Rest In His Sanctuary

Resting in the Sanctuary

While walking through Ezekiel we visited Titus 3 and the wonders of God's salvaging grace. So join me as we look at this personal and intimate sanctuary of rest that we find through righteousness of Jesus.

The central message and teaching is that God promises to be a personal, intimate sanctuary for His people, even in exile and suffering, as revealed in Ezekiel 11:16. This divine refuge is not a physical temple but a living presence that offers solace, protection, and spiritual renewal, transforming believers into wells of living water through a new heart and spirit. The sermon emphasizes that this transformation—marked by spiritual circumcision, inner renewal, and a contrite spirit—is made possible by God's grace and fulfilled in Christ's atoning work, enabling believers to live in obedience, praise, and mission. Drawing from Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Deuteronomy, it underscores that God's mercy is extended to those who turn to Him with all their heart, while judgment falls on those who reject His truth. Ultimately, the believer's life becomes a testimony of grace—a sanctuary in the world—where God's presence is felt, and His salvation is both personally experienced and shared with others.

Titus 3 and the Ministry of Bringing People In

All right… y'all, listen—little by little. That's how the Lord works in His people. Little by little, He pulls us out of self, out of fear, out of the world's noise… and He teaches us how to rest in Him.

And I want to tell you—if you caught that word in the reading, you caught a lifeline. You caught something you can tuck away. You caught a promise that'll hold you up when your knees won't.
