Alright, I'm going to test this real quick, and then... Yeah, oh yeah, it's coming through. I wish I could post a picture in the chat. Alright, I better stop playing with it. That's true. All right. Get a bottle of water, and then we're ready to go. Oh, you're good. I think everybody gets, like, five extra.

in terms of the songs we're not going to do like the bridge on the first one and the other two are recorded, like right before communion. So we're going to do like Scripture reading. This is our God. Yeah, we're going to go like chorus and then we'll just end. It may actually be in there correctly. But I don't think the slides, they're showing up There, so, anyway. All right, I think we're good to go. Yep, yeah.

All right, good morning, mainly to those of you watching on the live stream, we've all and chatting here for a few minutes. We are glad that you're watching with us this morning. We're glad that you all made it here to church this morning. We're going to begin with a word of prayer. Then we're going to read from Job chapter 37. We'll sing a couple of songs, celebrate the Lord's Supper, spend some time in Ezekiel, the 36th chapter, and then sing a little more and be dismissed. Let's go ahead and pray. Father in heaven, we thank you for this day that you have given us. We thank you for the beauty of the snow and the challenge of the snow and the reminder that you are in control of all things. We just ask that as we worship together this morning,

whether here in person or online, that you would encourage us deeply in the depths of our being, that you would help us to see the good news of the gospel, that you would bring us joy in our salvation, that we would turn from our sin, that we would walk in righteousness, transformed by the power of the gospel and equipped by your spirit. We just thank you so much for your church. We thank you so much for your son, and it's in his name we pray. Amen. We're going to start this morning by reading from Job chapter 37. As we see sort of God's greatness expanded in the book of Job. Let's go ahead and we'll read together. So if you would read with me. For to the snow, he says, fall on the earth. Likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.

He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he made may know it. This is the word of the Lord. And so we are thankful for God's word, as God is reminding Job of God's bigness. These words also remind us, as we've heard for the past week, sort of over and over about the snow and the sleet and everything coming. And we worry, and sometimes we struggle. And Job says, as God speaks to Job, that in part this is given so that we might know that God is God. So we're going to start this morning by singing, This Is Our God.

They were like prisons that we couldn't escape, but he came and he died and he rose, but those walls are rubble now. Remember those dyes we call death and grave, they were like mountains that are still in It's still in our way But He came and He died And He rose Those giants are dead now This is our God This is who He is He loves us This is our God This is what He does He saves us He's born across Beat the grave That other land of propane, this is our God, King Jesus. The woman that feels and took our breath away. Faith so weak that we could barely pray. We heard every word, every whisper.

Now those altars in the wilderness tell the story of His faithfulness. Never once did He fail and He never will. This is our God, this is who He is, He loves us. This is our God, this is what He does, He saves us On the cross, beat the grave, and the land of cocaine This is our God, King Jesus This is our God, this is who He is, He loves us This is our God, this is what He does, He saves us For the cross, beat the grave Let our love proclaim This is our God, King Jesus For the cross, beat the grave Let our love proclaim This is our God, King Jesus

Father in heaven, in just a moment as we come to the table, we just ask that you would turn our hearts and you would fix our eyes on the goodness of your Son. We thank you for the calm that you bring, the peace that you bring to our lives, sometimes not through our choices, but through your power and ultimately your grace. you cause us to be still so we just ask this morning as we worship as we sing as we pray as we gather together around the table that you would direct us to the good news of the gospel it's in Jesus name we pray amen we're going to sing as we prepare to come to the Lord's supper turn your eyes

*sad music* Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in His wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace Turn your eyes to that hillside Where justice and mercy embrace There the Son of God gave for us And our measureless death was erased Jesus, to you we lift our eyes. Jesus, our glory and our Christ. We adore you, behold you, our Savior ever true. Oh, Jesus, we turn our eyes to you. Turn your eyes to the morning And see Christ the lion awake What a glorious dawn Fear of death is gone For we carry His life in our veins Jesus, to you we lift our eyes Jesus, our glory and our pride We adore you, behold you, our Savior ever true. Oh, Jesus, we turn our eyes to you.

Turn your eyes to the heavens. Our king will return for his own Every knee will bow Every tongue will shout All glory to Jesus Jesus, to you we lift our eyes Jesus, our glory and our prize We adore you, behold you Our Savior ever true Oh, Jesus, we turn our eyes to you Jesus, to you we lift our prize Jesus, our glory and our prize We adore you, behold you Our Savior ever true Oh, Jesus, we turn our eyes to you Oh, Jesus, we turn our eyes to you There is something wonderful about snow that has been untouched. without all the tracks or the mud that has been covered up. We went from gray and sad and our yard was kind of muddy. Having a couple dogs, right, the snow does wonders for our landscaping.

