Ezekiel was led by God to sit with the captives for seven days. He needed to observe what they were doing in preparation for the message he needed to give them. The message would be from God. It was necessary for Ezekile to be faithful in giving the truth to the people.

The Case God Has Against His People. Micah 6:1-13 [The Courtroom Scene]Are We What We Appear?Micah was a prophet during the time of Isaiah and King Hezekiah. These were deceptive times in Israel. The people were very devoted to religious ceremony and traditions, but their lives apart from Temple worship told a much different story, (greed, indulgence, and idolatry). Outwardly they were religious and upright, but inwardly they were rebellious and undone. The object of religion took precedence over obedience and genuine worship.The people appeared to be in pretty good standing with the Lord, but they were far from God. Things are not always as they appear. Often familiarity brings complacency. I hope that we haven't become so familiar with the mechanics of worship that we've left God out.I want to draw closer to Him in these days. I trust you've considered your relationship with the Lord. Is it what it should be? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? He stands ready to meet either need.Are We What We Appear?

Text: Mark 1:9-13 | Speaker: Levi Bakerink | Description: Who is Jesus? That is the question Mark leads his readers to ask as he begins his gospel account. Little information is given about Jesus, his background, his miraculous birth and upbringing, or the events leading up to his baptism and temptation. Rather, Mark focuses on the bigger picture—who is this person Jesus declared and demonstrated to be? He can be no other than the Messiah, the Son of God Himself.

Meditation on the word of God is key to becoming wither-proof.

A good request of God is for more of the Holy Spirit working in our lives on our way and witnessing toward heaven. Hope in Heaven and in the Holy Spirit.

Ezekiel prophecies the judgement to come upon the nation of Egypt. He compares them to a great dragon that will be destroyed because of their pride.

In Acts 20 Paul departs Ephesus after a ministry there of around 3 years. Many Ephesians heard the Gospel and not only Ephesians but the whole of Asia minor was affected by the witness of Paul and his missionary companions. Paul was the voice of God to a Pagan World. Acts 19:10 ...all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. God changed Ephesus through a Preacher of the Gospel. God changed Ephesus through a Purified Church. Thirdly God changed Ephesus through the Prevailing Word. Acts 19:20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. When the Gospel is proclaimed even in the darkest of places God can impact a whole City! In Acts 20 Paul talks about the Endeavours of the Church. In Acts 20 Paul talks about the Excellency of the Church In Acts 20 Paul also talked about the Enemies of the Church. We need to remember that the Early Church had enemies around them and enemies within them and it is the same today! The Lord Jesus warned of wolves in sheep's clothing! Matt 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

New Heart, New Spirit_25 Ezekiel 29:1-21Seven Descriptions of Coming Judgment (Part 1). Egypt is the seventh and final nation that Ezekiel pronounced God's judgment upon. The prophet paid far more attention to Egypt than he did to any of the other nations. These messages were so important that Ezekiel recorded the date that he preached them except in one case 30:1. He probably did not record the date of the third message because he delivered it immediately after the second one. Remember that Ezekiel was giving these prophesies to the Jewish exiles and that news did not travel fast in those days.With God at work behind the scenes, the news would soon reach the Egyptians and other nations in the Middle East.God's Word warns us. The Lord is going to judge every human being who has ever lived. He will judge us for our self-exaltation and disloyalty just as He judged the Egyptians. But He will also judge us for all the other sins we have committed. We will give an account for everything we have done, whether good or bad. Scripture declares that Jesus Christ has fulfilled the prophecies of the Righteous Branch, the promised Messiah and Savior of the world.The prophet added a word of promise for the Jews v. 21, assuring them that there would come for them a time of restoration when He would give them new strength (the budding horn) for their new challenges.Christ is our Righteousness. Christ is our Redeemer, Restorer, Protector, and Defender. Christ is our Wisdom, Understanding, and Strength.Christ is our Servant.

Isaiah 32:1,2 -- Christ, our hiding place In the midst of the storms of life there is a refuge for the soul.

The head is the axe's edge.

Moses is born. If you know the rest of the story, this event is the turning point that changes the course of Israel's time in Egypt. Our familiarity with the story may actually prevent us from seeing God's hand behind it and a correlation to another familiar story from mankind's early history.
