In his sermon on Isaiah 28–31, Stephen Davey explains how Judah’s refusal to trust the Lord led them to scheme for security through political alliances with Egypt rather than repentance and faith. Isaiah exposes the nation’s spiritual drunkenness, empty religious rituals, and mockery of God’s Word, revealing hearts that rejected simple obedience in favor of self-reliance. Davey highlights God’s gracious offer of a sure foundation—the promised Cornerstone, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ—contrasted with Judah’s unstable human solutions. Despite rebellion, God promises protection, deliverance, and future restoration for those who wait quietly and trust Him. Davey concludes that faith is not manipulation or strategy, but resting confidently in God’s power, timing, and sovereign care.