It goes from kind of brown, kind of sad, kind of dreary in the wintertime to something that looks far better than it did before. In fact, one of our kids this morning said, hey, don't make any tracks over there. Because when one of the other kids wakes up, they're going to want to see the untouched snow. And as we come to the table this morning, in Isaiah chapter 1, we hear this. Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. And what we find, especially as we continue on in the book of Isaiah, and as we hear the prophecies of the suffering servant, the one who would come and stand in our place,

who heals us by his own wounds, We find that God isn't simply covering up all the brownness and the brokenness of our life with a fresh coat of snow, but rather, He's transforming them. Though they are red like crimson, they shall become, not covered up, but taken away and lives transformed. We're going to pray, and then we'll partake of the Lord's Supper together. Father in heaven, we thank you that you take broken people, who are broken by sin and rebellion. We thank You that You transform us through the good news of the Gospel. And as we come to the table this morning, looking to the broken body and the shed blood of Your Son, we thank You so much for Jesus and His sacrifice. that's both satisfied righteousness and poured out upon us grace. So I ask that you bless this bread and this cup.

May we be a people who proclaim your Son until he comes again. It's in his name we pray. Amen. If you would, take the bread with me as we remember the body of Jesus.

And as we partake of the new covenant that is found in the blood of Jesus, let's remember the redemption that is provided by his sacrifice. Let's go ahead and pray one more time. Father in heaven, thank you for this meal that nourishes our souls, that strengthens our hands, that transforms our spirits. May you nourish us and strengthen us in righteousness and for righteousness. And for the good of your people and for the mission of your church, we thank you for Jesus. And it's in his name we pray. Amen. We are taking a little break this morning from the book of Matthew, where we have been in the Sermon on the Mount. If you didn't get a sermon handout, there are some on the back table, and I think Penelope is glad to hand those out if you need one.

If anybody wants one, Penelope will go and grab them for you. We're going to be in Ezekiel 36, not in the Sermon on the Mount this morning, but Sermon on the Mount adjacent, as we have been speaking in the Sermon on the Mount about righteousness, specifically the righteousness that we are called to, this righteous standard that ultimately fulfilled in Jesus. I want to take us to Ezekiel chapter 36, and we'll take a look at how that transformation into righteousness occurs. And so I want us to think about birthdays as we begin, and I have one birthday that specifically for me stands out as the worst birthday that I have ever experienced. It was my sixth birthday. Fairly certain it was my sixth birthday. I'm not sure which birthday it was. I just remember it in very deep detail.

And the reason that this birthday was so terrible was because on the morning of my birthday, my dad had discovered that I had decorated the new floor that he had put into my room with the back part of a claw hammer. Because it made these great patterns. And I wasn't even thinking that I was ruining the floor. I was like, look, I am decorating. I am adding value to this piece of real estate. It did not add value neither to my life nor to the real estate. And it was my own fault, but it was a difficult birthday, and it still sticks out. And I remember just thinking, this is the worst birthday that I have ever experienced, despite the fact everything that happened was ultimately my fault. As we begin the book of Ezekiel, in the very, very beginning,

What we find is that Ezekiel starts to write this entire letter, this prophecy, not just prophecy, but this judgment against God's people, judgment against nations, ultimately ending where we are this morning in hope and restoration. It begins, most commentators think, as it starts on the 30th year, that he is celebrating his 30th birthday. And the remarkable thing is that Ezekiel should have been ordained to the priesthood on this day. And instead of being ordained to the priesthood on his 30th birthday, he's sitting by the river outside of an Israelite refugee camp. The year he should have been installed as a priest, he is far from home as a result of God's judgment against Israel. And so Ezekiel is going to speak to a people who are judged and who are in exile, and he's going to show them that their biggest problem isn't the circumstances that they are experiencing,

but it's the condition of their hearts. And before God restores their land or rebuilds their city, he promises to give them new hearts and his own spirit so they can finally live as his people. And what you find is that the heart of our text this morning is all about transformation. And what you're going to find as we walk through this is we're going to see that God transforms his people. And it starts like this, that God transforms our focus. Therefore, this is God speaking, say to the house of Israel, thus says the Lord God, it is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations,

and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. So this sounds super cheerful, right? It sounds like this is going to be an encouraging message from God, but what God is doing in these words where he directs an accusation that's not simply an accusation, but it's a reality. They have profaned the name of God. They have turned their back on him. The nations now look at his people and say, what kind of a God could have people that are like this who are taken into exile? And what God is doing in these hard words, and sometimes it takes hard words to break through our stubbornness, is that he's pointing them in a new direction.

