Sit Where They Sit | Ezekiel 3:15–21


What does real ministry look like in the local church?


In this message, we examine Ezekiel’s powerful example of simply sitting among the people of God, and how that act reveals the heart of true Christian fellowship and ministry.


Before Ezekiel ever spoke, he sat. He observed. He listened. He prepared.

In a time when many are quick to speak but slow to understand, this sermon challenges believers to draw near to one another, to rejoice together, suffer together, and minister with purpose, patience, preparation, and perception.
