Today: [Isaiah 1] Is Jerusalem Sodom and Gomorrah? In this lesson we begin our study of the book of Isaiah. Isaiah was a young man from a privileged family when he began to prophesy during the reign of Uzziah. Though there was a time of relative calm and prosperity Isaiah sounds the alarm against the consequences of the idolatrous practices of the people. As we read the words of the Lord through Isaiah the question is would we be able to have a moment of clarity to look at ourselves with honesty to identify sin and things displeasing to God even though outwardly we were religiously devout?
