Session 1 · Isaiah 1–5
A lawsuit against Zion, and a failed vineyard.
- The Holy One of Israel calls heaven and earth against rebel sons whose worship he refuses until they wash and learn to do good.
- The mountain of the Lord's house is lifted up for the nations, and the day of the Lord brings down every proud and lifted thing.
- Jerusalem's stay and staff are taken away, bread and water fail, and the daughters of Zion are stripped of their proud ornaments.
- A remnant in Zion is called holy, and the Branch of the Lord becomes a covering of cloud by day and flaming fire by night.
- The beloved's vineyard yields wild grapes, and woes fall on land-grabbers, drunkards, scoffers, and those who call evil good.
Session 2 · Isaiah 6–10
A throne, a coal, and a virgin's son.
- In the year King Uzziah died, Isaiah sees the Lord enthroned, is purged by a coal from the altar, and is sent to a people who will not hear.
- Ahaz refuses to ask a sign, yet the Lord gives the sign of a virgin conceiving and bearing a son whose name is Immanuel.
- A son is named Maher-shalal-hash-baz as Assyria nears, and the prophet binds up the testimony and fears the Lord rather than the conspiracy.
- To a people in darkness a child is born and a son is given, the Prince of Peace, while the Lord's hand stays stretched out in judgment.
- Assyria is only a rod in the Lord's hand, and a remnant of Jacob will return to the mighty God rather than lean on the one who struck them.
Session 3 · Isaiah 11–15
A shoot of Jesse, then oracles on the nations.
- A shoot comes from Jesse's stump, judges the poor in righteousness, and the wolf dwells with the lamb while the earth is full of the knowledge of the Lord.
- In that day Israel sings that God is her salvation and draws water with joy from the wells of salvation among the nations.
- An oracle against Babylon announces the day of the Lord, when the proud city falls and the heavens withhold their light.
- The king of Babylon is brought down to Sheol, a taunt asks how the morning star has fallen, and Philistia is warned not to rejoice.
- Moab wails in a night of ruin from Ar to Beer-elim, and the prophet's heart cries out for the fugitives of that broken land.
Session 4 · Isaiah 16–20
Thrones, highways, and a prophet's naked sign.
- Moab is urged to send lambs to the ruler in Zion, to shelter outcasts, and to wait for a throne set up in steadfast love in David's tent.
- Damascus ceases to be a city, Ephraim's fortress fades, and in that day a man looks to his Maker rather than to the altars his hands made.
- Envoys are sent beyond the rivers of Cush, and the Lord waits quietly before he cuts the harvest and the prey is left for the birds.
- Egypt is struck in her idols and then healed, an altar to the Lord rises there, and a highway joins Egypt, Assyria, and Israel.
- Isaiah walks naked and barefoot for three years as a sign that trust in Egypt and Cush will end in shame before Assyria.
Session 5 · Isaiah 21–25
A fallen city, a key, and death swallowed.
- A harsh vision from the desert declares that Babylon is fallen, and night oracles rest on Dumah and on the thickets of Arabia.
- The valley of vision feasts while breaches multiply, Shebna is hurled away, and Eliakim receives the key of the house of David.
- Tyre, the crowning marketplace whose merchants were princes, is forgotten for seventy years, and her trade is later made holy to the Lord.
- The Lord empties the earth under a curse, the city of chaos is broken, and the Lord of hosts reigns on Mount Zion before his elders.
- On this mountain the Lord prepares a feast for all peoples, swallows up death, wipes tears, and lays the proud city low in the dust.
Session 6 · Isaiah 26–30
A strong city, a cornerstone, and a waiting God.
- Judah sings of a strong city whose gates open for the righteous nation, and the dead are promised that they shall live and their bodies rise.
- The Lord punishes Leviathan the fleeing serpent, guards his vineyard day and night, and gathers his people from exile one by one.
- Ephraim's drunken crown is trampled, a tested cornerstone is laid in Zion, and the farmer is taught how to thresh without destroying the grain.
- Ariel is besieged, the sealed book stays unread by a people of lips-only worship, and the potter will not be lectured by the clay.
- Those who go down to Egypt for help are put to shame, yet the Lord longs to be gracious and to say, this is the way, walk in it.
Session 7 · Isaiah 31–35
A righteous king, and a highway through the desert.
- Woe is spoken to those who trust horses and chariots of Egypt and do not look to the Holy One, who comes down to fight upon Mount Zion.
- A king will reign in righteousness and princes in justice, the complacent are warned, and the Spirit is poured out until the wilderness becomes fruitful.
- The destroyer is himself destroyed, the Lord is exalted as he fills Zion with justice, and a forgiven people see the king in his beauty.
