1. The watchman (1-20)

A watchman must warn the people of danger. If he does not, he is held accountable for their blood. If they ignore his warning, they are responsible. God's servant is a watchman. He must teach God's word clearly, and warn men to repent and turn from sin. No one is saved by his past good record. We must cross the finish line. No matter how righteous we have been, if we trust our own righteousness and turn from God, we will die. No matter how sinful we have been, if we repent and turn to God, we will live.

2. Why Jerusalem fell (21-33)

Jerusalem fell because the people did not obey God's laws. They thought the land was theirs by right. They did not depend on God. Rather, they depended on their own righteousness. They regarded God's servant as one who sang love songs and played the flute beautifully--just to entertain them. They enjoyed Bible study, but never obeyed.

Application: Lord, help me to be a faithful Bible teacher; help me to obey your word.
One Word: God wants all men to be saved.
