What does it mean that God "judges the nations?" Why is this a good thing? Where's the hope in what feels (to modern ears at least) a bit harsh? What is a "Tyre?"

Why are we reading the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel alongside the New Testament gospel of John? What is each author trying to do that is the same? That is different? How does Jesus influence what we find in Ezekiel? We try to answer some of these questions on this episode. The two books, share a lot in common actually--structure, image, and metaphor are only the beginning...

Last Sunday, we opened the scriptures to Ezekiel Chapter 16. Passages of scripture like Ezekiel 16, can raise many questions for modern readers. This brief talk tries to answer some of those questions, regarding the vivid, graphic, and even offensive language and images that scripture often employs. Keep in mind, this is by no means exhaustive and is meant to sit within the context of our community, as we journey together in God's Word as we seek to follow Jesus in the everyday.

We are beginning a month(s) long series looking at Ezekiel. More specifically, we are engaging Ezekiel in such a way, that we might see and experience Jesus differently in the book of John. (We'll explain later). So, as starting place, on this week's episode we sat down to talk a bit about the Old Testament prophets. We examine some of our misconceptions, our first impressions and what it might mean to see the world through the lens offered by Ezekiel. Oh yeah, and then there are dung cakes.
Here's the quote from Walter Brueggemann mentioned in this episode:
“[A prophet is] someone that tries to articulate the world as though God were really active in the world. And, that means on the one hand, to identify those parts of our world order that are contradictory to God, but on the other hand, it means to talk about the will and purpose that God has for the world that will indeed come to fruition even in circumstances that we can’t imagine. So, what that gives you is both judgement and hope, and as you know very well, the prophetic books of the Old Testament are always that combination of judgement and hope, which I think, in Christian tradition, factors out as crucifixion and resurrection.”

A conversation about our time practicing silence and solitude as a way to "be with Jesus." A recap of sorts, reflecting on the past month of concentrating on the habit, the discipline... what's been difficult? What's been life-giving? How has it gone?
Also on this episode: we have our first ever listener call in (sort of), some fellow CCC'ers earn GOLD STARS on Jeremy's board and... Ben gets a prayer rope.
