Sense of the Holy
The sermon emphasizes the importance of recognizing and responding to God's holiness, and the need for personal purity in order to worship Him.
In this sermon, the preacher discusses the challenge of expressing and understanding the divine. He emphasizes that what Isaiah saw and experienced was beyond human comprehension and cannot be adequately described. The preacher highlights the importance of feeling the presence of God rather than trying to intellectually understand it. He also emphasizes the need for personal cleansing and confession before being able to effectively serve God. The sermon encourages listeners to have a humble and willing heart to be used by God, rather than relying on theological knowledge or pride.

Above it stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With twin he covered his face, with twin he covered his teeth, and with twin he did fly.
And one cried unto another and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory. And the host of the door moved with the voice of him that cried in the house of hell with smoke.
Then said I, Woe is me, for I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean kings, the Lord of hosts. And flew one of the seraphims unto me, which, having a life calling his own, they were, then there was a screw, and he was dressed to kill, and all, all that little world is to be, is to be delivered. Now let's not think of sin.