It's taking a broken people and pointing them, reorienting them in the right direction. It's like changing their spiritual compass. So if you ever have used a good compass, most of them have a ring that you can turn, and what you need to do is you need to adjust the degrees on the compass for the difference between magnetic north and the actual North Pole. Otherwise, for every mile you travel, or every four miles you travel, you're going to be off a mile in your direction, or for every mile that you travel, you're going to be off a quarter of a mile in direction. If you don't, first, before you begin to navigate, take your compass and adjust it so that the arrow points to true north rather than simply magnetic north. And what God is doing is taking his people and saying,

the direction that you are going, you're going to miss the destination if somebody doesn't take and adjust you. And so he does that. Notice what he does. Thus says the Lord, and this is how he changes the focus. It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I'm about to act, but for the sake of my holy name. And then he will go on and say, to vindicate my holy name, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. And the question I think we have to ask is, how does turning our eyes to God's holiness change our focus? You see, there's a lie that's easy to believe that God's work is all in response to our goodness, that I improved, that I tried harder, that I deserve. And notice what this text says, because it is shocking in its wording.

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God, It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name. I will vindicate the holiness of my great name. I am the Lord God. The center of this reorientation for the people of God is the holiness of God. It's focused on God's glory, not ours, and not on our goodness, our deservedness, or our achievement, but specifically on his holiness, his glory, not ours. Now, if we're honest, and if I'm honest, I think this declaration of the centrality of God's holiness is probably not a comfortable moment for us to hear these words. Thus says the Lord God, it is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I'm about to act,

but for the sake of my holy name. It sort of causes us to bristle up. So ranger, our little cattle dog, when he sees something he doesn't like, he goes from being nice and sleek, high speed, low drag, to essentially he just turns into a hedgehog. He gets just real poofy, real fast, bristling everywhere. And when I hear these words, it is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, there is a tendency in my pride to bristle a little bit, and go, why not about me? Why not about us? And what we find, I think in part the reason we bristle, is because when we hear people in this world make these kind of statements about how great they are,

for example, if you hear the news or you listen to people and they talk about how great they are, we sort of bristle at their pride. And oftentimes we think proud people aren't the kind of people we want to be around. And we don't like it, and the reality is, on this earth, in our physical world, it's often not true. The people who proclaim their greatness are often harsh and difficult. And what we do is we've gotten it backwards, and we begin to judge God by the broken people we encounter, instead of the other way around, by judging those broken people by the greatness of God. And so instead of looking at God and in his holiness and rejoicing in that, we begin to bristle because we have got it backwards. You see, one of the things that happens when God vindicates the holiness of his name,

he's proclaiming what is true. See what's happening in this situation. Which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. The actions of God's people have led to accusations about the character of God. And think about it, in our world, if we're falsely accused of something, most of us respond with anger, right? Because it wasn't true, and it was an accusation that was leveled against us. And we respond this way because truth matters. And God here is responding in that way, not out of pride, but because truth matters. You see, God's response here is not the fragility of ego. It's holiness and righteousness and truth and goodness and life. When God acts for his name, he is defending what is true. He is preserving what is good, and he is restoring what is right.

In fact, I would say this, if God did not act for his name, he would not be righteous. You see, when God vindicates the holiness of his name, he is proclaiming what is good. Himself and to us, that he is good. And I think about it this way pretty frequently. When my kids, they're afraid or they're hurt or they're confused or they're struggling, one of the things that I do, and sometimes, not very gently, I will look at them and I'll go, look at me. Stop looking at your fear. Stop looking at your hurt. Stop looking at your worry. And sometimes, depending on the situation, you gently say that. But sometimes their attention is so fixed on that thing that they are terrified. They need to hear, look at me, right? In their confusion, hurt, and fear,

they need to see their dad who is there to comfort and protect and to bring clarity to the situation. They need an anchor in those moments. And so here are broken people in the book of Ezekiel. They've had their brokenness exposed through both physical judgment, defeat and exile, and in the words of God, bringing judgment upon their spiritual life and what God is doing is going look at me he's telling his children look at me because your hope is not found in your righteousness it's not a viable option but it's found in the glory of God's holy name right our hope is only secure if it rests on the God who is truly secure and so notice that God does not change often our struggle with God's proclamation of his holy name is that we want our name to be front and center.

