Mathew 28:18-20 could be considered the ‘job description’ for the Church: “……Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the[…]
“Though they escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them, and you will know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them” (verse 7). Out of a fire, one must come either burned or injured in some way. Israel has been in the fire already; so why is more[…]
Text: Ezekiel 14:1-23 “… that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor defile themselves anymore with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people and I may be their God, declares the Lord GOD” (verse 11, ESV). In the Christian life we have a new radical way of[…]

As we shared last Sunday, Jesus said “and I tell you Peter on this rock, I will build my Church (ekklesia) and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” Matthew 16:18. I do hope that today we can take a moment to set aside time and understand that we are the church with[…]
Text: Ezekiel 10:1-22 “Fill your hands with burning coals from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city”, (verse 2).

Text: Ezekiel 9:1-11 “Then he said to me, “The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice”, (verse 9, ESV).
