The Grand Vision: God's Story Through Isaiah: A Great Light Beyond the Darkness

When Assyria threatened to destroy both Israel and Judah, Isaiah saw beyond the darkness to a coming light. Dr. John walks through Isaiah 6-12, from the prophet's temple vision to his confrontation with King Ahaz during the Syrian-Israeli invasion. When Ahaz refuses God's offer of a sign, Isaiah turns to all Israel with a greater sign: a virgin will conceive and bear a son. The very region first destroyed by Assyria—Galilee—would become ground zero for Jesus' ministry, bringing light to those who walked in darkness.

The Grand Vision: God's Story Through Isaiah: Isaiah is the second-most quoted book in the New Testament, yet many Christians have never studied it deeply. In this 10-message series, Dr. John guides listeners through this essential prophetic book, exploring Isaiah's 50-year ministry during one of Israel's most turbulent periods. From temple visions to confrontations with kings, from oracles against nations to prophecies of the coming Messiah, Isaiah reveals God's sovereignty over all history and His plan for the world through Jesus Christ.
