Contents :
Looking at the text, it seems that the time was a very difficult time of crisis in view of the situation in Israel.
In these difficult times, Isaiah went to the temple of God.
Isaiah sees a vision of God through prayer in the temple of God.
I hope that this wonderful moving history that Isaiah experienced today is our experience.
In a difficult time of crisis, he immediately sought God in the temple. Isaiah sought God with a desperate heart.
What kind of grace did Isaiah receive as a result of seeking God?
Isaiah experienced the glory of God by seeking God.
In worship, the form is important, but what is more important is what kind of experience and grace you received through worship.
Worshiping before God does not end with singing and praying alone.
The worship we offer to God has answers.
By seeking God, I realized that I was a sinner.
It is important for us to realize who we are when we worship.
When he realizes that he is a sinner, he can become a successful person in worship.
Those who worship right before God realize the glory of God first, and then realize that they are sinners.
True worship requires one's right awareness.
Worship is for us who are sinners to come before God and be forgiven.
When my sins are confessed before God, God washes them away with the blood of the cross.
This is the grace we receive through worship.
I realized my mission through seeking God.
When God asked, "Who should I send?" Isaiah said, "Here I am; send me."
After receiving grace through worship and washing away sins, joy comes to my heart, I receive the mission God has given me, I make a decision, and I am sent out into the world.
Therefore, worship is an outing into the world.
If we listen to the Word during worship and receive grace, we ask, "What can we do for the Lord?" We must go out into the world with a sense of mission.
I hope that you will have a deep sense of mission in your hearts as you walk out the door of this church today.
When Isaiah came to God's temple, he experienced God's grace, realized that he was a sinner, was washed from his sins, and received a mission. This is true worship and successful worship.
