INTRO: People today are fat (Chatt. Times). We eat too much, and we don't eat the right foods. God calls us to eat His spiritual food and drink his spiritual drink:
I. Isaiah 55:1-2
A. David said he thirsted
for God (Psalm 42:1-2)
B. Jesus and the woman at
the well (John 4:4-14).
C. Many today are hungry
and thirsty for spiritual experiences, but they
are eating and drinking
poison (Illustrate).
II. Isaiah 55:3-5
A. God offered to renew
the Davidic Covenant (2 Sam. 7:1-17).
B. Partially fulfilled in
Solomon's reign.
C. Future fulfillment in
Jesus' reign.
III. Isaiah 55:6-7
A. Before you come to the
dinner table you must wash up.
B. Before enjoying God's
food and drink, you must repent.
C. God is full of mercy
and pardon.
IV. Isaiah 55:8-11
A. God's thoughts and ways
are recorded in His Word.
B. In God's Word we find
spiritual food and drink.
CONCLUSION: A challenge to repentance, and to Bible study.
