Greg Gilbert, Ezekiel 17 - 24
Preaching through Ezekiel 17-24, Gilbert argues that Israel's self-assurance; both the false confidence that judgment would never fall and the presumption that any coming salvation would be deserved; is exactly what God dismantles before finally striking Jerusalem, and that same self-assurance is deadly for hearers today because it blinds people to judgment and flatters them about their own worthiness.
