What do you do when someone refuses to change, no matter how many times they've been warned? In Ezekiel 4, God calls the prophet Ezekiel to act out His message through a series of strange and unsettling sign-acts—including cooking food over human waste. These symbolic actions were meant to confront the people of Judah with the reality of the coming siege of Jerusalem, and to show that God’s judgment wasn’t sudden or random—it was the result of generations of ignored warnings and persistent rebellion. But even in judgment, God's heart is on display: He’s patient, not passive, and His warnings are invitations to return before it’s too late.In this message, we’ll explore what these ancient symbols mean for us today, why God’s justice is part of His goodness, and how true repentance leads to restoration. We’ll also see how Ezekiel points us to Jesus, the greater prophet who didn’t just symbolize our judgment—He took it upon Himself. If you’ve ever wondered how God responds to stubborn hearts or what role repentance plays in the life of a believer, this message is for you. Join us as we worship, reflect, and respond to the grace of a God who still speaks through warnings—and still saves through love.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.
