Introduction:
Major difficulties that the Prophet Isaiah and the nation of Judah was facing:
1. Threat of invasion by Syria and Israel (the Northern kingdom) (Isaiah 7)
2. The Death of king Uzziah (Isaiah 6:1)
3. Judah’s idolatry, wickedness, and injustice (Isaiah 1-4)
Text: Isaiah 6:1-13
A. Isaiah’s Encounter with God (6:1-3)
God reveals Himself as:
1. The Sovereign King who is exalted above all (v. 1)
2. Holy – Separated, or apart from humanity and its corruption (vv. 2-4)
3. The Almighty and Full of Glory (v. 3)
4. The only One to be revered and worshipped (vv.2-4)
B. Isaiah’s Response to his Encounter with God
1. Ardent Praise (v.5)
2. Acknowledged his Sinfulness (v.5)
C. God’s Response to Isaiah’s Worship and Humility
1. God showed Isaiah mercy (v.6-7)
2. God revealed Isaiah’s call and purpose (v.8)
Life Application: Just like Isaiah, when God encounters us with His presence and reveals His call for our lives, let us respond in worship, humility, and obedience, despite the difficulties we are currently facing in life. And when we do this:
· We will realize who we are in light of who God is = Humility
· We will know that God is for us = Help
· We will have a different perspective in facing life’s difficulties = Hope
