The Word of God: Ezekiel, Week 3


This year in FamilyQuest we'll be studying the word of God. We'll learn how it came to be, study some of the books of the Bible, and even study some of the bigger concepts found in the Bible.

Let's face it, there are some books of the Bible that are just harder to read or understand than others. Ezekiel is probably one of those books for most people. It's a book about a prophet, asked by God to do some strange things, but he chose to trust God and obey by doing what was asked. No matter how weird it might have seemed to him or those around him.

Check out The Bible Project's information on the book of Ezekiel. This has some good, basic information to help your family understand a little more about this special book of the Bible.

Memory Verse
This unit's memory verse is Ezekiel 3:10: And he said to me, “Son of man, listen carefully and take to heart all the words I speak to you."

We don't have a song that goes with this verse (but, thankfully, it's short, so it shouldn't take too long to learn!), but we do have a song that will help us understand the importance of God's word as it points us to Jesus: Agency D3: God's Son
