Justice and Mercy

In the year King Uzziah died, Isaiah saw the Lord—high, lifted up, and holy. His response? "Woe is me, for I am ruined." When we truly encounter God's holiness, we can't help but see our own need for cleansing.

God's message through Isaiah still speaks today: He takes sin seriously, but He also offers radical forgiveness. Though Judah's sins were "scarlet," God promised to make them "white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18). The same God who called out injustice and oppression also promised a coming Messiah—the Prince of Peace from Isaiah 9.

This week we're diving into Isaiah's prophecy, discovering how ancient words carry timeless truth. God will judge sin, but He will lift up His people through Jesus. The question isn't whether God is holy—it's whether we'll respond like Isaiah did: with humility, confession, and willingness to hear His voice.

Join us as we explore what it means to encounter the Holy One of Israel.
