1. How well did you carry out your “I will” statement from last week?  

2. When in your life have you either warned someone or been warned about an impending danger?  

Ask two people to read aloud Ezekiel 33:1-16 one after the other, preferably from different Bible versions. Then, as a group, quickly restate the passage in your own words. 

3. What do you learn about accountability and responsibility for one’s actions from this passage?  

4. What does this passage teach you about God? 

5. What does it teach you about God’s holiness? 

• What does it teach about God’s grace? 

6. What does the passage teach you about humanity? 

7. What do you learn about obedience? 

• What do you learn about repentance? 

8. Who has been a spiritual “watchman” for you? 

9. How can you be a spiritual “watchman” for others? For whom will you “sound the trumpet” to warn them about impending spiritual danger? 

10. Based on our study and discussion, complete this sentence: “This week, I will . . .”  

For Next Week: Read and reflect on Ezekiel 36:16-32. You can also read next week’s supplemental texts as well as the Study and Application sections as part of your personal study.
