Sunday Worship July 19, 2026 (ReBroadcast)

Main message: When sudden loss or a "God‑why" moment comes, God still has a word for you; even if he withdraws what you love, it remains in his care and he gives strength — Ezekiel’s commanded silence is a prophetic sign, not a prohibition against honest grief.

Key points:

• The sermon centers on Ezekiel 24:15–18: God tells Ezekiel he will lose "the desire of your eyes," and Ezekiel obeys by remaining silent — a prophetic act amid exile.
• Unexpected loss can be paralyzing, but God still speaks to the brokenhearted and has promises for those who mourn.
• When God removes something, it doesn’t mean it was stolen by the devil but that it’s now in God’s hands — sometimes because it’s better there or because God is reclaiming our devotion.
• Ezekiel’s silence was a sign for the people, not a command to suppress grief; cultural, public mourning practices are being rejected in this prophetic act.
• God provides sustaining strength during sorrow — he keeps, strengthens, and preserves those on the verge of falling apart.
