Artwork for Behind The Pulpit
Behind The Pulpit · September 22 · 36 min

Serious Face, Serious Title

What happens when our loyalty to God becomes divided? As Glory Departs, Glory Returns continues through Ezekiel, the vision gets darker: Israel’s worship has been compromised, God’s glory is moving away from the temple, and the question becomes uncomfortably personal. The idols may look different today, but the temptation to trust created things more than the Creator hasn’t gone anywhere. This week on Behind the Pulpit, the guys wrestle with what modern idolatry can actually look like, why God’s slow departure from Jerusalem reveals something surprising about His mercy, and how Christians should examine themselves before coming to the Lord’s Table without falling into self-condemnation. Plus, the Great Book War makes a little history—and somehow a potential road trip to a theological publishing warehouse enters the conversation. Join us as we keep journeying through one of the Bible’s wildest books and ask what Ezekiel has to say to the church today. **SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS TO THE SHOW HERE** https://millingtonbaptist.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/241/responses/new ***VOTE HERE*** The Great Book War is on!

What happens when our loyalty to God becomes divided? As Glory Departs, Glory Returns continues through Ezekiel, the vision gets darker: Israel’s worship has been compromised, God’s glory is moving away from the temple, and the question becomes uncomfortably personal. The idols may look different today, but the temptation to trust created things more than the Creator hasn’t gone anywhere.

This week on Behind the Pulpit, the guys wrestle with what modern idolatry can actually look like, why God’s slow departure from Jerusalem reveals something surprising about His mercy, and how Christians should examine themselves before coming to the Lord’s Table without falling into self-condemnation. Plus, the Great Book War makes a little history—and somehow a potential road trip to a theological publishing warehouse enters the conversation.

Join us as we keep journeying through one of the Bible’s wildest books and ask what Ezekiel has to say to the church today.
