In this first of a two-part episode of Help Me Teach the Bible, I talk to Liam Goligher, senior minister at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, where he has been preaching through the book of Isaiah. In Part 1 covering Isaiah 1–39, Liam discusses:
- the significance of King Ahaz and King Hezekiah
- applying Isaiah’s preaching to today
- the holy seed and righteous branch
- the human and yet divine baby to be born
- the fundamental problem of God’s people
- the significance of Egypt throughout the Bible
- Isaiah’s credibility based on short-term prophecies
Here are some audio resources you may find helpful in preparing to teach Isaiah:
- The Gospel According to Isaiah, a sermon series by Liam Goligher
