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.

No Comments 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.
What fruit do you have to offer the Lord? What fruit of your life proves you are His child? Does God expect to see some fruit from you? These and other questions are answered in this week’s sermon from Ezekiel 15.
In Ezekiel 13 and 14, God deals with His people, “a rebellious house”. He takes up the issues of false prophets and idolatrous leaders, and it speaks directly to us today as well.
Ezekiel 12 is an indictment against God’s people, “a rebellious house.” It forces us to examine rebellion in our own lives.
In my sermon on Ezekiel 11, we examine two pieces of bad news and one piece of good news. The BIG IDEA for us to consider – are we part of the good news?
