A Superior, Astounding Savior

Isaiah 44

Sermon Notes:

1) The Only God Who Can Save, 1-8

2) The gods Who are Only Good for Firewood, 9-20

3) The Only God who Astounds as He Saves, 21-28

Reflection questions:

1. If a human says, “I’m the only one who can save you,” then what would you call it? If God says the same thing, what would you call it?

2. What is an idol? A carving of wood or stone? Something you trust more than God? Something that you think can give your life ultimate meaning and purpose? Who worshipped/worships idols?

3. Why did God use Cyrus to release God’s people out of exile? Read Romans 11:33-36, and ask yourself: What does this passage show me about God that I need to understand better?
