The UnPreached Sermons

  When God Fights for His People Isaiah 8 reminds us that even when God rises up against those who rise against Judah, His people are not to gloat over their enemies’ downfall. The Lord wants our eyes fixed on Him , not on what happens to others. He says, “For whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye.” (Zechariah 2:8) What a beautiful assurance! God takes our pain personally—He defends, protects, and restores. But He also wants us to let Him handle justice. When we celebrate the fall of others, even the wicked, we step outside His character. Judah rejoiced over the fall of their enemies, and because of this disobedience, God allowed the Assyrian invasion —yet even in His anger, He promised to be their protector. Oh, what love this is! 💔 Even when we turn away, He cannot turn His face from us completely. Even when He disciplines, His heart aches with love. How painful it must be for Him—to love so deeply and yet be rejected by the ones He treasures most.   Learning to ...

 The story of King Ahaz is one many of us can quietly relate to. He was terrified. He feared for his life, for his people, and for his nation’s future. The threat of invasion hung over him like a dark cloud — ready to take away everything he had ever known: his safety, his home, and his hope. It wasn’t just an army at his gates — it was fear itself closing in. The kind of fear that shakes your faith, clouds your judgment, and makes trusting God seem impossible. But right there, in that trembling heart, God speaks gently yet powerfully: “Do not be afraid. It will not happen.” What a comforting voice in the middle of chaos. When life feels like it’s falling apart, when the unknown looms large, God still whispers the same thing today — “Don’t be afraid, child. Trust Me.” Faith That Holds You Firm There’s one verse in this chapter that carries such deep truth: “Unless your faith is firm, I cannot make you stand firm.” — Isaiah 7:9 How profound is that? God reminds u...

Isaiah 6 is a chapter that humbles and stirs the heart. It begins with a breathtaking vision — the prophet sees the Lord seated on His throne, high and exalted, His robe filling the temple. ‘’The whole earth is full of His glory.”  (v.3) What a declaration! God’s glory truly fills the earth — His beauty is everywhere. The mountains wrapped in snow, the fiery sunsets, the still oceans, the whispering winds through trees — all declare His glory. From the peaks of Zion Canyon to the depths of the sea, from the heights to the darkness, the earth speaks of His excellence and splendor. Creation is a living testimony of His presence — everything that has breath echoes His majesty. The God Who Yearns for My Voice (v.4) Even with the thunderous praise of the seraphim surrounding His throne, my Lord still desires  my  voice. The Creator who commands angels still yearns for human prayer. He listens to our cries, our whispered thanks, our broken confessions. Before I even ask, He kno...

Isaiah 5 is one of the most emotional chapters. It shows how much love and care the Lord had for His people — and how deeply it hurt Him when they turned away. God Himself planted a vineyard. He didn’t ask anyone else to take care of it — He did everything with His own hands. He cleared the land, picked the best seeds, built a watchtower, and even dug a winepress Himself. That vineyard was His people — His precious nation. He gave them everything they needed to grow and bear fruit. But instead of sweet grapes, they produced bitter ones. Instead of faithfulness, they gave Him rebellion. After putting in so much love and care, imagine the pain when His people rejected Him. When God’s Love Meets Rejection The Lord expected justice, but saw injustice.He expected righteousness, but heard cries of pain.So, in His sorrow and anger, He decided to remove His protection. He let the vineyard be torn down — just as He allowed Israel to face the consequences of their actions. It’s not that God stop...

  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...
