Christmas trees, Costco, and…Isaiah’s throne room vision. In this message, Pastor Matt Ayars kicks off our series “The God Who Saves: Hope from Isaiah” with a simple but life-altering claim: because God is holy, things can change. Not just circumstances—us.
From a lighthearted holiday anecdote to Isaiah 6’s blazing holiness, we trace how encounter leads to transformation: “Woe is me” becomes “Here am I. Send me.” Along the way we talk about why the prophets can feel heavy, what’s really happening when the church gathers to worship, and why the resurrection guarantees that change is possible.
Key Scriptures
- Isaiah 6:1–8
- Acts 2; John 20–21 (Peter’s change)
