Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 17, 2024

Ahab was king of the Ten Northern Tribes (Israel) and wanted to purchase a vineyard growing next to his palace, The owner wouldn't sell, so Jezebel (the queen) took matters into her own hands. The results were not pretty.

What Does It Mean To Be Commissioned?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 6, 2023

Isaiah’s perspective on God in the initial four verses gives us a feeling of God’s significance, power, and mystery. Isaiah's case of perceiving his sin before God urges us to admit our own wrongdoings.

Isaiah 6:1-13 The image of absolution that Isaiah gives advises us that we are pardoned as well.

Grace Abounding! Series

Contributed by Shine Thomas on Dec 1, 2023