- The Lord's sword descends on Edom in a day of vengeance, the host of heaven withers, and the land is left to wild creatures and confusion.
- The desert rejoices and blossoms, feeble hands are strengthened, and a highway of holiness carries the ransomed of the Lord to Zion with singing.
Session 8 · Isaiah 36–40
A siege, a healed king, and the word of comfort.
- The Rabshakeh stands by the aqueduct and mocks Hezekiah, claiming that no god of any nation can deliver Jerusalem from the king of Assyria.
- Hezekiah spreads the blasphemous letter before the Lord, Isaiah promises a remnant, and the angel of the Lord strikes the Assyrian camp by night.
- Hezekiah is sick unto death, weeps toward the wall, receives fifteen added years, and sings of deliverance from the pit and the gates of Sheol.
- Hezekiah shows the envoys of Babylon his treasure house, and Isaiah says that those treasures and some of his sons will be carried to Babylon.
- A voice cries comfort to Jerusalem, all flesh is grass, the word of our God stands forever, and the shepherd Lord gathers the lambs in his arm.

The Servant, a new thing, and Cyrus named.
- The Lord challenges coastlands and idols, raises up one from the east, and tells worm Jacob not to fear, for the Holy One is his Redeemer.
- The Servant is upheld by the Lord, brings forth justice without breaking a bruised reed, and is given as a covenant and a light to the nations.
- The Lord who created Jacob says, fear not, for I have redeemed you, promises to be with his people through waters and fire, and declares a new thing.
- The Spirit is promised to Jacob's offspring, the idol-maker's folly is exposed in his own workshop, and Cyrus is named as the Lord's shepherd.
- Cyrus is called the Lord's anointed for Israel's sake, the Lord forms light and darkness, and to him every knee shall bow and every tongue swear.
Session 10 · Isaiah 46–50
Idols carried, and a Servant who is struck.
- Bel and Nebo bow down and are loaded onto weary beasts, while the Lord carries his people from the womb even to gray hair.
- The virgin daughter of Babylon sits in the dust without a throne, her sorceries fail her, and none of her counsels can stand.
- The Lord rebukes a house that swears by his name but not in truth, declares new things hidden till now, and commands his people to flee Babylon.
- The Servant is called from the womb, made a light to the nations so that salvation reaches the end of the earth, and Zion is engraved on the Lord's palms.
- The Lord has not divorced his people for their iniquities, and the Servant gives his back to strikers and his face to shame because the Lord God helps him.
Session 11 · Isaiah 51–55
The Servant pierced, and the barren told to sing.
- Those who pursue righteousness are told to look to Abraham and Sarah, the cup of wrath passes from Jerusalem, and the ransomed of the Lord return.
- Zion awakes and puts on beautiful garments, the feet of the gospel messenger are lovely on the mountains, and the Servant is lifted high and marred.
- The Servant is despised and rejected, pierced for transgressions, silent as a lamb led to slaughter, and after anguish he sees offspring and bears the sin of many.
- The barren woman is commanded to sing, her children possess the nations, and the Lord swears a covenant of peace like the waters of Noah.
- Everyone who thirsts is called to the waters without money, the wicked are told to forsake their way, and the Lord's word does not return to him empty.
Session 12 · Isaiah 56–60
A house of prayer, a true fast, and Zion's light.
- Keep justice and do righteousness, for the foreigner and the eunuch who hold the covenant receive a name better than sons and daughters in the Lord's house.
- The righteous perish and are taken from evil, while the Lord dwells with the contrite and lowly, and there is no peace for the wicked.
- The Lord rejects a fast of strife and bowed heads, and he demands loosed bonds, shared bread, housed poor, and a Sabbath kept without trampling.
- Iniquity builds a wall between the people and their God, truth stumbles in the street, and the Redeemer comes to those in Zion who turn from transgression.
- Zion is told to arise and shine, for her light has come, nations walk to that brightness, and the Lord himself becomes her everlasting glory.
Session 13 · Isaiah 61–65
An anointed preacher, a new name, and a new earth.
- The Spirit of the Lord God is upon the anointed one who brings good news to the poor, binds up the brokenhearted, and proclaims the year of the Lord's favor.
- For Zion's sake the watchmen refuse to be silent, and she is given a new name, no longer Forsaken or Desolate, but My Delight and Married.
- One comes from Edom with garments red from the winepress, speaking of vengeance and redemption, and the prophet remembers the Spirit who was grieved in Israel's midst.
- The prophet begs the Lord to rend the heavens and come down, confesses that the people are unclean, and asks the Father not to remember iniquity forever.

Session 14 · Isaiah 66
Heaven his throne, and a nation born in a day.
