Isaiah A New Hope Series

Isaiah A New Hope

For the first time in the Bible we hear about "the Gospel" - the announcement that God is coming to his people to save them and lead them home to his kingdom. The fulfilment of this comes when Gods Son Jesus comes preaching that Gods kingdom has arrived because he has arrived.

 The New Creation

As Australians when we reflect on Gods promises in Isaiah 65 of long life, stable law and order and the ability to have a place to call home we don't get that excited as we already have these things for our natural life. God is offering eternal comfort (66:10-14) and...
