Tom Parker reminds us of the transformative power of God's love and the promise of spiritual renewal on this 3rd Sunday of Lent. The prophecy of Ezekiel takes center stage, offering hope to those in exile and to us in our own spiritual journeys. We're challenged to examine our hearts and recognize the 'idols' we may unconsciously worship in our lives. The promise of God to give us a 'new heart' and a 'new spirit' speaks to His desire for intimate relationship with us. This isn't just ancient history - it's a living promise for our lives today. As we reflect on this, we're invited to consider: What areas of our lives need God's renewing touch? How can we open ourselves to this divine heart transplant? The message reminds us that true transformation comes not from our own efforts alone, but through surrendering to God's grace and allowing His Spirit to work within us.
