Contributed by David Wilson on Mar 23, 2011

God's bleak message of certain judgment continues as Ezekiel describes the basis for judgement, the certainty of judgment, and the completeness of this judgment. A bleak, doom and gloom text reminds us of the holiness of God.

Laziness Excused Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 14, 2013
