Welcome to our ongoing Old Testament Bible study series, where we explore the book of Ezekiel chapter by chapter. In this expository sermon, “Ezekiel 25:1-17 – Don’t Fight The Hand That Saves You,” we unpack God’s outstretched hand—a powerful gesture of judgment, mercy, and discipline. This Calvary Chapel teaching dives into Ezekiel 25, where God declares His hand against Ammon, Edom, Moab, Seir, and the Philistines for their hostility toward Israel. These nations faced destruction for their spite, a sobering reminder of God’s justice against sin and those who oppose His chosen people.

Ezekiel 25 reveals two key truths: God stretches His arm out to destroy your enemies and to discipline His children. From Ammon’s gloating over Israel’s fall to Edom’s vengeance and the Philistines’ ancient hatred, God’s judgment was final—none of these nations survive today. Yet, this passage also reflects His mercy. The same outstretched hand that delivers justice offers salvation, as seen in Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. This sermon connects Old Testament prophecy to Christian living, showing how God’s discipline refines believers while His justice protects them.

For Bible study enthusiasts, this video explores the historical context of Ezekiel’s prophecies, including the Ammonites, Moabites, and Edomites, and their relevance to God’s covenant with Israel. We also examine the spiritual application: just as God judged these nations, He calls us to repentance and restoration, not retribution. Whether you’re seeking Christian devotionals or deep Scripture analysis, this teaching offers practical insights for living out your faith today.

Join us as we study Ezekiel 25:1-17 verse by verse, reflecting on God’s dual role as Judge and Father. Perfect for those interested in expository preaching, Bible prophecy, and growing in Christian faith. Subscribe for weekly Bible study videos from a Calvary Chapel perspective, and share this sermon to encourage others in their walk with Christ. Don’t miss this powerful lesson on trusting the hand that saves—God’s outstretched arm is both a warning to the rebellious and a promise to the redeemed. Stretch your hands upward in rejoicing, for Jesus has overcome!
