To accompany our study of Ezekiel, I have revised and updated my timeline of the most prominent Israelite prophets. I hope this can be helpful for your study of the Old Testament!
Ezekiel Overview
To accompany our sermon series on Ezekiel, I have composed a chronological and thematic chart of the book. I hope this will be helpful in your study of Ezekiel!
Who Am I Personally?
As we develop our identity in Christ, there is room for us to maintain our unique personality and to develop individual identities as followers of the master. How can we maintain the core of discipleship to Christ while retaining the things that make us who we are? And how does God want to use us personally, as unique individuals?
(Preaching on developing an identity in Christ. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on September 29, 2024.)
Who Am I Aesthetically?
We make a lot of decisions about how we present ourselves to the world that we might describe as aesthetics, or style, or a vibe. Does God care how we present ourselves to the world? What role do our aesthetic choices play in cultivating a holy identity in Christ?

An Israel Without YHWH
The last five chapters of the book of Judges doesn’t really seem to fit
with the rest of the book. There are no judges, and the stories exist
seemingly devoid of context. But these chapters serve as a conclusion
that reinforces and solidifies the main themes of the book as a whole.
What can we learn from these horrific stories?

A Study of Strength
The story of Samson is both heroic and tragic. Samson’s supernatural strength creates several memorable moments, but his lack of any other kind of strength led him into sorrow, anger, and despair. What can we learn from this tragic judge?

Who Am I Relationally?
In many ways humans are defined by their relationships to others. It can be easy to allow our individual identities to be subsumed by these connections. How does God expect our relationships to influence our identities, and how can we develop an identity in Christ while also righteously connecting with others?
(Preaching on developing an identity in Christ. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on September 8, 2024.)
A Failed Judge
The story of Judges is one of a steady decline in Israel away from God and further into unrighteousness. The judges themselves were not exempt from this digression. The sequence of Gideon-Jephthah-Samson highlights how even the leaders in Israel fell further and further from God. What can we learn from Jephthah’s failure?
(Preaching on Judges. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on September 1, 2024.)
Who Am I Politically?
Politics dominates modern discourse, but what exactly are politics. What makes something political? And, most importantly, what does God expect of the Christian in regards to politics?
(Preaching on developing an identity in Christ. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on September 1, 2024.)
Who Am I Professionally?
Most adults spend most of their waking hours at work, so it’s not surprising that working or professional identity becomes a central part of our sense of self. But what is the point of work in the Bible? What does God have to say about the role of work in our identity?
