Week 1
Text: Ezekiel 36:22–38
Topics: Exile, Restoration, Renewal, Witness, Glory, Grace, Purification, Repentance
Big Idea of the Message: God wants to restore the world.
Application Point: God seeks to renew us not because of our goodness but because of his goodness.
Big Idea of the Series: This six-week Lent series borrows its title from Ezekiel 36 and the picture given there of “the heart of stone” (v. 26). The series looks at ways our hearts are hardened or can be hardened and God’s invitation to transform our callous hearts into “hearts of flesh.” This sermon series is meant to edify your church body by entreating stagnant Christians to seek and find spiritual renewal in Christ.
