Diamond-Hard Hearts | Zechariah 7:1-14 | 11/10/2024

Returning to the prophet Zechariah, Pastor Andrew preaches on Zechariah 7:1–14. Zechariah lived and prophesied in Judah after the Jewish people returned from exile in Babylon. The main thrust of God's message to his people is, "if you return to me, I will return to you." Mingled in Zechariah's prophesies are God's warnings and curses for sin. Because God is righteous, these warnings are just, necessary, and required. Ultimately, these curses and warnings point to Jesus Christ, who took on all the sin and guilt of those who believe in him. Without warnings or curses, we would not see the extent of our sin or the extent of Christ's powerful life. The point, then, of Zechariah 7:1–14 is that God's wrath comes against false religion that masks diamond-hard hearts. So, our only hope, as in the days of Zechariah, is God's MESSIAH -- HE transforms our hearts. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_95545cdad53d4028ae8b505a0e2cb2ea.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_f85fbc5cc37a4fb5afb8246d9ad3475a.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: Review of previous sermons in series Main Points Application ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/