You think about it in Luke 18 with the Pharisee who lives for comparison. Thank you, Lord, that I am not like other men. Or as we'll see in the Sermon on the Mount in praying, fasting, and giving, to be seen and praised by men for recognition. You see, oftentimes we want moral superiority or we want moral applause. And God says, this isn't about your record. It's about my record. Refocused, brought back into line, and it's not comfortable because it's like setting a bone. Being brought back to where we need to be. And in that moment where God brings us back, he then restores our brokenness. Listen to what he says. I will take you from the nations and gather you to all the countries. Gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.

I will sprinkle clean water on you. And you shall be clean from all your uncleanness, and from your idols I will cleanse you. Notice that God is at work. He is the active subject in every word. Not abstract grace, but grace in action. I will take you, I will gather you, I will sprinkle you, and I will cleanse you. That God is the one at work. And so notice that it starts with rescue. God says, I am coming, and it doesn't matter what country and what land and how far you are apart. I am going to come, and I am going to take you, right? I'm not going to invite, I'm not going to ask for permission from the countries of which you have been sent into, but in rescue, I will come, and I will take you.

Then notice, he doesn't just rescue, then he restores, right? Exile didn't just remove Israel from a land, it fractured them, and it fractured their identity and their community. In Scripture, to be scattered is to be vulnerable, disoriented, and unprotected. Jesus will talk about sheep, and how when the shepherd is killed, the sheep scatter. There's no one to protect, no one to hold them together. They are now vulnerable, and they're all alone. And notice what he says. First of all, I'm going to rescue you, take you from the nations, and then I'm going to gather you, I'm going to bring you all together. So there's rescue, and there's restored. And then notice this. They are renewed. They are cleansed. 51st Psalm, David prays, Cleanse me with hyssop and I shall be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

I will sprinkle clean water on you. It's priestly language. The language of forgiveness and sprinkling of the blood sprinkled on the altar on the day of atonement. From your idols, I will cleanse you. Not just washing a little bit of the outside, but dealing with the inside. We're sometimes really good at the outside. So the other day, when we had a little bit of rain, I was looking at our pilot. And I was like, man, it is so clean and so shiny. It looks so good. The tires are great. Rachel gets in and goes, it smells like a horse in here. Looks great on the outside, but the inside. So God doesn't just come and sprinkle clean. Notice what it says. I will cleanse you from your idols, those things that your heart is set upon.

I'm going to come and rescue you. I'm going to restore you. I'm going to clean you, and I'm going to not just let it be on the surface, that I will cleanse you. He names the problem directly. Not mistakes, not weakness, idolatry. And God reaches down to the root of the symptom. You see, the gospel doesn't minimize sin, and grace doesn't pretend that sin doesn't matter. It digs into our heart, and it removes it. Once God has brought us near and washed us clean, He then addresses the deeper problem. Not just what we've done, but the heart that keeps producing it. He's changed our focus and our direction, and now He gets to the root of the problem, which is our hearts, because the reality is, if left to our own devices, we're going to be in trouble.

If God just simply came, turned our attention to the right place, got us cleaned up and left us, we'd be in trouble. One of my good friends who was here, and he was an elder here several years ago before he passed away, he grew up in Pawpaw as a young boy, and so this story would have probably taken place in the 1930s. And near Pawpaw, probably most of you know there is the Pawpaw Tunnel. Before, trains were prevalent. Most cargo went down barges on the river, and somebody had the bright idea that instead of dealing with all the bends in the river, We just cut through a mountain, put a little channel through there, and we run the barges in this little piece of the river through the mountain. I think it was about a year after they finished it that the railroad came and rendered the canal essentially obsolete.

You can go there today and walk through the tunnel, but you do so on a nice path that's up high with a nice fence, but there's still water flowing through that canal. And so he was telling me that it was after church one Sunday, And he was in his Sunday best back when you dressed up everybody in their Sunday best and went to church. So this has probably been the later part of the 1930s. Mom got him all sparkling clean, sent him to church. And after church, him and his buddies walked over to the canal and they said, you know what, I bet we can make it all the way through the tunnel and there's no towpath. And so they walked through the dark, muddy water in all their fancy church clothes. And he told me when he got home that like the reaction from his mom wasn't just like you should not have done that, right?

She got them all cleaned up and then you go crawl through a muddy tunnel in like three feet of water filled with snakes, right? This is what we do left to our own devices, right? God refocuses us. He brings us and he cleans us and he restores us. But if he leaves us like that, we're going to head right back in all our clean clothes into the muddiness of the tunnel. And so here's what happened. God replaces ruined hearts. And I will give you a new heart and a new spirit I will put within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Notice it's not transformed, it's replaced. This is a turning point of the whole passage, right? The heart of stone. The heart of stone is not stubborn or immature, right?

