Sermon outline:
Isaiah 1:1–4 (NKJV)
1The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the Lord has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against Me;
3The ox knows its owner And the donkey its master’s crib; But Israel does not know, My people do not consider.”
4Alas, sinful nation, A people laden with iniquity, A brood of evildoers, Children who are corrupters! They have forsaken the Lord, They have provoked to anger The Holy One of Israel, They have turned away backward.
I Earnest pleading
II Foolish sinning
III Thorough cleansing
