Ezekiel 10-12 – Glory Gone

As Ezekiel continues to see the sin and rebellion taking place in Jerusalem, God shows him that His glory is departing not only the temple, but Jerusalem itself. They had taken God for granted and now they will experience the devastating aftermath of His presence taken away. A somber warning for us to not take the Lord’s presence for granted. We’ve been invited in to enjoy fellowship. May we continue in that.

2 Chronicles 7:1-8:11 – Conditions For Renewal

The Lord comes and responds to Solomon after his great prayer at the dedication of the temple. And the Lord lays out some specific actions for the people that will bring about forgiveness and healing. They are key to revival and renewal. Listen in as we see what they are.

2 Chronicles 3-4 – Building A Home For God

We see Solomon moving from determining to build a house for God, to beginning to build the house of God. It’s one thing to determine, but we need to be diligent to do it. Solomon does just that. And we explore in this study the construction of the temple and the furnishings of the temple.

Ezekiel 6-9 – Sin Is Not A Trivial Matter

Ezekiel is given a word from the Lord to pronounce to Israel. Their sin of idolatry and rebellion has caught up to them and now judgment is upon them. They thought it was a trivial matter to be involved in these things. How about us? Do we view sin lightly or do we see the destruction it brings? We discuss these things in this study.

2 Chronicles 2 – Working Together

In this chapter we look at Solomon’s determination to build the temple. In order to do so he looks to others to help in the process. We are meant to operate in community. Together as the church we are the temple of God. We look at how this work Solomon set out to do relates to us working together as the church.

2 Chronicles 1 – Solomon’s Worship, Wisdom, & Wealth

2 Chronicles is an interesting historical book that is written with a fresh perspective. It’s written to give the returning captives from Babylon hope in what God has done, and hope in what God wants to continue to do in and through Israel. In this study we look at the beginning of Solomon’s reign and how he began with great faithfulness to God.

Ezekiel 1-2 – The Call And Commission Of Ezekiel

The beginning of Ezekiel gets into some very interesting stuff. Ezekiel is called by the Lord for a new role, but before Ezekiel gets serving, the Lord wants him to simply see Him more clearly. So Ezekiel is given an incredible heavenly vision. We break this down and look at what this is all about.

Anonymity Or Community

It’s easy to live in a place of isolation or anonymity. But is that what God intends for us? Is that an adequate way for the church to function? We take a look this morning at the operation of the early church and what they saw as a priority.
