophet writes about food that is good for our soul. We wouldn’t last very long without food for our bodies. Likewise, the Bible teaches that we’ll ultimately perish without our soul food.

Today we continue through the book of Isaiah. God watched as Israel went off its own direction, away from Him. As many of us can attest, that’s a bad move, and one that leads to hurt and trouble. But in the passage before us today, we find the Lord drawing the nation back into His favor and promises to turn her mourning into singing. Today we’ll take notice of an exhortation to worship in faith, receive encouragement to expand without fear, and get an explanation concerning the future too!

If asked to identify your master passion in life, what would you say? The essence of idolatry is living for anyone or anything other than God! Sadly there are many idolaters roaming the earth today just as they were in Old Testament times. Isaiah chapter forty-one describes a “showdown” between God and the idols of the people. Let’s make sure we’re living for the true God who alone can save. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1729/29?v=20251111

Pastor Matt VanderVen is in the middle of Isaiah, and today he approaches chapter 31. If we had to sum up this chapter in a few words they could be, “Return to Me!” That’s really what God is communicating to the people of Judah, through His prophet.

Pastor Matt VanderVen will open the book of Isaiah today. And in chapter thirty the children of Judah are doing something we’re all prone to… trusting in their own abilities, strength and intellect.
