Ezekiel 10:1-5
During the offering time we played this version of ''Ezekiel Saw De Wheel'' by The ''Vocal Union Quartet'' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceDdAeKIo4E)
OPEN: How many of you have ever heard that song before?
It was written back in the 1940s by a popular folk singer named Woody Guthrie and has been sung by various quartets and choirs ever since.
The reason we played it this morning is because it was inspired by the text we're reading this morning. Turn with me to Ezekiel 10:1-5 and follow along as I read.
TEXT: Ezekiel 10:1-5
OPENING PRAYER
I love preaching. Over the years I've found that the Bible is like a tapestry, its themes and stories are so interwoven and intricate, that if you pay close attention you can see the patterns and imagery that would simply amaze you.
ILLUS: Have you ever seen a tapestry being made?
As you watch, you find the artist adds one layer of thread after another and as you watch the patterns begin to unfold before you. You're not sure how the worker of the threads does this, but it is amazing because of how intricately the thread works itself into that pattern. And before you know it, a beautiful wall hanging has appeared out of nothing.
That's how it is with Scripture.
The interwoven nature of what God has done is amazing.
Once you see the patterns develop you realize how masterful the plan had been.
And that's exactly how I felt as studied the texts for this morning.
In this sermon series we're dealing with sounds from the Bible
And the sound we're focusing on today is described in Ezekiel 10:5
''the sound of the wings of the cherubim... like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.''
Now many people, when they hear the word ''Cherub'' think of cute harmless little children with tiny wings on their backs (we showed such a picture on the overhead).
Let me perfectly clear here...
Cherubs are not ''cute'', ...
