Sermon Outline OT (NIV)

THE RIVER FROM THE TEMPLE

Ezekiel 47:3-6

Intr.:

“As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand,

1. he measured off a thousand cubits

and then led me through the waters that was ankledeep.

2. He measures off another thousand cubits

and led me through the waters that was kneedeep.

3. He measured off another thousand

and led me through the water that was up to my waist.

4. He measured  off another thousand,

but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in -a river that no one could cross.

End:

He asked me, ‘Son of man, do you see all this?'”


“….the importance of nurturing relationships……”

“….the importance of nurturing relationships…”

“At 15 I thought being different would blight my life forever. It would take another two decades for me to discover it was my greatest  strength. I wish somebody had made me really understand when I was younger about the importance of nurturing relationships – in the end, the care and love you put into others will always be returned many, many times over.” – Carol Hirschfeld, head of programming at Maori Television
