The Prophet Series: Isaiah part 5; chapter 8: the Cornerstone
Isaiah part 5, chapter 8: the Cornerstone Many of the chapters in the Book of Isaiah stand alone. Chapters six through ten have to be dealt with individually in any article.

Prescott AZ Notes
Grace & Truth Ministries / Prescott AZ Conference 2019 April 5 – April 7. 2019 Man is dear to God because he is like Him.

The Prophet Series: Isaiah part 1
The Prophet Series: Isaiah, part 1. The length of the Book of Isaiah makes any “summary” challenging. One can easily forget what he has learned from one section to the next.

The Prophet Series: Isaiah, Introduction
Isaiah, Introduction The frequencies of my blogs have slowed. There are reasons for this. One is that I have started the Book of Ephesians and the workload for getting us off the ground in this grand epistle has been time consuming. Two, I knew that I was going to write about Isaiah next in our series and the thought of...October
