After Darkness, Light - Study Guide #2


In preparation for Friday night's study (November 17), read Isaiah 5 & 6, and consider the following questions:


1. Why was Israel under condemnation (see Is. 5 and 6:10).

2. Why would God call a preacher to preach for the purpose of making people’s hearts “dull”, “ears heavy”, eyes “blind (see Is. 6:10)?

3. Based on the entire chapter (Is. 6), why would Isaiah still want to preach for these sad results?

4. How does Isaiah’s ministry compare with yours?

~Have you encountered the Lord in His holiness?
~Do you have a heart to serve, leaving the results up to God?
~Do you preach/ share Christ with the remnant in mind?
~Do you disciple people understanding that God might have rejection planned for you?
~Have you ever thought that God’s plan is best no matter the results?
~How does a passage like
Dt. 29:29 help?

5. When considering
2 Cor. 2:14-17 do you see how Paul’s ministry parallels Isaiah’s?
