Sermon – Pictures of Judgement and Grace: The Angel of the LORD (Isaiah 36:1-37:38)

Read the text – Isaiah 36:1-37:38

The people of Judah face a number of crises from within (their own sin) and without (the alliance of Israel and Syria, the power of Assyria). Who will they trust to rescue them? Themselves? Foreign Nations? or God Almighty?

This is the culmination of everything so far. Jerusalem is under siege, and the situation, humanly speaking, is hopeless. In this sermon, Stephen Hawkins outlines the historical context and explains the choice that the people in Jerusalem are faced with: Who will they trust? There is only salvation when they trust in God for deliverance, and that salvation may be unexpected and beyond belief.
