Inescapable Judgment
Ezekiel 14:12-23
Dr. Stephen Streett | April 29, 2026
1. The Mask of the Heart
• God isn’t seeking perfection; He wants a yielded heart.
• Transformation only begins when we stop pretending.
• The Creator wants to be known—why do we choose to ignore Him?
2. Righteousness is Non-Transferable
• The Big Three: Even the combined merit of Noah, Daniel, and Job couldn’t save Israel (Ezek. 14:14).
• Individual Responsibility: Association with believers or godly parents isn’t a “salvation pass.”
• Key Truth: Your profession of Christ is your decision alone.
3. The Warning of Judgment
• Four Judgments: War, famine, wild beasts, and disease.
• These trials remind us of our total dependence on God.
• Survivors in Babylon were just as wicked—God’s judgment is always righteous (Neh. 9:33).
4. Our Hope & Legacy
• The Lamb: Jesus is the sacrifice the Old Testament law couldn’t provide.
• The Promise: Nothing can separate us from God’s love (Romans 8:38).
• The Identity: You are “chosen” and “set apart” (1 Peter 2:9).
• Humble your heart and confess (Lev. 26:40-42).
• Challenge: You are a royal priesthood. Will you step out of the darkness and into His light?
