Listen "Isaiah 23"
Episode Synopsis
1. Tyre’s influence on Israel was great yet subtle—through friendly partnership, the enticement of wealth and pleasure, and intermarriage with the leaders. How is this subtle invasion more dangerous for God’s people than a direct attack? How can believers and the church guard against such things? (James 4:1–4; 1 John 2:15–16) 2. In verses 1–6, people are shown wailing—in shock, in anguish, and in shame—when Tyre is destroyed. What does our reaction to the threat or reality of losing wealth or possessions reveal about our relationship to them? How can we grow in contentment, regardless of our situation? (1 Timothy 6:6–8; Philippians 4:10–13; Matthew 6:25–33) 3. Read verses 17–18. Tyre returns to its trade, creating wealth by dealing with all nations. How is it different now, and what caused the change? (Consider Luke 19:1–10.) What does this passage teach us about wealth? (Consider James 5:1–6; 1 Timothy 6:17–19.) 4. How does seeing Jesus’s humility and generosity transform the way we think about our own comfort, pride, and giving? What practical step could you take this week to make Christ—not wealth—your greatest treasure? Send us a text
