Isaiah Study Guide

Welcome to the Isaiah Study Guide

The book of Isaiah is one of the most powerful and far-reaching voices in Scripture. Though written in a specific time and place, Isaiah’s words point far beyond his day, calling God’s people to listen, repent, and hope in His salvation. Across 66 chapters, Isaiah challenges assumptions, warns against misplaced trust, and reveals God’s plan to redeem the world.

This guide is designed to accompany our sermon series, Isaiah: The God We Cannot Shape, helping you engage more deeply with Isaiah’s message. Whether you’re studying in a group or on your own during the week, our hope is that these questions and reflections will draw you closer to the God Isaiah so vividly proclaims.

How to Use This Guide

  • Start with the Sermon: Each week’s study guide is designed as a companion to Sunday’s message. Listen to or watch the sermon first, then use the guide to go deeper.
  • Follow the Weekly Focus: Each week highlights selected chapters and passages from Isaiah (we won’t cover all 66). These align directly with the sermon and point you to the book’s central themes.
  • Reflect and Respond: After hearing the sermon, read the Scripture again and use the questions to reflect on what God is saying and how it applies to your life.
  • Accessible Anywhere: The study guide is available on desktop and mobile, so you can engage with it at home, with your group, or on the go. Fillable PDFs are available below, as well as printed booklets with the Welcome & Connection Team on Sundays.

Part 1 (Weeks 1-6)

Week 1 – September 14 | Isaiah Chapter 1

📖 Read Isaiah 1:1-31 (Click Link)

A Vision of Judah and All Creation (vv. 1–3)
Isaiah begins with a vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem. From our perspective, these events took place long ago, in places we may never see. Yet the focus quickly expands: God is speaking, and all of creation must listen.

1. Big picture: Is Isaiah’s vision still relevant and meaningful for us? (Let verses 2–3 guide your thinking.)

2. What is God declaring in these verses?

3. Does His pronouncement still hold true today?

4. Is it surprising that God not only expects, but desires, to be known?


God’s Charge Against His People (vv. 4–8)
Isaiah narrows the charge to those who should know God best—His own people. It is serious when humanity ignores Him, but far worse when those who have His Word turn away (see Romans 1:18–23).

5. Why is this especially grievous?

6. What responsibility does this place on us?

7. How bad does God say the problem is?

8. Would the Israelites listening to Isaiah have agreed with his assessment?

9. Why do the Israelites (and we) tend to see ourselves differently than God sees us?

10. What was the socioeconomic reality that angered God, and what might be the equivalent in our society today?


Empty Worship Exposed (vv. 10–15)
Isaiah warns that worship, when empty of obedience, offends God.

11. Summarize God’s message to Israel in your own words.

12. What is the danger of believing God is easily appeased by religious activity?


A Path Forward (vv. 16–17)
Acts of worship must be genuine. God offers hope and shows His people how to return to Him.

13. What path does God lay out here?

14. What connection do these verses suggest between inner transformation and outward action?


God’s Ultimatum (vv. 18–20)
God presents Israel with a clear choice—and the same choice is offered to us today.

15. What ultimatum did God give Israel?

16. What choice are you making today?
