The Weight of Glory | Ezekiel 1:1- 2:4 | Pastor Dave Hentschel

In the opening vision of Ezekiel, Pastor Dave Hentschel begins our new series, Ezekiel: Glory Departs… Glory Returns, by confronting us with a foundational question: what truly carries the most weight in our lives? Through Ezekiel’s situation in exile, his overwhelming vision of God’s throne and glory, and his unexpected calling as a prophet, we are reminded that God is not a supporting character in our story—we are part of His. Even when Ezekiel’s plans had collapsed and his future seemed lost, the heavens opened and revealed that God was still present, sovereign, and reigning over all things. When we see the glory of God for who He truly is—infinitely beyond us, supremely important, and absolutely beautiful—we stop making ourselves the center of the story and surrender our lives to His purposes.
