A Panoramic Vision of God


We have started a sermon series through the book of Isaiah. Here are 15 scenes of God's glory in Isaiah from this past Sunday morning:
1.       God’s frustration over His people’s sin (Isa 1:10-15; cp. Isa 65:1-7)
2.       God’s glorious future for all people (Isa 2:2-5; 66:23)
3.       God’s passion for justice (Isa 3:13-15)
4.       God’s majestic holiness (Isa 6:1-8)
5.       God’s righteous wrath against an evil world (Isa 13:6-13; 24:1-13)
6.       God’s perfect redemption (Isa 25:6-9)
7.       God’s awesome greatness (Isa 40:12-18)
8.       God’s constant faithfulness (Isa 40:27-31)
9.       God’s complete forgiveness (Isa 43:25)
10.   God’s incredible power (Isa 44:24-28)
11.   God’s excellent sovereignty (Isa 45:1-7)
12.   God’s promised Servant-King (Isa 52:13-53:12)
13.   God’s amazing mercy (Isa 54:7-8; 55:1-2)
14.   God’s remarkable future for Israel (Isa 60:18-22; 65:17-25; 66:18-20)
15.   God’s full blessing for His servants (Isa 65:13-16)

39 times over 20 chapters (41-60), God speaks of who He is for His people: “I am your God…” (cf. Isa 41:10; 43:15; 46:9; 51:15).
