A Portrait and a Trial

A House For All Nations

What if the people who feel the most disqualified are exactly the ones God is pursuing? Isaiah 56 has a stunning answer for anyone who has ever felt too broken, too different, or too far outside to belong. God does not offer a reluctant acceptance. He offers a name, a place, and an inheritance that will never be cut off. His house has always been a house of prayer for all nations, and He is still gathering.

Unattractive Beauty

What if a book written 700 years before Jesus described His death in vivid detail? Isaiah 53 does exactly that. And the invitation it leads to is still open today: come, receive freely, and go tell others. Are you living like someone who has truly received it?

A Portrait and a Trial

What if the wilderness you are in right now is not a sign that God has abandoned you, but exactly where He has chosen to meet you? God told a forgotten, exhausted people that those who trust in Him will renew their strength and soar on wings like eagles. That promise has not expired. Hear what God says to the people who feel unseen.

Misplaced Trusts

When a crisis hits, what is the first thing you reach for? Your savings account? A trusted friend? Your own ability to figure it out? Isaiah 28 through 39 exposes six things people trust in that will ultimately fail them, and points to the only foundation that never will. If your faith would crumble without the things you depend on most, it might be time to ask where your trust actually lives.

Hope For All Nations

God called Egypt "my people" and Assyria "my handiwork." These were Israel's greatest enemies, and yet God's heart was for them, too. His love for the nations has never just been a New Testament idea. It has always been His plan. Who or what are you actually trusting for your security, your future, and your hope? Isaiah 13 through 27 has something to say about that.
