Heart Change

Pastor Bill Bush · Oct 10, 2022

In Ezekiel 8–11, God exposes that Israel's crisis was never primarily about geography, politics, or circumstances — it was always a heart problem. The people in Jerusalem believed their location and religious activity made them righteous, while the exiles were the problem. God reveals the opposite: He will scatter, gather, and give His people a new heart and a new spirit. This promise finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, whose death and resurrection — foreshadowed by the bronze serpent Moses lifted in the wilderness — is the only way any person receives a new heart, the Holy Spirit, and true life.

Every marriage struggle has a deeper cause beneath the surface: the unexamined baggage — fears, traumas, dysfunctions, and unhealthy habits — that each person carries into the relationship. Drawing on Romans 7, the sermon argues that self-help principles alone cannot fix what is fundamentally a heart problem. True and lasting change requires recognizing the cause of our brokenness, realizing the consequences of ignoring it, and receiving the cure that only Jesus can provide — through His Spirit, His people, and a willingness to walk a real journey of healing.
