Overview

Did you know that the prophet Isaiah preached the gospel? The central message of Isaiah is a simple message—God saves sinners. Through a study of Isaiah, Jonathan Gibson guides participants in savoring the basics of the gospel that we need to remember daily: we need saving. We need God every day. Isaiah reminds us again and again that our hope is not in ourselves—it’s in turning from our own way and turning to God in faith.

Isaiah: Good News for the Wayward and Wandering will challenge you to reorient your life to truly love what is good and just and merciful, experiencing an inward change of purpose, turning away from sin and toward godliness and dependency on Christ.

This small group guide with leader’s notes includes ten in-depth lessons that include discussion questions, a short article to read, and a practical application section that can be used for one-to-one discipleship, small group, or large group settings.

Isaiah: Good News for the Wayward and Wandering is part of The Gospel-Centered Life in the Bible series published in partnership with Serge. Each book in the series examines how the gospel story is revealed throughout both the Old and New Testaments.

Praise for Isaiah

This is definitely the best study guide on Isaiah for home groups that I have seen. It is written in a very accessible style and from a pastor’s heart. Jonathan Gibson includes just enough detail to make clear Isaiah’s message to the people of his own day, its fulfilment in Jesus, and excellent suggestions for group discussion that bring its relevance right home to our everyday lives as Jesus’s followers today. I’m sure you will be blessed by using this book.

--Barry Webb, Senior Research Fellow Emeritus in Old Testament, Moore Theological College, Sydney

There’s no doubt that Isaiah is an intimidating book, but to overlook or skip by it is to miss out on so much beauty and so much encouragement. Jonny Gibson's guide will lead you through its most wonderful highlights and equip you to better understand and apply it to your life.
