July 07, 2024What are we afraid God will ask us to surrender to Him?
Heavy Hearts, 3 of 9 July 7th, 2024
“Our heart will be filled with whatever we make space for.”
Ezekiel 8-11 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)
SUMMARY
This sermon explores the concept of idolatry and its consequences, the visions recorded in Ezekiel 8-11. With the observation that our hearts will be filled with whatever we make space for, whether the true God or false idols. We are warned against the dangers of subtle idolatry in modern life and called to genuine commitment to God. Even in a message describing God's judgment against idolatry, God's grace in marking and preserving those who remain faithful underpins the heart of the message.
CHAPTERS
(0:00 - 6:20) Chapter 1: Understanding Holiness in Modern Context
We explore the concept of holiness and its relevance in our modern, multi-purpose world.
(6:20 - 17:21) Chapter 2: Ezekiel's Vision of Idolatry in the Temple
Ezekiel receives a vision of various forms of idolatry taking place in the temple.
(17:21 - 35:46) Chapter 3: God's Judgment and Grace
God's judgment on idolatry is revealed, but His grace is also evident.
(35:46 - 43:55) Chapter 4: The Departure of God's Presence
Ezekiel witnesses the gradual departure of God's presence from the temple and Jerusalem.
(43:55 - 50:17) Chapter 5: God's Promise of Restoration and Heart Transformation
Despite judgment, God promises future restoration and heart transformation for His people.

June 30, 2024Does God still want a relationship with me when I've failed Him so far?
Heavy Hearts, 2 of 9 June 30th, 2024
“God relentlessly warns us of the crushing weight of sin so perhaps we might reject it.”
Ezekiel 3-5, 12 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)
SUMMARY
Through vivid and often bizarre signs, God uses the prophet Ezekiel to communicate His message to a rebellious people. We see how God creates an appetite for His word and illustrates the dire consequences of embracing our sin instead of His life. The silent signs, interpreted signs, and dramatic actions of Ezekiel serve as a stark reminder of God's impending judgment on Jerusalem. Yet, even in His warnings, we glimpse God's compassion and His desire for His people to turn back to Him. God is relentless in His warnings about the crushing weight of sin. This message challenges us to examine our own lives and the small phrases we use to dismiss God's warnings, urging us to heed His voice before it's too late.
REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
💬 Is our obedience to God limited by what we want to see happen?

💬 What do we tune our ears to when it seems God isn’t speaking?

💬 What does our life teach others about who God is? How is He getting His message across to them?

💬 What proverbs do we use to escape from engaging with wise truth?

June 23, 2024Is church only for folks who have their act together?
Heavy Hearts, 1 of 9 June 23rd, 2024
“Our pain may pave the road by which God gives us more of Himself.”
Ezekiel 1-3 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)
SUMMARY
As we kick-off this new series we are introduced to Ezekiel, a man with a heavy heart--disappointed that he couldn't fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a priest. Yet in this moment of despair, God reveals Himself in an awe-inspiring vision. This illustrates that our pain may pave the road for God to give us more of Himself. The vivid description of God's throne and the celestial beings reminds us of His majesty and power. We're challenged to consider: do we seek God in our moments of trouble, or do we fixate on ourselves and blame others? Rather, let's internalize God's word--'eat' it and make it part of who we are--even when the message is difficult.

REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
💬 What do we give our attention when we’re in trouble?

💬 How much of God’s word makes up our very being?

💬 Are we taking time to sit with God?

June 16, 2024Have we surrendered to Jesus?
Greater Than Covenants & Blood, 4 of 4 June 16th, 2024
“We should continue to embrace all of Jesus’ provision and direction.”
Hebrews 10:26-39 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)
SUMMARY
Pastor Michael explores the importance of continuing to embrace all of Jesus' provision and direction in our lives. Hebrews 10 reminds us of the incredible sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf. His blood has the power to cleanse our consciences and grant us access to God's holy presence. We are called to embrace Jesus' provision and direction in our lives, drawing near to Him with sincere hearts and full assurance of faith. We're encouraged to reflect on what we have already suffered for Christ - the rejections, trials, and material losses - and to offer those memories back to God with gratitude. By persevering in faith, we preserve our souls and experience the heavenly peace Jesus offers, even amidst life's storms.
REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
💬 Have we surrendered to Jesus?

💬 What sin is more compelling to us than life with Jesus?

💬 How are we tempted to drift back into giving Jesus direction?

💬 What have we already suffered for trusting Jesus?

💬 How might our suffering spur others to love Him? Will we trust Him with that, too?

June 09, 2024Is there someone that you have not sought reconciliation with?
Supernatural Reconciliation, June 9th, 2024
“Jesus empowers us to deal with our past knowing He is in control.”
Philemon by Ryan Gagnon (@RyGagnon)
SUMMARY
In this stand-alone sermon we explored the book of Philemon and how it demonstrates the power of reconciliation that comes through Christ. Using the story of Onesimus, a runaway slave, and Paul's appeal to Philemon for forgiveness and restoration, pastor Ryan showed how Jesus empowers us to deal with our past, extend forgiveness to others just as Christ forgave us, and seek reconciliation rather than avoiding conflict.
REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
💬 We as a body should be promoting unity collectively. How are we doing at that?

💬 Is there someone that has offended you and maybe they don’t even know it? Have you addressed the situation?

💬 Is there someone that you have not sought reconciliation with? What’s holding you back?

💬 What is Jesus directing you to do?
