He Will Restore Isaiah 1:21-31 August 16, 2015 Pastor Tony Felich  ----more---- Isaiah 1:21 How the faithful city has become a whore, she who was full of justice!

[25] I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy. [26] And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.” [27] Zion shall be redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent, by righteousness. [28] But rebels and sinners shall be brok
