Pastor: Like Ezekiel, I have been told: "...son of man, you are living among rebellious people."
People: With God’s help, out of rebellion comes an enthusiasm to do what is right!
Pastor: Like Ezekiel, I have been told: "...son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes, but refuse to see..."
People: With God’s help, out of blindness comes the potential to see what is right.
Pastor: Like Ezekiel, I have been told: "... son of man, you are lining among rebellious people. ...they have ears, but refuse to listen."
People: With God’s help, out of deafness come the inclination to hear what is right.
ALL: With God’s help, may we overcome our rebelliousness, our tendency to be blinded by this world’s unrighteousness and our susceptibility to being deaf to God’s call.
