019 - Ezekiel (Ezekiel 16 & 23)

This sermon was rated PG-13 due to the graphic and explicit details depicted in these two chapters. The question is why are such things revealed in Scripture like this? Why the pornographic, explicit, adulterous sin? Why in the Bible? Because we tend to minimize sin. We often "sugar-coat" it to make it palatable. Yet, the severity of sin is such that we need to be awakened to what it does and how it is viewed by God. God, gracious, merciful, and loving, tells us this so that we might awaken, repent, and be redeemed. That's the hope of the gospel.
