Ezekiel 21-23

Are you building your life on rock or sand? 🏗️

In Ezekiel 21-23, we see God's judgment on Israel for turning away from Him. But there's a powerful lesson for us today:

• Troubles come to both the righteous and the wicked
• Our choices have consequences - sometimes we reap what we sow
• God may allow us to experience exactly what we chase after

The difference? Our foundation. 

When storms come - and they will - those who trust in Christ can withstand them. Those who don't may be washed away.

Where is your foundation? Are you seeking God's blessings without the relationship? Or are you building your life on the solid rock of faith?

"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock." - Matthew 7:24

Jesus in the Old Testament: The Book of Joshua

The Old Testament should not be overlooked - it's a treasure map leading straight to Jesus! 🗺️✝️

In the book of Joshua, we find incredible parallels to Christ:

• Joshua (Yeshua) = same name as Jesus

• Two spies sent before conquest = Two witnesses in Revelation • Rahab's scarlet cord = Blood of Christ

• Crossing the Jordan = Jesus' baptism site

• 7 priests, 7 trumpets at Jericho = 7 trumpets in Revelation

Don't miss out on the richness of the Old Testament. There's gold in them hills! Dig deep and let God's Word amaze you.

In The Silence; Mark 15:42-46

Even in the silence, God is working.

When Jesus was in the tomb, His disciples felt lost and afraid. Their hopes seemed shattered. But that moment of silence wasn't the end of the story - it was the prelude to the greatest miracle of all.

Sometimes we may feel God is silent in our lives. We might wonder where He is or why He's not answering. But remember:

• God's silence doesn't mean inaction
• Our weakness showcases His strength  
• His grace is always sufficient

The cross and empty tomb remind us that God's love triumphs over our failures. He's not surprised by our struggles - He went to the cross because of them.

Whatever you're facing, don't lose heart. Sunday is coming. The resurrection power that conquered the grave is still at work today.

'For when I am weak, then I am strong.' - 2 Corinthians 12:10

Living Water

Water: Life-Giving and Destructive 💧

In Scripture, water is both a purifying force and a tool of judgment. But did you know Jesus called Himself the ultimate 'living water'?

From Noah's flood to Moses striking the rock, water plays a crucial role in God's plan. But at the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus boldly declared He is the true source of eternal life.

Just as the Israelites needed water in the desert, we need Jesus in our spiritual wilderness. He isn't a distant, uncaring God – He experienced human suffering firsthand, yet remained perfect to offer His life for ours.

Are you thirsty for something more? Jesus offers living water that quenches our deepest needs. He cleanses us, gives us access to God, and provides eternal life.

Don't settle for temporary satisfaction. Drink deeply from the life-giving water only Christ can provide! 🙏

Death on the Cross; Mark 15:33-41

"The very source of life dies, becoming the gateway to eternal life through the very thing it battles: death."

 

Jesus faced the most terrifying enemy - cold, indifferent death that comes for us all. But in His sacrifice, He defeated this unstoppable force.

 

The cross isn't just a symbol. It's the true myth all great stories echo - where ultimate good triumphs through ultimate sacrifice.

 

Christ's death tore the veil, giving us direct access to God. His resurrection offers us victory over death itself.

 

remember: Jesus wasn't safe, but He was good. And His radical love changed everything.

What it's about, and Who it's For: Mark 15:21-32

The greatest story ever told isn't about you... but it's FOR you. 📜✝️

 

Jesus' crucifixion fulfilled prophecies written centuries before, proving God's meticulous plan for our redemption. From Abraham to David to the Psalms, every detail pointed to this moment.

 

But why such intricate planning? Because YOU are not an afterthought. 

 

God took painstaking care to show His love for you. The story centers on Christ, but its purpose is your salvation.

 

Don't miss out on God's invitation. Whatever shame or guilt you carry, Jesus bore it on the cross. He defeated sin and death as the Good Shepherd, and He's preparing a place for you in His coming kingdom.

 

Remember: This epic saga may be about Him, but it's ultimately for YOU.

Ezekiel 17-18

God's heart is on full display in Ezekiel 17-18. His justice demands consequences for sin, but His mercy longs for our repentance. 

'For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,' says the Lord. 'Turn therefore and live!'

No matter your past, God offers a fresh start. You're not defined by generational curses or others' mistakes - each person is responsible for their own choices. 

The good news? It's never too late to turn to God. When we repent, He forgets our sins and gives us new life.

God desires that ALL should be saved. His compassion is unchanging from Old Testament to New. The question is: which way will your heart turn? Towards God or away?

Josiah Week 4

King Josiah reformed an entire nation, yet couldn't truly change people's hearts. The prophet Jeremiah faced constant rejection, but couldn't hold back God's burning truth.

Their stories remind us:
• Cultural change doesn't always equal spiritual transformation
• God can use you at any age to share His message
• One soul saved causes rejoicing in heaven

Who's the ONE person in your life who needs to hear about Jesus? Focus on them. Pray for them. Share with them. Because in God's eyes, that one soul is worth everything.

Restoring Innocence: Mark 15:1-15

Innocent for the Guilty: The Shocking Exchange at the Cross

Jesus stood silent before His accusers, taking our place. He was charged with treason against Rome - the very crime we're all guilty of against God. In a stunning twist, Jesus took the cross meant for Barabbas, a real rebel and murderer. 

Why? Because our guilt can't be erased by good deeds or the passage of time. Only perfect innocence can cover it. And that's exactly what Jesus offers us.

He didn't defend Himself so He could defend us. He took our punishment so we could have His innocence. 

Will you accept this incredible exchange? Let Jesus take your guilt and give you His spotless record before God. It's the only way to regain what was lost in Eden.

'For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.' - 2 Corinthians 5:21
