Isaiah & the Stranger: The God Who Turns Life Upside Down

Isaiah & the Stranger
The God Who Turns Life Upside Down
August 16, 2020

Have you ever had the experience of bumping up against someone else’s assumptions about you? Or maybe you’ve been the one making assumptions about someone else? You don’t have to look far to realize that most of us are pretty good at making assumptions…about all sorts of things. At least we think we are. It’s so much easier than doing the hard work of pursuing truth. This week, as we continue in our Stranger Things sermon series, we’re taking a look at the life of the Old Testament prophet, Isaiah. We don’t know a lot about Isaiah, but we do know from his writing that God called him to the task of challenging the nation of Israel on their assumptions about God. That’s right…they (and maybe even we?) had some deep-seated assumptions about God that were literally destroying their relationship with Him. Have you ever even considered what assumptions you might have about God that may not be true?
