Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Prayer will be at the Brown’s barn.

After finishing the last verses in the book of Isaiah last week, we will start to consider the summary of what we have been taught through these months in a series of three messages.  The first message is the charges against Judah, the second is the proclaiming of the gospel and the last will be on the promises of Christ’s kingdom.  This week we need to make certain that we have heard why God was filled with wrath against Judah, the ones who were called the people of God.  A majority of the verses in Isaiah are about God pouring forth His wrath because of sin.  We need to hear His charges against them and where they apply to us, we need to repent for the expectations for us are higher than for Israel and Judah.  “Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:28-29).”  But just as the threatenings are greater against those in the New Covenant, so are the promises which we will consider in the next couple of weeks.

The songs for Sunday are:

• To God All Praise and Glory
• Trust and Obey
• There Is a Fountain
• Before the Throne of God
• It Is Well with My Soul
