| 0:00.0 | For tonight, if you want to go to the book of Ezekiel, we're going to be looking there tonight at Ezekiel |
| 0:05.7 | Chapter 38, because I think it's important for me as a pastor to always frame things, particularly as |
| 0:15.2 | it relates to culture and our times and world events through the lens of the Bible. I'll never forget a saying that |
| 0:24.5 | Martin Luther had once when he said that if you preach, he's talking to pastors, if you preach the gospel |
| 0:31.5 | in all aspects, with the exception of addressing the issues of your time, you are not preaching the gospel at all. |
| 0:40.4 | And I've always been challenged by that because it's not, it's not, it's not that we only present |
| 0:47.3 | Jesus. We do that. We present the gospel. We want people to get saved. We want people to know |
| 0:51.7 | how to come to faith through Jesus Christ. We want people to get saved and go want people to know how to come to faith through Jesus Christ. |
| 1:00.8 | We want people to get saved and go to heaven. But it is also understanding how does the Bible address everyday things and the culture and how does the Bible address world events. So I think |
| 1:07.7 | it's important. I want Christians and Cornerstone people in particular to be the most |
| 1:15.6 | well-informed people walk in this planet. And the reason we can be the most well-informed is because |
| 1:24.0 | God has given us His Word that not only address the day-to-day issues, |
| 1:28.4 | but there's a lot of prophecy in here. |
| 1:31.3 | There's a lot of prophecy in the Bible as it relates to future events. |
| 1:36.4 | We should be the most prepared people. |
| 1:38.8 | We should be people who are, you know, sometimes when people talk about the end times |
| 1:43.6 | and eschatology and the book of revelation, all this, you know, they get scared. And I always like to remind them, listen, God has told us of these things not to scare us, but to prepare us. Not to scare us, but to prepare us. |
| 1:56.3 | And I believe that what happened in June 21st in particular, but even before that, when Israel started bombing Iran, is setting up things for the end times that I think we're going to see here in Ezekiel chapter 38. |
| 2:13.8 | Okay, so with that, let's have a word of prayer and then we'll dive into this. |
| 2:17.3 | Father, we thank you for this time that we can be together in your house. |
| 2:20.5 | I thank you for those who are here and those who are watching online. |
| 2:23.7 | We pray now that you would meet us here, Lord, speak to our hearts. |
