Ezekiel was one of the major prophets. He, along with the other prophets, suffered much because he spoke God’s Word. Israel had forsaken God and God called Ezekiel to warn her of her sinful state.

3. THE PREPARATION—vv. 14–15
4. THE PREACHING—vv. 16–21
All Christians should be watchmen, warning man of his sin and God’s judgment and punishment which will fall. God has called all born-again Christians to be watchmen. If we fail to warn man, he will be lost and separated from God.
Introduction
Last Sunday we discussed “How to Say “No” to Discouragement”.
I focused on four ‘R’s (Return, Radiate, Rely & Rejoice) based on God’s Word on how to stay encouraged.
Last week was an inward look for beating discouragement.
But God’s people are called to do more than just look inwardly.
Many of you will recall that Naval Air Station Pensacola experienced an active shooter situation
By Russ Bynum
“Fresh out of boot camp, Cameron Walters proudly told his father in Georgia during their nightly video chat that he had passed the exam qualifying him to stand watch and help secure building entrances at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida.
When news broke the next morning of shots being fired at the base, Shane Walters called his son’s cellphone repeatedly throughout the day. There was no answer.
The attack also killed 23-year-old Joshua Watson, a recent graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy from Enterprise, Alabama, and 19-year-old Airman Mohammed Sameh Haitham of St. Petersburg, Florida. Eight others were wounded.
Watson’s brother posted on Facebook that his sibling “died a hero” after giving first responders information on the shooter’s location though he was mortally wounded by gunfire.
“After being shot multiple times he made it outside and told the first response team where the shooter was and those details were invaluable,” Adam Watson wrote.
The Navy praised all three flight school students for their “exceptional heroism and bravery in the face of evil.”
“When confronted, they didn’t run from danger; they ran towards it and saved lives,” Capt. Tim Kinsella, the commanding officer of Naval Air Station Pensacola, said in a statement Saturday.”
Shane Walters told The Associated Press on Sunday that his son died standing watch at the classroom building where the shooter opened fire.”
All Christians should be watchmen,
We are tasked with warning man of his sin and God’s judgment and punishment which will fall. God has called all born-again Christians to be watchmen. If we fail to warn man, he will be lost and separated from God.
