Standing on Tiptoes

July 14, 2024 | Ezekiel 47.1-12 | Rob Collis

The book of Ezekiel is among one of the hardest books of the Bible to understand. Yet, amidst all the imagery and obscurity, Ezekiel’s ministry was fundamentally a ministry of hope. This week, Rob preaches from Ezekiel 47.1-12, and invites us to experience the hope of Ezekiel’s vision.

Ezekiel is standing on this tiptoes, and he’s looking over the ledge – he’s trying to catch a glimpse of what God was doing in his day. And what he saw was something far greater than he could have ever dared to imagine! He’s seen a temple filled with the presence of God – and realized that God is going to come and dwell with his people again. And he’s seen a river – an impossible river that flows from God’s temple – and which brings the presence of God to the people, and brings healing and transformation and life wherever it flows.
