The Angels Around God’s Throne: A Glimpse
Video of a message from Ezekiel 1:1 - 14 given by Mako Nagasawa at Trinity North Shore Church in South Hamilton, MA on September 29, 2024. It is part of Creationtide, a new Western Christian effort to honor God’s love for all creation. Ezekiel saw angels in God's temple: the four four-faced cherubim. How do we participate in what the cherubim represent? What do they mean for our sense of hope? Mako reflects on these angels, their role, our relationship to them, and what they teach us because they too are part of God's creation.

Video of a message on Ezekiel 36:22 - 36 given by Mako Nagasawa to Highrock Brookline Church in Brookline, Massachusetts, on March 19, 2023. Message starts at the 36:25 minute mark, and the link will take you there, on YouTube. The message has an abundance of quotations and stories from Jewish sources, which was appropriate given Ezekiel being part of the Hebrew Bible and describing the plight of Israel, and also Brookline, MA having a large Jewish population.
