Hope & Judgment
Pastor Phil Christiansen
Through Isaiah 65-66, we see that God isn't interested in empty rituals or pretending. He desires humble, obedient hearts that genuinely seek relationship with Him rather than just His blessings. The text reveals that while judgment awaits those who rebel against God, an overwhelming future of joy, restoration, and intimacy with the Lord awaits His faithful servants. This includes the promise of new heavens and a new earth where sin, sorrow, and death are eliminated forever.
