Podcasts about Isaiah 58

Rev. Adam Taylor joins Jen and Patrick for a wide-ranging conversation about peace, justice, and the prophetic vision of Isaiah 58. He shares how his own faith journey, shaped by interracial family roots, the civil rights movement, and Black church tradition, led him to Sojourners and to a deep conviction that peace is more than the absence of conflict.The episode explores why justice and peace are inseparable, how Isaiah 58 challenges transactional religion, and what it means to become a “repairer of the breach” in both public life and personal discipleship.TIMESTAMPS:00:54 - Peace defined as wholeness and right relationship05:20 - The Jim Wallis course that led to Sojourners08:59 - Why peace and justice belong together10:06 - Biblical justice language: mishpat and tsedek13:13 - Isaiah 58 in context: exile and true fasting17:18 - Why injustice is structural, not just interpersonal24:15 - Moving beyond zero-sum thinking31:53 - Wages, land, labor, and other biblical justice issues35:32 - Pastoral advice for people resistant to justice language43:07 - How unjust systems advantage some and trap others49:57 - “Repairers of the breach” and the call to peacemaking52:48 - Breath prayer: “Be still and know that I am God”For full show notes and transcript, visit https://proclaimpeace.org

Send me a Text Message!When it comes to keeping the sabbath, basically God has said, "Once a week I'm gonna to carve out a day for you. I'm gonna remove it from the curse; call it holy so that Satan can't mess with it and I'm going to fill it with blessings. Primarily the blessing of me. And I'm good. I'm so good. You won't regret this day. It'll be like the old days, back in the garden. It's gonna be a day where I can remind you that I love you and I actually want to spend time with you. You are my delight."What if that was what the Sabbath was all about? And if that's what it's all about…would you really want to miss it? Wouldn't it be your best day of the week?

#198// If something in your life is being torn down right now, hear this. Demolition is not a sign of failure. It is the first step of restoration.A relationship. A season. A ministry. A version of yourself you spent decades building. And somewhere in the noise of it, a question forms that you have not said out loud: what if this is it? What if this is just where my life stays now?It isn't. Wherever God is tearing something down in the life of a believer, He is preparing to build. Victory is your portion in Christ Jesus, and He does not leave anything fallow forever. But it is on you to decide what your demolition means.In this week's episode -- it's the message I shared this past Sunday at REVIVE Church of Tampa -- I'm walking through Isaiah 58:11-12 and what God showed me about the difference between a life stuck in permanent demolition and a life that is actively being restored.Here's what we get into:→ STOP TRYING TO BE THE FOREMAN. The thing a general contractor told my husband in the middle of a demolition that will change how you survive every tearing-down season of your life→ THE WORD TO TETHER YOURSELF TO. Three promises hidden in Isaiah 58:11 that you can declare over a life that currently looks like a construction site, and why your feelings will follow your believing→ THE STRONGHOLD WEARING A DISGUISE. The thing you've been protecting because you believe you won't be safe without it, and the four-word declaration God is waiting on you to say→ IT WAS INSIDE BEFORE IT WAS OUTSIDE. The dream God gave me about our church building before a single wall came down, and what it reveals about what He has already placed inside you→ AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE. What Peter's total collapse teaches us about restoration, and the line in 1 Peter 5 most of us have been taught to skip right over

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: In Isaiah 58, we see the worship the Lord truly loves: self-denial and sacrificial love for the poor. Spiritual devotion without sacrificial deeds is deadly, but obedience walks in His light. ABOUT THE HEIGHTS CHURCH: We are a church making disciples of Jesus for the renewal of Denver.

