Lesson 9: Preparation for our May 14th Study

Our Memory verse:  Isa 7:9b -- we didn't quite get to it last night, but you can start working on it now.  

Themes:  
1) Mankind is under indictment!  We have been diagnosed with a terrible malady.

2) God is the moral authority in the universe!  That's because He is . . . 

3) God graciously offers salvation to rebellious and sinful mankind.

4) Choices have consequences.  

Just two things for you to ponder this week as we make our first foray into chapter 6.  Read Isa 6:9-13.

1.  Is there anything in the passage that seems unfair to you?  Or, stated another way, is there something that doesn't seem consistent with the way God normally does things?

2.  If you have ever tried to share the gospel with a hard-headed person and been rebuffed, it is quite natural to think, "Now what?"  Have I fulfilled my obligation to be Christ's ambassador, His witness?  That's exactly the issue that Isaiah raises in vs 11.  What do you think about God's answer?  How do we make application?
