Truth vs. Twisting: Isaiah 5, Leviathan, and Courage for the Remnant | KIB 502 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20, ESV). In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 502, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake address today's climate of fear, the cultural normalization of darkness (especially around Halloween), and the Leviathan spirit that twists truth and communication. From Isaiah 5's “wild grapes” to Jesus' teaching on the vineyard, we explore how societies—and even churches—descend into madness when they reject God's covenant, and how the remnant can stand firm in humility, prayer, and truth. Key Scriptures (ESV): Isaiah 5:1–7, 20 — Wild grapes & calling evil good 2 Timothy 1:7 — “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” John 15:5 — “I am the vine; you are the branches…” What you'll gain: biblical clarity on fear vs. faith, how to recognize Leviathan's twisting, practical steps for spiritual warfare, and hope that God is extending a “loop of mercy” for preparation and harvest.
In this episode of Bible Talk, Alex chats with Jim and Sam about Isaiah 5, a sobering passage about God's judgment.

Our reading today examines the lives of two descendants of David who each reigned as king over Israel. First: Abijah, who reigned for only 3 years, but who made an impassioned speech against Israel's king Jeroboam, warning him that he should not wage war against the Lord and those who serve Him. Abijah's son Asa takes the throne after him, and Asa devotes himself to the Lord for most of his life. The Lord rewards Asa's faithfulness by blessing the nation of Judah with a long period of peace. When the threat of war finally becomes immanent, Asa fails to consult the Lord, and instead turns towards another king for help. 2 Chronicles 13 - 1:13 . 2 Chronicles 14 - 5:59 . 2 Chronicles 15 - 10:10 . 2 Chronicles 16 - 13:29 . 2 Chronicles 17 - 16:34 .

A Painful Conversation Lectionary Date: August 17, 2025 [10th Sunday after Pentecost, Year C] Paul explores a painful AND hopeful dialogue between Israel and God, in the vineyard metaphor. Please take a moment to subscribe to the First Reading YouTube channel, and consider sharing with your networks and social media platforms. Thanks so much!
Join Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Rolf Jacobson as they dive deep into the lectionary readings for the 10th Sunday after Pentecost (August 17, 2025). In this episode, they explore the challenging theme of division that Jesus brings, not as his goal, but as an inevitable result of following his way. Our hosts unpack Luke 12:49-56, where Jesus speaks of bringing fire rather than peace, and discuss how this passage connects to the realities of following Christ today. Whether you're a preacher preparing for Sunday or someone seeking a deeper understanding of these challenging texts, this conversation offers thoughtful biblical interpretation and practical wisdom for navigating the complexities of faith in community.

It's easy to see the Bible as fable, a kind of religious fairy tale with a moralistic sting in its tail.Passages like this one show that much of the book is rooted in actual historical events.These chapters are a snapshot of the late eighth century BC Middle East.The prophet Isaiah is begging the king of one of these nations (Ahaz of Judah) not to enter an alliance with two others (Israel and Aram) against the threat of an invasion from the Assyrian Empire.Instead, Ahaz should rely on God.In his prophecy which involves naming his own children as a sign to Judah and describing dead bodies lying like excrement on Jerusalem's streets, Isaiah appears to predict the arrival of Jesus, a divine rescuer who he refers to enigmatically as 'The Light of the World.'Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffSend any comments or feedback to contact@whollybuyable.comX: @WhollyBuyable

TPR DFW - The Prayer Room - Dallas Fort Worth - Missions Base
The Word of God is beautiful and layered, filled with God's heart, purpose and agenda. It may be surprising to hear that there are over 150 chapters in the Word that are dedicated to the end time storyline, that is the generation leading up to the return of Christ, His appearing and the time period after He comes. This is a tremendous amount of information in the scripture, more it written about the final generation than any other generation in the Bible. In order for us to qualify one of these chapters from the Bible as counting as an end time chapter more than 50% of the chapter must be about end time themes. With that said there are many other passages and verses which qualify as contributing to the end time storyline which are not included in the 150 and which will not receive the same level of attention in this course.

