Christians have a lifelong goal: To become like Christ.
This involves change, and change isn't always easy. But the more you know of God's
purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan.
The LifeChange Series of Bible studies on books of the Bible can help you grow in Christlikeness
through a life-changing encounter with God's Word. You'll benefit in these important
ways:
You'll gain a firm understanding of the book its historical context, purpose, structure and
meaning;
You'll apply its powerful, relevant wisdom to needs and issues you are currently working
through; and
You'll acquire personal study skills and a thirst to return to the book on your own so you can
keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.
Isaiah -
His name meant the Lord is salvation and this was his message for over 40 years. Through
him
the Lord pronounced judgement on the proud who sought to save themselves. But through him
God also comforted the humble with glimpses of a Prince of Peace and a Suffering Servant - a
desert blossoming - the prisoners set free - the hungry fed - and the homeless sheltered.
