Isaiah 56-57

At this point in Isaiah, the prophet addresses the leaders of God’s people, chastising them for their failure to lead with wisdom and zeal. We discover what it means to be a watchman or shepherd, faithful to the whole of God’s truths. Reverend Eric Alexander challenges us to be people of vision, with a heart for God in our time, on Hear the Word of God.
