Unlocking Isaiah for the Bible Teacher.
In the period that Isaiah the prophet lived there was immense political upheaval across the ancient near-east. The people of God had a choice to follow their own human policies or to follow the promises of God. They choose to be unfaithful. The prophet breaks in and calls them to repent, urging them to stop violating the covenant. In today's setting, this is a message that your hearers will identify with; we can readily identify ourselves with the deceitful hearts of the people of Judah, and learn from their mistakes how our own divided hearts may equally lead us astray.
This is not another commentary, but a useful resource which will help the pastor/preacher, a small-group leader, or a youth worker communicate a message of grace when speaking from the book of Isaiah. It will give you help in planning and executing a lesson with background, structure, key points, and application.