Fasting is one of the more mysterious aspects of walking with God. Yet God gives us clear instructions about what a true fast looks like, and it's probably not what we'd expect. Today we look at Isaiah 58 which unpacks God's clear purposes for this important aspect of spiritual life. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    When you think of the spiritual discipline of fasting, what comes to mind? Have you ever fasted? If so, why? What for? How did you do it?  2.    According to verse 1, what is the general subject matter of this message for God's people? What is Isaiah to declare to the people?  3.    The podcast warned that verse 2 is tricky to understand unless we notice that word "as". What does the word "as" indicate? Why is this key to understanding why (in verse 3) they are not seeing "results" from their spiritual deeds? 4.    These people were "fasting" but in the wrong way. Why were they fasting in verse 4? Why would that be a problem? How do people still fast in these ways today?  5.    What is the right way to "fast" in verses 5-7? Why is this true fasting? Given what you know about fasting, is this a surprise? In light of these teachings, would you say that fasting is to seek God to align your will with these pursuits? Why or why not?  6.    What promises does the Lord give in verses 9-11? How would you describe or characterize these blessings? Why does proper fasting ensure these kinds of blessings?  7.    In verse 12, what kind of society will this kind of fasting produce? How do you think "fasting" factors into this kind of reform?  8.    Looking over verse 13, what kind of attitude ought they to have for the sabbath? What does this kind of attitude demonstrate? How is this different from the predominant attitude they had towards the sabbath? When they have these kinds of attitudes, what kinds of blessings will they receive in verse 14?  9.    How has this chapter changed your understanding of fasting? What is its purpose? What does it accomplish?  10.    Think over the next few weeks in your life. Is there a time when you can apply these principles to your own life and "fast" in the way that we see in Isaiah 58?

The LORD shall guide thee continually

In Mission and the Fraser Valley, many vulnerable young people — facing homelessness, addiction, mental health struggles, and aging out of the foster system — actually choose to sleep on the streets rather than in shelters with adults. The need for a safe, youth-specific space is real and urgent.MY House was born when a local team took an abandoned building and turned it into exactly that: a nurturing home. Open since September 2015, it serves young people aged 14–24, welcoming 10 to 28 visitors every single day. It's not just a drop-in — it's a place where youth build life skills, pursue employment, practice relationship skills, and access peer support for recovery. At its heart is a simple but powerful idea: every young person needs at least one trusted adult in their corner.The invitation to love our neighbours is straightforward — show up. Whether supporting Mission Youth House through cooking a meal, doing yard work, giving monthly, or simply spreading awareness, or showing up personally in the life of a youth who is struggling, there are real, tangible ways to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the youth in your neighbourhood.

When it comes to humanitarian aid or assistance, or to social justice work, does the Bible put the responsibility on the church as an organization?  Or does it put the responsibility on church members as individuals or families?   Let's see what we can discover from scripture.Isaiah 58:6-7 KJVIs not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?Related Podcasts:— Standing Up Against the WrongRelated Podcasts (at TrueWisdom):— Don't Wait to Stand Up— Caring for Who God Cares ForText UsSupport the showSend questions or comments to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comThe Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.  We have an extended, 24-part podcast series on these principles, and a condensed, 9-part series called God's Precious Word, that is based on the same resource.We also recommend that you check out the True Wisdom podcast which I co-host with Robert Baker -- a different format for Bible Study.Finally, check out these awesome Bible Maps!We pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.

God calls us in His word to delight in Him and to seek Him alone. Isaiah reminds us of the danger of false, performative religion. We are always to choose God over our own desires and instead be “Delighting in the Lord” (Isaiah 58:1-14).

Episode Title: Do you want to delight in God more?Episode Description:In Isaiah 58:13–14, God makes an incredible promise: that His people will delight in Him, be lifted up in their spiritual lives, and be deeply satisfied in His provision. But this promise doesn't stand alone—it comes with a path.In this sermon, we explore what it means to truly honor the Lord's Day. What does it look like to stop trampling it? How can we learn to delight in it rather than endure it? And how does setting apart one day in seven actually lead us into deeper joy in God?Far from being a burden, the Sabbath is a gift—a weekly invitation to rest, worship, and communion with God. And ultimately, it points us to Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Sabbath, in whom true rest and lasting delight are found.Key Passage:Isaiah 58:13-14Sermon Outline:The Promise: Delight, elevation, and satisfaction in God (Isaiah 58:14)The Problem: Trampling the Lord's DayThe Invitation: Delighting in the Lord's DayThe Practice: Honoring the Lord's Day in everyday lifeMain Takeaway:If you want to delight in God, learn to delight in the day He has set apart for Himself.Application Questions:In what ways might you be treating the Lord's Day like any other day?Do you view Sunday more as a burden or a gift—and why?What would it look like to structure your day around worship, rest, and fellowship?How does Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, reshape the way you think about rest?

