The famous last line from Ezekiel 48:35, “The Lord is there”, provides wonderful hope and promise for all believers journeying through this world. This is my last sermon from Ezekiel and the last sermon for 2010.

No Comments In Ezekiel 43:1-12, we see the anticipation of God’s glory in the temple, the arrival of the glory, and the answer (response) that He expects. This is a powerful and challenging section of the Word that I preached on December 12.
Normally at Christmas time when you hear a sermon title, “God with us”, you’d expect to hear about the birth of Jesus, Immanuel, “God with us.” But not this sermon.
This is my sermon from December 5. I am preaching on God’s presence with His people from Ezekiel 40-42. This last section of Ezekiel is the most difficult section of the Old Testament to understand. I pray you are blessed as you listen.
Ezekiel 34 is about the Good Shepherd. This sermon deals with His ministry.
In Ezekiel 33, God begins to renew His people. The first step is His call to repentance. “Turn back to me and live,” God cries. This is the central message in this chapter and the first step to renewal.
Ezekiel chapters 25-32 deal with God’s judgment over all the nations. He will not tolerate sin in His own people, nor in those “not His people.” It is a stark warning for us to hear today.
We all experience suffering in this life to different extents: mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, persecutions, etc. James the brother of John was run through with a sword (Acts 12) and think of all that Peter and Paul went through! Hebrews 11:34-37 is a testimony of some of the harder sufferings many brothers and sisters have gone through. How are we to make sense of our sufferings? How is God a model for how to handle our sufferings? What is the ultimate point and meaning of our sufferings? These are some questions I try to address in Ezekiel 24.
Ezekiel 18 deals with the subject of taking personal responsibility for our sins. We cannot “pass the buck” and blame others for our sinful thoughts or deeds.
In a powerful parable from Ezekiel 17, God urges His people to submit to the covenant, not despise it and break it. This is an important lesson for us today.
In Ezekiel 16 God has some strong words against His people. He calls us to turn from our “forgetting and unfaithfulness” and follow a life of “remembering and recommitting” daily.
