## Resource

Our sermon traces Isaiah 39–40: Hezekiah invites Babylon into Yahweh's storehouses, bringing judgment and exile, while Isaiah points to God as creator and sovereign of the stars. The preacher contrasts Israel's betrayal with Christ, the new Adam and true King, who reclaims and purifies God's vessels, raising humanity from plunder to glorious redemption; an invitation to feast on the riches of Christ and serve in gratitude.
