 1. How were you a spiritual “watchman” for others last week?

2. How do memories from your past help you to live more faithfully today?

Ask two people to read aloud Ezekiel 36:16-32 one after the other, preferably from different Bible versions. Then ask a third person to retell the story from the passage in their own words.

3. Describe the people’s previous heart condition and conduct.

4. Why does God say he will take the actions he has planned?

5. How would you summarize God’s promises for the future (vv. 24-30)?

6. What does this passage teach you about God?

For Next Week: Read and reflect on Ezekiel 37:1-14. You can also read next week’s supplemental texts as well as the Study and Application sections as part of your personal study.
