Discussion Questions: January 4
Opening
What stood out to you from Sunday’s message?
Summary
Read Ezekiel 1
On the day that Ezekiel was supposed to enter priestly service, he experiences an indescribable and overwhelming vision of the glory of God which would change the course of his life forever. The curtain was briefly lifted and Ezekiel glimpsed spiritual reality. He would spend the rest of his days trying to change the thinking of the exiles about their God. Like the exiles, have we become complacent about God? Is our vision of God far too small?
