Season 1
Isaiah 60 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 60 we consider the light that has come - which is Christ. We discover that God is building a New Israel which includes the faithful from the Old Israel along with those from the nations (aka the Gentiles) who have come to love Him.
Isaiah 59 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 59 God outlines the depressing and helpless state of his people. They are so rebellious that he wants to turn his face away from them, but in the end He helps them, because he is able to do so. His hand is not too short it seems.
Isaiah 58 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 58 it seems there were people making a great show out of their fasting practices, but simultaneously motivated by selfish motives, and even eating while they should be fasting. Isaiah the prophet speaks the Lord’s word and outlines what constitutes a true fast.
Isaiah 57 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 57 we explore why good people sometimes die young - we expect them to live a good long life, blessed by God, but why in some cases do they go away? Thee are good reasons it seems, says the prophet Isaiah
Isaiah 56 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 56 we find what seems like a great overturning of previous things God has said about eunuchs and foreigners. IN Deuteronomy it seemed they were kicked out of God’s presence, but here we find them welcomed in. Why the difference?
Isaiah 55 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 55 we are told to buy things without money - but how? By listening to God, that is how. This chapter explores the benefits that come to those who take time ot know what God is saying to them.
Isaiah 54 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 54 we meet the woman who is unable to have children, and yet she is deliriously happy because of the number of children she has. Paul speaks of her in Galatians also. This video speaks of being barren, of having children, and what it means for us of faith.
Isaiah 53 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 53 we meet the suffering servant, the man of sorrows who very convincingly is Christ the Messiah. It's no wonder that Jewish people are uncomfortable with this chapter as it portrays the Messiah suffering for the sins of others, which Christ clearly did.
Isaiah 52 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 52 Israel is asleep and God is trying to wake her up. More specifically it is Jerusalem who is asleep. IN this video we explore who Jerusalme is that is being talked of and why she needs to wake up.
Isaiah 51 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 51 a word from the Lord comes to His people to listen - a word that is repeated multiple times through this chapter. However it turns out that God is not speaking to all the people called by HIs name - but only to those true to Him within that group.
