The Lord's Message for Ahaz

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis reflect on Isaiah 7 and God's message to King Ahaz during a time of crisis. Despite Ahaz's idolatry and alliance with Assyria, God extends grace, urging him to stand firm in faith and even offering a sign of His deliverance. But Ahaz refuses, prompting Isaiah to deliver the prophetic sign of Immanuel—"God with us." Through this passage, Sally and Curtis explore God's unwavering faithfulness, His desire for relationship over control, and how He invites us to trust Him even when we feel unsteady. God continues to reach out with rescue, redemption, and the promise of His presence.
