Ezekiel - Undeserved Restoration
Ezekiel 38-39 The end of Ezekiel starts to sound like the book of Revelation! This is because the story of Israel includes the Church, and the final battle at the end of the story hasn't happened, yet. This passage talks about events and even nations that aren't clearly known to us, yet. This can be disconcerting, but God is in control! No matter what happens in the future history of the world,…
Ezekiel - Them Dry Bones
Ezekiel 37 This passage is one of the most popular and recognizable in the entire book of Ezekiel. The imagery and message of the valley of dry bones is haunting, encouraging, and downright exciting. It sounds like something Hollywood would be challenged to depict, even with all their CGI and technology. But the picture is powerful - God can use his Word and his Spirit to bring real restoration to…
Ezekiel - For My Glory's Sake
Ezekiel 35-36 This message is hugely comforting and deeply humbling, all at the same time. It tells us that, in terms of our salvation, we bring absolutely nothing to the table except problems and brokenness! God doesn't owe us anything besides wrath. We don't have any special power or influence that would compel him to love us or long for us. Yet, he gives us gifts and showers us with his love.…
Ezekiel - Tender of Heart
Ezekiel 33-34 This passage turns the corner into the amazing promise and comfort of Ezekiel. It tells of the Lords desire and plan to save his people, even though they don't deserve it. It starts to point unmistakably toward the New Testament, the Lord Jesus, and the Gospel. When we consider the scale of our sin and idolatry, it is tempting to wonder how he will respond; these chapters show us…
Ezekiel - End of an Era
Ezekiel 29-32 When you become a Christian, you renounce all other masters and leave behind the slavery of false gods. However, we have a very complex relationship with our former enslavements. Israel left Egypt over 800 years before Ezekiel's time, and yet they had carried a torch for their former captors' protection, wealth, and power all along. Egypt ruled and prospered for millennia; but when…
Ezekiel - Kicking the Tires
Ezekiel 26-28 This passage is one of two in the Old Testament that seem to give a lot of backstory about Satan. For millennia, the church has debated how to understand these passages, but there are a few messages that we can take away with absolute certainty: God and his people have real enemies, both visible and invisible. Satan's pride, fall, and consequences are a pattern that keeps spreading…
Ezekiel - Protection for the Disciplined
Ezekiel 25 Have you ever had a moment when someone picked on your sibling, spouse, or child? I bet you thought something like "hey - I can pick on my little brother, but NOBODY else does!" If we, who are sinful, can think like that, how much more will God, who is perfect, protect his children from their enemies? And he is able to do it even at the same time he is challenging, growing, and refining…
Ezekiel - The Loss of a Bride
Ezekiel 24 This story is the most difficult of the sign acts God asked Ezekiel to do. It seems cruel and hard to understand, and it is hard to read. At the same time, though, it is a powerful way for God to help his people start to understand his own heart and to begin to think and feel in ways that match him. God is certainly not a human, but he definitely wants us to know that he has a heart and…
Like Father, Like Son (Father's Day)
Father's Day message from Josh Hendricks on John 5:19-44
Ezekiel - Sin is Adutery
Ezekiel 23 Sin is ugly. Sin is insanity. Sin is deadly. And yet, the Enemy of our souls can make it look pretty amazing. Much like an angler decorating a lure to fool a fish into taking the hook, Satan likes to make his plans seem fun, popular, and downright irresistable. The truth is that the only real anitote to tempation is to have our deepest desires satisfied by Someone better. Sin can seem…
