Ezekiel 36:24-29 | Sermon Resources | 24 October 2021
Sermon Summary
Pastor Billy continues in the Holy Spirit sermon series this week preaching on the promise of a new heart and new spirit from Ezekiel 36. We will consider why we need a new heart, how we get it, and what it does.
Discussion Questions
- Of all the “I will” statements in this passage what is most meaningful for you? How so?
- What issue does v.24 address? In what sense do we continue to be in exile today?
- Why would God’s people need to be “cleansed” from their idols? Why not just forgiven?
- What is the difference between a heart of stone and a heart of flesh?
- What does it say about us and our spiritual condition that we have a heart of stone?
- What is the role of the Holy Spirit in this passage?
- Why is it significant that the Spirit causes us to walk in obedience (v.27)?
- What might it look like in your life this week if you lived out of the new heart and new spirit He has put within us?
For the Family
- Memorize: Zechariah 4:6 – Then he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.”
- Read: John 3:1-8 and discuss what Jesus means by being born again.
- Discuss: Why do we need God to give us a new heart?
