Isaiah (28): God's Judgement on Jerusalem

The sermon examines Isaiah 22, contrasting God's impending judgment on Jerusalem with the promise of a faithful servant who typifies Christ. It highlights the tragic response of the people, who ignored the warning of Babylonian invasion and instead relied on their own strength and the corrupt steward Shebna, embodying a hedonistic unbelief summarized by the phrase, "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." In contrast, God raises up Eliakim, whose name means "God will establish," serving as a type of Jesus Christ who holds the key of the house of David and provides a secure place for the soul. The message urges listeners to recognize that true repentance involves turning from self-reliance and idols to trust wholly in Christ, the ultimate peg in a secure place who upholds all who believe in Him.
