I am often asked where I find my inspiration for sermons - this is one place. I believe God speaks to me daily and this is a place where you can look over my shoulder as I write some notes to myself as we journey towards Sunday . . .

Day 239 a note from God: Ezekiel 24-27
How your betrayals defile you! I cleansed you, but you didn’t come clean from your impurities. You won’t be clean again until I have exhausted my anger against you.
Ezekiel 24:13 CEB
Remember when records were actually vinyl? Remember when they would get scratched and repeat themselves over and over?
I am often accused of sounding like a broken record - the same message over and over.
I have often lamented to myself that I seem to be in a rut with the same message coming through Sunday after Sunday.
Then I read Ezekiel (all 27 chapters so far) and wonder, "How did he keep on?"
The same message over and over - Destruction is coming!
I am relieved that my repetitive message is seemingly filled with more hope . . .
God loves you . . .
Jesus died for you . . .
How you live your faith matters . . .
Then again, on second read . . . that is exactly what Ezekiel was proclaiming.
