In his sermon on Isaiah 1–6, Stephen Davey explains that Isaiah ministers as God’s covenant spokesman, warning Judah of coming judgment while extending God’s gracious invitation to repent and be cleansed. Isaiah exposes a nation calling evil good and trusting in itself, yet God promises forgiveness as white as snow and reveals a future kingdom centered in Jerusalem under the Messiah’s reign. Davey highlights how Isaiah’s prophecies span both near judgment and distant end-times restoration, showing God’s sovereign control of history. The lesson climaxes in Isaiah 6, where Isaiah encounters God’s holiness, confesses his sin, receives cleansing, and responds willingly to God’s call despite knowing the people will resist his message. Davey concludes that success in serving God is measured not by visible results but by faithful obedience to the Lord who still asks, “Whom shall I send?”