It is absolutely unresponsive. Think about the picture of stone, right? We can take a piece of wood that's maybe bent or warped a little bit, and with enough force and pressure, maybe heat and steam, we can twist that wood and we can make it fit where we want it to go. That doesn't work with stone. And so notice God doesn't repair our stony hearts. He replaces it. He doesn't try to soften it. He doesn't reshape it. It's not even dynamite the stone of your heart out and use the pieces to make a beautiful mosaic. He doesn't say, here's some better heart habits. what does it say? I will give you a new heart and a new spirit I will put within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. You see, no amount of instruction

can make a heart of stone beat. Instead, he says, I'll give you a heart of flesh. And this is not what we frequently think of in the New Testament sense. We hear about the flesh in the New Testament. We think about sinfulness and indulgence. The flesh here is just literally a real heart. Instead of a stone heart that doesn't move or doesn't beat, here is a real heart that moves and it beats. It's living, responsive, capable of grief, love, repentance, and obedience. It's a beating heart. Jesus ultimately in the Sermon on the Mount and God here in Ezekiel is not calling stone-hearted people just to pretend to be alive. He's describing what life looks like after God gives a living heart. It's regeneration, not behavior modification. Because one of the things that we found, I think, in life is that we can

change behavior without touching the heart. Right? We can be moral and try to follow the rules, but ultimately it collapses into pride or despair. You see, external conformity without a change of heart never produces joy. And I want you to understand that God does not demand of us what he does not give us. He doesn't shame our weaknesses. He addresses our inability. He does not wait for our readiness, but rather he creates it. And so we feel worn out, exposed, maybe struggling to keep up. Ezekiel 36 says obedience begins with a gift, not with a threat. Once God has refocused our direction. He's realigned our position, remade our hearts. We find that obedience no longer rests on willpower, that God energizes our souls. I'll put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. There is one word I want you to see

to start with in this verse. It's the word cause. I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules this is not i will help you if you try i'll assist your effort it is i will cause you to walk in my statutes not covert coercion it's desire a new heart aligned with the ability of the work of the spirit within us you see God does not drag us into obedience our desires are changed our energy is restored what we find is The law can reveal sin and God's will and define righteousness, but in the gospel you find that it creates love, lasting obedience, and sustained faithfulness. God is no longer merely saying, do this. He is saying, let me guide you, let me help you,

let me walk with you. And we begin to find a shift in our life that moves from here into faith, from performance into participation, from rule keeping into relationship you see God as he refocuses us as he acts for his name he restores us brings us near and cleanses us he has replaced our hearts giving us a new one and energized us to cause us to walk by his spirit you see the gospel is not a command to become something we are not it is an invitation to live out what God does in our lives through the good news of Jesus on the cross and the work of the spirit let's pray father in heaven thank you for Jesus and for grace thank you for hope restore our souls reinvigorate our lives may we walk by your spirit and not by our own strength

it's in Jesus name we pray amen as we close this morning i just want to read from uh Psalm 147 verse 16 and then share with you a blessing from this text. Okay, it shows up here, not on my screen. It says, he gives snow like wool. He scatters frost like ashes. He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs. Who can stand before his cold? So may the God who commands the snow steady our hearts. May He cleanse you by His grace and cause you to walk by His Spirit so that in every season you rest in His glory and trust Him for His good. Amen.

I have seen my Father's glory Revealed in Jesus Christ And the more that I behold Him The more He satisfies When I gaze upon His beauty When I see Him as I should Then my eyes are lifted upward For His glory in my will There is hope in every trial For I can trust the Lord He will turn my heart towards You And help me bear the thorn So in faith I follow Jesus On the road not understood For I know that He is working for His glory in my world. To our God be the glory, to our God be praise, He alone, the name above all names. I will boast ever only in the Lord, my God, for I know His glory is my good. See the open arms of Jesus upon the cross that day.

What they understood as weakness Deserved by every praise For the charge that was against me It was never to the word Yes, I know that He has saved me For His glory and my good To our God be the glory To our God be praised, be alone In the name above all names I will boast ever only in the Lord my God For I know His glory is my good

Would I gladly be made nothing, that Christ would be made more? Would I seek the only kingdom, that far outweighs them all? I will stand before my Father, where the faithful saints have stood. And with joy my heart shall praise Him, for His glory and my good. And with joy my heart shall praise Him, for His glory and my good. To our God be the glory, to our God be the rest. He alone, the name above all names. I will boast ever only in the Lord my God. For I know His glory to my good. To our God be the glory. To our God be the grace. Leave alone the name above all names. And I will boast ever only in the Lord my God. For I know His glory is my good. Yes, I know His glory is my good. you Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
