The UnPreached Sermons

  When People Seek Their Own Way Isaiah 4 begins with a sobering picture: women longing to marry for the sake of a name, not from God’s leading or covenant. They were self-sufficient, able to provide for themselves, yet still desired the appearance of security. But instead of waiting on the Lord, they leaned on their own understanding. They did not realize that their ruin came from His hand, a call to repentance. How often do we do the same—patching our lives with temporary fixes instead of returning to God, who alone can restore us? Holy Survivors of the Storm And then comes the shift. In verses 3–5, the Lord paints a breathtaking promise: “those who are left in Zion… will be called holy.” Do you feel the weight of that? In the previous chapter, the Lord spoke of destruction and judgment. But here, He promises that those who survive—the faithful remnant—will not just live, they will be glorified by being called holy . What a glory it is to be recognized by the Lord Himself...

  God’s Anger and His Image Isaiah 3 paints a sobering picture of God’s anger—not because He delights in destruction, but because His children failed to reflect His image. The people of Jerusalem and Judah turned away from depending on the Lord for food and water, and instead leaned on sorcery, astrologers, and fortune tellers. Their dependence shifted from the Creator to created things. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies Notice how God reveals Himself differently depending on the context. When He comes in judgment, He reveals Himself as the Lord of Heaven’s Armies . This is not a gentle name—it is a name of power, authority, and unstoppable justice. It reminds us that God is a commander, a warrior King, who cannot be mocked and who will bring down every proud heart. The God of Jacob But when He comes in compassion, He reveals Himself as the God of Jacob . This is the name of covenant, of mercy, of restoration. By calling Himself the God of Jacob, the Lord reminds us that He does not aban...

  As I meditated on Isaiah 2 , my heart was filled with hope. This chapter speaks powerfully to those who are waiting upon the Lord—to see Him, to walk in His ways, and to hope for their loved ones to be saved. What a glorious time it will be when peace will reign everywhere! God Himself will mediate between nations, and international disputes will be settled by His wisdom. No more war, no more conflict—just peace and love under His rule. A Personal Hope for Salvation I have been praying for my friends and loved ones to know Jesus. I’ve shared the gospel with them, often wondering, “Am I doing enough for their salvation?” But verse 3 reminded me of God’s promise: “People from many nations will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord…’” This gives me hope that the people I pray for will be among those nations. My prayers are not in vain. The Lord is faithful to draw hearts to Himself. So, don’t give up on your favorite people—keep praying, keep loving, ke...

While meditating on Isaiah chapter 1, the Lord began to stir my heart in a deep and personal way. This chapter reveals the pain of a loving and compassionate God whose people turned away from Him, yet it also carries His unchanging promise to restore them if they return with humility. As I prayed, the Spirit opened my eyes to truths about rebellion, repentance, prayer, and restoration—not just for Judah and Jerusalem, but also for the nations today. Being someone who belongs to India but now lives in the USA, God especially moved me to pray for India and America. God’s Grief Over Rebellion Isaiah 1 paints a vivid picture of a people who turned away from their God. They had a Father who cared for them, yet they chose rebellion (Isaiah 1:2) . They offered prayers, sacrifices, and rituals, but their hearts were far from Him. The Lord even says their hands were full of blood—meaning their prayers had no weight before Him because they were not backed by holiness, humility, or true repentanc...
