A Year I’ll Never Forget - Black Preacher Sermon



A YEAR I’LL Never Forget

(ISAIAH 6:1 KJV)

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

I

n the text Isaiah was a Hebrew prophet in the kingdom days. Isaiah, along with Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel were known as Major Prophets because they said a lot and they wrote a lot. Now Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, And Malachi WERE also prophets but were known as Minor Prophets. They were just as close to God as the Major Prophets, however, they didn't say as much and they didn't write as much.

Isaiah's book consist of 66 chapters, (a major prophet) Hosea's book consist of 14 long chapters, (a minor prophet)

Daniel's book consist of 14 long chapters (major prophet) Malachi's book consist of 4 short chapters (a minor prophet)

Now, Isaiah, the son of Amos was the greatest of Hebrew prophets. The Hebrew prophets were inspired men who preached the word of God. The Hebrew prophets’ fearlesslessly attacked the evils and sinful ways of men. The Hebrew prophets acted as moral consciences of the community.

It appears that Isaiah was a man of position in the capital with access to the king and a voice in state affairs. And at the age of twenty-five, Isaiah experienced what I am calling today a year he'll never forget. The second, minute, hour, day, week, nor the month wasn't the issue her but it was the year. Now everybody's life contains an unforgettable year. You may not recollect the very hour, the very day, the very month, but that year, you can't forget it.

There is something that happens in a lifetime that causes you to always remember a certain year. Some years are remembered by the events that happen and some years are remembered by the year number.

In the year of 1492, Christopher Columbus, sailing the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, announced that the world was round.

In the year of 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln was signed. This was a bill saying that no longer could black men, women, boys and girls be taken away from their families and sold as slaves, Negroes were freed.

That’s a year I’ll never forget.

In the year of 1875, Alexander graham bell, stood on a pole and talked to Thomas Watson giving the world our first telephone.

That’s a year I’ll never forget.
