Pastor Daniel Goulding · Sep 26, 2022
Drawing from Ezekiel chapters 1–3, Pastor Daniel argues that God commissioned Ezekiel to share truth with hard-hearted, rebellious people who had confused God's grace for a license to live however they pleased — and that the same commission belongs to the church today. Before Ezekiel said or did a single thing, God gave him a world-expanding vision, filled him with the Holy Spirit, and fed him the Word. These three elements — vision, Spirit, and Scripture — form the sustainable foundation for a courageous, counter-cultural faith in an era when cultural lies are increasingly accepted as truth.

Jesus' declaration in Matthew 16:18 that He would build His 'ecclesia' — a gathering of called-out people — frames everything Paul teaches about spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12. Because the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, He also equips each one with a specific, divinely chosen gift. Those gifts are not personal possessions to be hoarded or ranked; they are given to the gathered body so that every part functions together, interdependent like a human body, advancing a movement that not even the gates of hell can stop.
