Ezekiel April 22

Idols of the Heart Dr. Stephen Streett | Ezekiel 14:1-11 | April 22, 2026 (Ezekiel 14:3) “Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces” Take a moment to consider your own heart. What do you love more than God? What do you chase harder than him? What do you find pleasure in more than Him? What if God gave you a tour of your idols? Where would he take you? What would he show you? Think of it this way: what is your most important pursuit? What do you believe will bring you the greatest happiness or joy? When you are frustrated or discouraged, where do you go for comfort? What’s the main focus of your life? Prayer leading into communion: • Ask God to give you wisdom as you seek to root out idolatry in your heart. Confess your false gods and think about ways you can so no to the temptation of worshipping a false god. • Pray for discernment to see where you are weak. Ask God to help you say no to temptation. Ask him to help you see through the lies of whatever idol is tempting you. • Praise God that forgiveness and redemption is available for idolators. Praise Jesus for dying for our false worship and praise him for rising from the dead. Ask him to help you follow his Spirit today.
