“In The Midst of New Dimensions”God of rainbow, fiery pillar, leading where the eagles soar. We your people, ours the journey, now and ever, now and ever, now and evermore.

Instruct us, O Lord, the way of Your statues. Help us to keep them without fail.Give us, O Lord, insight that we may keep Your teachings.Help us observe them with a whole heart.Guide us, O Lord, on the path of Your commandments.Incline our hearts to Your precepts. For in You we grow and gain. In You, we find delight and life. Hallelujah!

Almighty and merciful God, You create us, bless us, call us, and send us. But in your limitless presence our limits are revealed. We confess our mistakes, our missteps, our hard hearts, our stubbornness. We have not loved you with all we have. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us so that we may delight in your call, follow in your ways. We pray all this in your heavenly name. Amen.

Ezekiel 33: 1-11 33&nbsp;The word of the Lord came to me: 2&nbsp;“Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3&nbsp;and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4&nbsp;then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. 5&nbsp;Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. 6&nbsp;But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’7&nbsp;“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8&nbsp;When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 9&nbsp;But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.10&nbsp;“Son of man, say to the Israelites, ‘This is what you are saying: “Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?”’ 11&nbsp;Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’Matthew 18: 15-2015&nbsp;“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16&nbsp;But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17&nbsp;If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.18&nbsp;“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.19&nbsp;“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20&nbsp;For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Praise God above, you heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
