Ezekiel 37:1-14: Can These Bones Live Again?
Ezekiel 37 is a powerful biblical passage detailing the prophet Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of dry bones. It serves as a prophecy of God’s restoration of the nation of Israel and a symbol of spiritual resurrection and hope for all believers. Ezekiel chapter 37. The Lord is going to begin giving Ezekiel visions dealing with the nation of Israel, and specifically with the future of Israel. And it’s way beyond the time of Ezekiel, that Ezekiel is going to…
Romans 1:8-18, The Gospel: God’s Power for Salvation
Paul expresses gratitude, explains his mission, and declares that the gospel reveals God’s righteousness while exposing humanity’s need because of God’s wrath against sin. This morning, if you have your Bibles, we want to continue our study through the book of Romans. And if you would turn with me to Romans chapter 1, I’d like to pick it up at verse 6 this morning. I’d like to read verse 6 through verse 17. The Apostle Paul is writing to the…
Ezekiel 36:16-38, I sprinkle clean water upon you
16 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. 18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: 19 and I scattered them…
Ezekiel 36:1–9 Bible Study: God’s Promise to Restore Israel
It’s the beginning of the New Covenant and what God is speaking through Ezekiel about a new covenant that he’s going to give with Israel, the new covenant that he also speaks of in Joel and other places through other prophets. To lay the background again, the nation of Judah, the southern kingdom, has just been decimated by three attacks from Nebuchadnezzar. The last attack, they destroyed the city and the temple and the people were really driven. Historical Background…
Romans 1:1–7 Bible Study: The Power of the Gospel
Romans 1:1–17 introduces Paul’s letter to the Romans and presents its central theme: the gospel is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes. This study explores Paul’s calling, his desire to visit Rome, and the foundational truth that the righteous live by faith. We’re going to be looking at the book of Romans. We studied Romans a few years ago and worked our way through the book, but as you look at Romans, a couple of things come to…
Ezekiel 35:1-15, Judgment on Mount Seir Explained
Oftentimes, as we look in God’s Word, we can see that things haven’t changed that much today from when the prophets lived in days of old, when Ezekiel lived. At the time that Ezekiel lived, there were people that hated the nation of Israel and had no reason to hate Israel. Yet they did. A lot of people today in our nation have turned against Israel, and they say, well, look it, the majority of the people in Israel don’t…
The High Position in Placing Men as the Head of the Home
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath…
Ezekiel 34:11-31, Trusting God for Power, Strength and Truth
Ezekiel chapter 34, and we want to look at the second half of this chapter. On Sunday afternoon, we looked at the first portion of the chapter where the Lord chastised the false shepherds, the false shepherds of Israel that had led the nation astray. They had watched them really go up into the hills and begin to be involved in occultic worship, build high places and worship there just like they worship the pagan gods. They abandoned the truth…
Daniel 12:8-13, What is the meaning of the 1,290 and 1,335 days in Daniel?
The song you just sang is a song that speaks of the rapture. And the Apostle Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians, the rapture could occur at any time. The Apostle Paul thought the rapture was going to occur during his lifetime. He was looking for the Lord to come then. The sad thing is many Christians today aren’t looking for the Lord to come and gather his bride unto himself. As a matter of fact, many Christians don’t want…
Ezekiel 34:1-10 Indictment against Self-Serving Leaders
Turn with me to Ezekiel chapter 34. We’re going to be looking at verses 1 through 10 this afternoon. Ezekiel 34, verses 1 through 10. I like to read those verses quickly, and then we’re going to be looking at them. Ezekiel 34:1-10 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds…
The Watchman’s Warning: An In-Depth Look at Ezekiel 33
Turn with me to Ezekiel chapter 33. When the Lord comes to Ezekiel and gives him the message that he’s going to give him in this chapter, this isn’t given to him at the beginning of his ministry. This is given to him after he’s been called by God to share with the people. How many times have we heard the Lord say to Ezekiel, Son of man, hear this and say it unto your people. And they don’t listen.…
Daniel 12:5-9, Sealed Till the Time of the End
And truly we trust that you are looking forward to that day where we shall see the King. The last two songs we sang speak of the fact that Christ will return. And the Bible tells us that he is going to return for his bride to church and the rapture will occur. And that will set into motion the series of events that will culminate in the end of history, as this world knows it, with the second return…
