Dreadful Humiliating Shave (Ezekiel 5:1–17). Do we throw away the blessing of God’s ways and act even worse than unbelievers. We are warned how parents and children will devour one another over detestable worldly desires. Does God have humiliating shave for you? (See Heb 10:28-31)

Ridiculous Fecal Bread (Ezekiel 4:1–17). Because God’s people won’t listen God’s prophet plays out a silly street theater to make his point. The prophet is laid down and bound by the anguish of his people’s rebellion. Who is laying on their side for your sin?

Stubbornness of the Gospel (Ezekiel 3:4–27). God doesn’t compromise on His majesty or grace. The Lord makes his witness accountable for right preaching of Law and Gospel. What does obstinance does God have to break through in your life?

Hating The Sweet Word (Ezekiel 1:28–3:3). The LORD sends Ezekiel to speak his word to God’s people who are always rebelling against him. Where the word of God is sweet to the prophet, the world hates this Word. Do you find God’s word sweet or bitter?

Glowing Glory Visions (Ezekiel 1:1–14, 24–28). In the midst of exile, Ezekiel is called into the presence of God. He is overwhelmed by the heavenly creatures. God is always at work in our world. Do you call upon this God in your worship?

Faithful Not Good (3 John 1–15). We most walk in the light, not when we are trying to be good, but when we live trusting in Jesus Christ. To be walking in truth means putting Christ and his kingdom first, not yourself.

Origination of Truth (2 John 1–13). The Truth we know and abide in is Christ, God’s Son. This truth enables us to walk in love and dedication to the Father. Don’t give a home for deceivers that stray from Christ.

Ultimate Death Sin (1 John 5:13–21). We trust in the authority and power of the Son of God who conquered death so we have eternal life. While we sin, those who are born of God are not rejecting and denying God as the world does.

Water Blood Testimony (1 John 5:1–12). If you believe Jesus is the Christ you are born of God. No extra hoops. And if you believe Jesus is the Christ you have conquered the world. His baptism, cross and Spirit testify to who he is.

Creative Bold Completeness (1 John 4:7–21). God is love shown to you in the Son he sent for you. If God lives in you then his agape love lives in you. This love makes you complete and bold. Fear is a lie from this world.
