Description

When a beloved king dies and the nation teeters on the edge of collapse, Isaiah is given a vision that changes everything: God is still on the throne, blazing with holiness, and ready to cleanse and commission even the most unworthy sinner. Isaiah 6 is not just a dramatic Old Testament story; it’s the moment God reveals His unshakable sovereignty, His terrifying glory, and His astonishing grace that turns despair into mission.

In this week’s episode, we explore:

• The historical moment when King Uzziah’s death opened the door to Isaiah’s life-changing vision
• What Isaiah actually saw: a throne that never vacates, a robe that fills the temple, and seraphim crying “Holy, holy, holy”
• Why seeing God’s glory instantly undid Isaiah and made him cry “Woe is me!”
• How a burning coal from the altar brought instant, complete cleansing—no effort required
• The stunning contrast between proud King Uzziah who was struck with leprosy and humble Isaiah who was touched with grace
• God’s surprising call to a ministry that would harden hearts yet preserve a holy remnant
• How this vision sets the stage for the Servant Songs and the hope of a coming Savior

By the end of this episode, you’ll stand in awe of the Holy One who rules over every crisis, you’ll feel the weight and wonder of your own cleansing through Christ, and you’ll hear the same voice asking, “Whom shall I send?” with fresh courage to answer, “Here am I. Send me.” This is the vision that turns ruined sinners into joyful servants—and it’s still available today.