The Tale of Two Vineyards (Isaiah 5:1-7) - Evening Sermon
Colossians 2 together with Romans 6 provides the most complete description of what baptism is and what it achieves. Verses 1-5 tell us that in Christ we find a complete embodiment of the wisdom of God in a single individual. So we, the body of believers need to model and pattern ourselves on the Lord Jesus Christ. Verses 9-10 tell us that all can know about the Almighty is to be found in Christ. Verses 11-15 describe what baptism is – it is like circumcision in that it tells us that “in the flesh” – that is within our nature (dwells nothing innately good). There is nothing in human nature that can do anything good for God. And so human nature is rightly related to death. In dying Christ destroyed a body identical to ours – in that every sin which has been done could have been done in Jesus' body. The Jews and Romans were driven by the lusts of their natures to try to destroy our Lord Jesus Christ. But by not yielding to the passions which controlled his enemies our Lord victoriously triumphed in his sinless death. That death on the stake was a demonstration of the truth that human nature is rightfully related to death. Only when the lifeless body of our Lord hung on the stake was sin conquered in him and in his resurrection the process of salvation completed for him – and by establishing a basis for our forgiveness and thereby the way for our salvation. Therefore in crucifixion Jesus destroyed sin (called in Hebrews 2 “the devil”). So from verses 16-21 Paul tells the Colossians to focus on the pivotal and central teachings of the truth, and not to be distracted by side issues.

Everything seems right - God has planted a vineyard and tended it, but then bad, stinky fruit emerges. What has happened? How can we make things right? Chad gives another encouraging lesson and meditation on this passage, helping us to trust fully in the work of God. Even if we are plowed up and torn apart for a season, perhaps He is accomplishing the good that He wants for us, the good we cannot do for ourselves. Bryan Duncan and guitarist Kid Ramos team up on this song that speaks of God cultivating beauty from the wasteland.

Had God provided all that was needed for His vineyard?
Isaiah 5:24-30 vividly portrays the fire of judgment and the hope of redemption. The passage emphasizes judgment's swiftness, severity, and certainty. Yet, amid this darkness, there remains an undercurrent of hope. Though delivering a message of impending destruction, Isaiah ultimately points to God's sovereign plan, where judgment serves as a precursor to redemption. This passage is a sobering reminder that while God is just in punishing sin, He is also merciful, preserving a remnant and preparing the way for salvation.
After addressing the dangers of corrupt passions and possessions, Isaiah turns to an even deeper issue—corrupt principles. When greed and indulgence dominate society, the next inevitable step is the distortion of truth itself. In Isaiah 5:18-23, the prophet condemns those who redefine morality, calling evil good and good evil, embracing deception, arrogance, and injustice. This woe highlights the tragic reality that when people reject God's standard, they create their own, leading to widespread moral decay.
Message from Gene Cunningham on March 28, 2025
This passage is a sobering reminder that when people persist in sin, they inevitably invite divine judgment. The sins that plagued Judah are the same sins that permeate societies today—unchecked greed that leads to oppression, unrestrained pleasure-seeking that blinds people to the truth, and the distortion of morality that justifies evil. Yet, amid judgment, God's heart still longs for repentance. This sermon will explore Isaiah's three key denunciations: the woe of corrupt possession (injustice), the woe of carnal pleasure (indulgence), and the woe of corrupt principles (immorality). This passage reveals the timeless truth: a nation that rejects God's righteousness will ultimately reap the consequences of its rebellion. However, God's grace remains the only refuge from impending judgment for those who turn from sin.
This passage is not just an ancient story about the people of Israel. It is a mirror for all believers, challenging them to consider the condition of their hearts and their faithfulness to God. Have they, like Israel, been given every opportunity to bear good fruit for God's kingdom but failed to do so? Like the vineyard, have they been given everything they need but turned away from His purposes for their lives?
Doug Horchak discusses Isaiah 5:20-21—“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!”
Isaiah 5 begins with the prophet's song concerning the vineyard of his Beloved. Although the LORD did absolutely everything for His people, they did not produce the good fruit of justice and righteousness. Instead, they produced the bad fruit of bloodshed and outcry. For that reason, the LORD tells Israel and Judah that judgment is coming, as the prophet speaks woe to them for their greed, drunkenness, and pride. They have perverted the LORD's Word, and so He promises that He will bring the Assyrian army against them in judgment. The LORD's people today must hear the call to repentance and turn to Him for mercy. Rev. Philip Hoppe, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Colby, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 5:1-30. "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 1-39. The prophet proclaims to the people of his day and throughout history that the Holy One of Israel alone is exalted. Those who put their trust in the strength of man will be brought low, but those who trust in the LORD will see that He is their Immanuel. Jesus is God with us who reigns over the kingdom of God forever and ever! Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
