When God Heals a Hard Heart: Ezekiel Chapter 11

Broadcast Episode

Monday, April 07

Ezekiel chapter 11 serves as a focal point in examining how hearts grow hard towards God, life, and others, and the potential consequences of this mindset. In the passage, the Jewish people's hearts are described as "stony, " representing a lack of emotion, change, and vulnerability. They turned away from God, adopting the customs and idolatrous practices of surrounding nations. This poses questions about how individuals today can similarly become jaded and cynical. The message underscores that while reasons for hardening may exist, continuing this lifestyle leads to isolation and spiritual death. God offers hope through transformation, as described in the passage, by replacing stony hearts with hearts of flesh, allowing for renewed relationships with Him. The broader message highlights the challenge of maintaining faith and resisting cultural seductions, reminding believers of the need for alignment with divine standards to discern God's will. More insights are available in the book of Ezekiel for those seeking additional understanding and guidance.
