Rev. Nathan Meador, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Plymouth, Wisconsin joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Isaiah 58.

The Judean survivors think they’re doing well by God. They call on His name and they fast, yet God shows no regard for their piety. What’s going on?According to Isaiah 58, the people only think they’re sincere because they’ve deluded themselves. They lack the light of God’s Word, so their religious fasting is accompanied by mistreating their neighbors. Too often today, pastors hold back in their preaching of the law, lulling their people into the false security that they aren’t part of the problems “out there.” We need Christ to shine His light on us in the Divine Service so that we are empowered to work toward justice for our neighbors.
