  1. WORSHIPHoly, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God AlmightyIsaiah 6:1-9

  2. 1. Worship begins with a vision of God (6:1-4). 1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”

  3. 1. Worship begins with a vision of God (6:1-4). Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.”

  4. 1. Worship begins with a vision of God (6:1-4). What did Isaiah see and hear? > God is Sovereign (vv. 1) Psalm 103:19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

  5. 1. Worship begins with a vision of God (6:1-4). What did Isaiah see and hear? > God is Sovereign (vv. 1) > God is Holy (v. 3) “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” Isaiah 5:15–16 Man is humbled, and each one is brought low, and the eyes of the haughty are brought low. But the LORD of hosts is exalted in justice, and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.

  6. 1. Worship begins with a vision of God (6:1-4). What did Isaiah see and hear? > God is Sovereign (vv. 1) > God is Holy (v. 3) > God is the Lord of hosts (v. 3, 5) for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts

  7. 1. Worship begins with a vision of God (6:1-4). What did Isaiah see and hear? > God is Sovereign (vv. 1) > God is Holy (v. 3) > God is the Lord of hosts (v. 3, 5) There is a polarity between the objective and the subjective. There is the subjective in worship. But what Scripture makes clear, as this pattern from Isaiah makes clear, is that the subjective experience of worship must be predicated on the objective truth of the true and living God, and on an experience of the God who has revealed Himself in Scripture. Dr. Albert Mohler, Jr.

  8. 1. Worship begins with a vision of God (6:1-4). What did Isaiah see and hear? > God is Sovereign (vv. 1) > God is Holy (v. 3) > God is the Lord of hosts (v. 3, 5)

  9. 2. Worship leads to a confession of sin (6:4-5). 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”

  10. 2. Worship leads to a confession of sin (6:4-5). > Isaiah was unclean. Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!

  11. 2. Worship leads to a confession of sin (6:4-5). > Isaiah was unclean. - Woe is me – His response to the vision of Holy God. Job 42:5-6I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

  12. 2. Worship leads to a confession of sin (6:4-5). > Isaiah was unclean. - Woe is me – His response to the vision of Holy God. - I am lost – “ruined” > “to be silent” - I am a man of unclean lips Hebrews 10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Matthew 12:34–35 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.

  13. 2. Worship leads to a confession of sin (6:4-5). > Isaiah was unclean. > God’s people were unclean “I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips” Isaiah 1:4 Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. Their sin was like leprosy.

  14. 2. Worship leads to a confession of sin (6:4-5). > Isaiah was unclean. > God’s people were unclean Isaiah 1:5–6 Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. 6 From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil.

  15. 2. Worship leads to a confession of sin (6:4-5). > Isaiah was unclean. > God’s people were unclean List of sinful rebellion = Children that rebelled (1:2) = Covenant breakers (5:8-23) = Worship that was vain (1:10-15) = Calloused hearts (6:9-12) = Idolatry (2:8, 20)

  16. 2. Worship leads to a confession of sin (6:4-5). > Isaiah was unclean. > God’s people were unclean Truth- Confession is a vital part of worship. Psalm 51:1-4Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.

  17. 2. Worship leads to a confession of sin (6:4-5). > Isaiah was unclean. > God’s people were unclean 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

  18. 3. Worship moves to a display of grace & mercy (6:6-7). 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” * This scene is clearly an anticipation of the work of Christ who shed his blood for the forgiveness of sins.

  19. 3. Worship moves to a display of grace & mercy (6:6-7). > Provision (v. 6) - Altar – The only place we can find the forgiveness of sin Hebrew 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

  20. 3. Worship moves to a display of grace & mercy (6:6-7). > Provision (v. 6) > Proclamation (v. 7) “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”

  21. 3. Worship moves to a display of grace & mercy (6:6-7). > Provision (v. 6) > Proclamation (v. 7) - Guilt removed Isaiah 53:10 Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

  22. 3. Worship moves to a display of grace & mercy (6:6-7). > Provision (v. 6) > Proclamation (v. 7) - Guilt removed - Sins atoned for – “to cover” Work of Worship: - Sanctification - Liberation - Transformation

  23. 3. Worship moves to a display of grace & mercy (6:6-7). > Provision (v. 6) > Proclamation (v. 7) - Guilt removed - Sins atoned for – “to cover” 2 Corinthians 3:18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

  24. 4. Worship stirs us into action. (v. 8) And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

  25. 4. Worship stirs us into action. (v. 8) 2 Corinthians 5:10-11aFor we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others.

  26. 4. Worship stirs us into action. (v. 8) Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate not man. Worship, therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions. It’s the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nations into the white-hot enjoyment of God’s glory. But worship is also the fuel of missions. Passion for God in worship precedes the offer of God in preaching. You can’t commend what you don’t cherish. I am not pleading for a diminishing of missions but for a magnifying of God. When the flame of worship burns with the heat of God’s true worth, the light of missions will shine to the darkest people on earth. Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak. Let the Nations be Glad -John Piper