Isaiah 58:6-8New Living Translation6 “No, this is the kind of fasting I want:Free those who are wrongly imprisoned;    lighten the burden of those who work for you.Let the oppressed go free,    and remove the chains that bind people.7 Share your food with the hungry,    and give shelter to the homeless.Give clothes to those who need them,    and do not hide from relatives who need your help.8 “Then your salvation will come like the dawn,    and your wounds will quickly heal.Your godliness will lead you forward,    and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.Music: "Rest in the Shadow" by Julian & Melissa Wiggins,Used with permission.

We can only rest when we enter into the mission of God. What is the mission of God? Isaiah 58 describes it as a fast that looses bonds of wickedness and frees the oppressed. And sharing bread with the hungry and bringing the homeless/poor into your house. Jesus says what you have done to the least of these you have done unto me. We pray you are encouraged by this sermon from Isaiah 58 to live out the mission of God in your own lives!

What if we've lost something that our soul actually needs? Fasting is one of the most forgotten practices, and maybe the most understood. Drawing mostly from Isaiah 58, this sermon unpacks the ancient practice of fasting: what it is, why many have largely abandoned it, and why it keeps showing up in the lives of people who actually want to change. This isn't about performance or behavior modification. It's about something deeper -- what's really driving our desires, what's keeping you stuck, and how God meets you in it. Together, we'll wrestle with questions like:Why does fasting feel so hard -- and why might that matter? What does it actually do in us, not just for us? And what if fasting isn't just about you.....but about others? Whether you're spiritually curious, stuck, or longing for something more real with God, this message invites you into a practice that has shaped followers of Jesus for centuries -- and still has the power to change lives today.

In this sermon we look at three scriptures passages in order to explore the light of God that has been revealed in Jesus. May we encounter the crucified Christ raised from the dead in these words.

Today’s Bible Verse: “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday” — Isaiah 58:9–10 Isaiah 58:9–10 reveals a powerful promise: God responds when His people live with compassion. This passage reminds us that faith is not only about devotion, but about action—showing up for others in tangible, loving ways. Want to listen without ads?

Sure! Here is the complete description, ready for you to copy and paste:Podcast Episode TitleMidday Bible Study: Isaiah 58:1–14 | From the Hypocrisy of Religion to the Hope of RelationshipEpisode DescriptionAre we just going through the motions, or are we truly seeking the heart of God? In this power-packed midday study, Pastor J dives deep into Isaiah 58, a chapter that serves as a divine "wake-up call" for every believer.We often confuse religious activity—like fasting and ritual—with true righteousness. But God is looking for more than just a bowed head; He is looking for a broken heart that leads to a transformed life.In this episode, we explore: * The Mask of Religion: Identifying the "form of godliness" that lacks real power. * The Fast God Chooses: Understanding how true worship is tied to justice, compassion, and breaking the chains of the oppressed. * The Promise of Restoration: How transitioning from "Religion" to "Relationship" unlocks the promise of being a "watered garden" and a "repairer of the breach."If you've been feeling spiritually dry or wondering why your prayers aren't hitting the mark, this study is for you. It's time to move past the outward show and step into the authentic, life-changing hope found in a genuine relationship with the Father.

Gain the upper hand in your spiritual walk this year. David Antwi teaches on the 'priesthood of all believers,' encouraging you to take personal responsibility for your spiritual growth. Learn why fasting is not about forcing God's hand, but about preparing yourself to receive the answers He already has for you.

In this message from our From Ruin to Redemption: The Gospel According to Isaiah series, Pastor Dave Hentschel walks through Isaiah 58:1–14, confronting the danger of empty religion and calling God's people back to the kind of worship that reflects His heart for righteousness, justice, mercy, and peace. Isaiah exposes the worship God rejects—religious activity divorced from love for neighbor—and reveals the worship God desires: lives marked by compassion, integrity, generosity, and the pursuit of restoration in both society and the home. Through Scripture and a powerful closing drama that brings Truth, Mercy, Justice, and Peace into conversation, this message points us to reconciliation as the meeting place of God's character—and ultimately to Jesus Christ, who perfectly fulfills what Isaiah calls us to become.In the end, Isaiah 58 reminds us that God restores what we have ruined by drawing us out of hollow religion and into lives shaped by justice, mercy, and reconciliation through Christ.
