Pastor Jack draws from Ezekiel’s prophetic vision to teach about God’s desire to give us a heart of flesh – a tender, compassionate, and responsive heart. In this deeply pastoral Christmas Eve message, he explains how hardened hearts develop not just from rebellion but from being “baked” by trials, going through spiritual droughts, or developing callouses from years of serving. Pastor Jack invites the congregation to receive God’s gift of a tender heart that is compassionate toward people, communicative in relationships, and conscious of the Holy Spirit’s leading.
