Week 1: Untying the Cords of the Yoke
Hope you guys are already diving into the homework. I wanted to go ahead and start a post in case anyone wanted to comment throughout the week. See you on Thursday!
Isaiah 39:8 ~ Sara Groves Generations
Here's a song that reminded me of the message from day 4 and Hezekiah's response over Judah's coming captivity. A reminder to pray for our descendants.

Isaiah 61:1-4
Since Beth mentions the focus of the study is on Isaiah 61:1-4, I thought I would post it here for us to refer to...
The Year of the LORD's Favor
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
