Rejecting God comes with a price even before an eternity in Hell. Join us this week as we examine what happens when you reject God.

Isaiah 8:1-22 (CSB)
​¹ Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large piece of parchment and write on it with an ordinary pen: Maher-shalal-hash-baz. ² I have appointed trustworthy witnesses ​— ​the priest Uriah and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.”
³ I was then intimate with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz, ⁴ for before the boy knows how to call ‘Father,’ or ‘Mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria will be carried off to the king of Assyria.”
⁵ The LORD spoke to me again:
⁶ Because these people rejected
the slowly flowing water of Shiloah
and rejoiced with Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,
⁷ the Lord will certainly bring against them
the mighty rushing water of the Euphrates River —
the king of Assyria and all his glory.
It will overflow its channels
and spill over all its banks.
⁸ It will pour into Judah,
flood over it, and sweep through,
reaching up to the neck;
and its flooded banks
will fill your entire land, Immanuel!
⁹ Band together, peoples, and be broken;
pay attention, all you distant lands;
prepare for war, and be broken;
prepare for war, and be broken.
¹⁰ Devise a plan; it will fail.
Make a prediction; it will not happen.
For God is with us.
The LORD of Armies, the Only Refuge
¹¹ For this is what the LORD said to me with great power, to keep me from going the way of this people:
¹² Do not call everything a conspiracy
that these people say is a conspiracy.
Do not fear what they fear;
do not be terrified.
¹³ You are to regard only the LORD of Armies as holy.
Only he should be feared;
only he should be held in awe.
¹⁴ He will be a sanctuary;
but for the two houses of Israel,
he will be a stone to stumble over
and a rock to trip over,
and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
¹⁵ Many will stumble over these;
they will fall and be broken;
they will be snared and captured.
¹⁶ Bind up the testimony.
Seal up the instruction among my disciples.
¹⁷ I will wait for the LORD,
who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob.
I will wait for him.
¹⁸ Here I am with the children the LORD has given me to be signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of Armies who dwells on Mount Zion. ¹⁹ When they say to you, “Inquire of the mediums and the spiritists who chirp and mutter,” shouldn’t a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living? ²⁰ Go to God’s instruction and testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, there will be no dawn for them.
²¹ They will wander through the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged, and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God. ²² They will look toward the earth and see only distress, darkness, and the gloom of affliction, and they will be driven into thick darkness.
