Key verses:
Isaiah 6:1-8

The presence of God is a sacred space where transformation begins. Drawing from Isaiah 6:1-8, the sermon explores how an encounter with the divine reshapes perspective and purpose. Isaiah’s vision reveals the majesty and holiness of God, seated on a throne, with seraphim proclaiming in Isaiah 6:3, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.” This vivid imagery sets the stage for a journey into divine reverence and personal renewal.

Encountering the Presence of God

Isaiah’s experience in God’s presence is overwhelming yet purifying. Seeing the Lord high and lifted up, he becomes acutely aware of his own unworthiness, confessing in Isaiah 6:5, “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips.” This conviction is a pivotal moment, as it leads to cleansing when a seraphim touches his lips with a coal from the altar, declaring in Isaiah 6:7, “Thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.” The sermon emphasizes that entering God’s presence exposes our flaws but also offers forgiveness and restoration.

Responding to the Call

In Isaiah 6:8, once cleansed, Isaiah hears God’s call: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” His immediate response, “Here am I; send me,” reflects a heart transformed and ready to serve. The message underscores that true worship in God’s presence leads to a willingness to act on His behalf, carrying His glory into the world.
