Does That Sound Like Love? — What Ezekiel Reveals About God’s Heart
Does God’s discipline look like love? In this episode, host Julie McGhghy explores the Book of Ezekiel to discover that everything God does—both warnings and promises, the good and the bad—flows from one motive: His great love for us, and His desire that we would know Him. From warnings of judgment to promises of restoration, from the cross of Christ to His tender care for the hurting, God’s unifying purpose is that we would turn our eyes to Him.
