Deadly Peril Comforts (2 Corinthians 1:1-11). In the depths of the troubles and perils of this life, when we lose all hope in our self salvation, we can find a comfort. Have you ever gone through something that nearly destroyed you that God now uses as a blessing for others?

Torrential Gospel Waters (Ezekiel 47:1–12). From the stunning grace of the LORD flows overwhelming living waters that give healing and where death gives way to life. Are you baptized in the Messiah’s rivers of living water flow to bring you from sin death into eternal life?

Shame Blasting Glory (Ezekiel 43:1–12). Ezekiel gives a vision of the temple that is not an architectural design, but a spiritual enticement to long for the returning glory of God. When the glorious holiness of God is manifest, we want to put away shameful sin.

Forget Your Shame (Ezekiel 39:21–29). Forgetting our shame and disgrace takes an act of God. Rather than pour out his wrath, the LORD promises to pour our his Spirit upon his people. Do you live in the promises of God or do you still hold onto the shame of your failures?

Bone Rattling Preaching (Ezekiel 37:1–14). If dried out bones can’t live, why do we think we fare any better without God? The LORD proves he alone breathes life into spiritual corpses. Will you allow the LORD to open up your grave and bring you new hope?

Ruined People Reborn (Ezekiel 36:22–27). Where God’s people profaned God’s glory, now the LORD will show how great is his glory. The Lord promises that we will be washed from our sins to receive a new spirit and a new heart. So, will the LORD become your beloved God?

No Longer Enslaved Prey (Ezekiel 34: 17–31). Selfish leaders and greedy compatriots trample the fellowship of God’s people. The LORD is our shepherd who rescues his people from victimhood and blesses them. Do we act like we are with our shepherd?

Graciously Unfair God (Ezekiel 18:1–4, 19–32). The LORD holds each person accountable for their own relationship with Him. Just as someone else’s faith can’t save you, someone else’s sin can’t condemn you. Do your children chase after iniquity or God?

Enchanting Dislodging Scattering (Ezekiel 11:14–25). God’s people substituted the blessing for their reliance upon the LORD. God loves you so much he will scatter you to give you a heart of flesh. Where do you think God needs to dislodge you in your faith?

Detestable Conduct Unleashed (Ezekiel 7:1–15, 23b–27). Insisting on our own goodness means being judged on our conduct. Unrestrained sin begets a blossoming of even great evil. Are you ready for your own unforgiveness? Or will you flee to Christ?
