Worship This Week
Sunday, Sep 6, 2026 | Still Here When It’s Too Much
This Sunday Pastor Eric continues our sermon series, Still Here: When Holding On is Holy Enough, our four-week journey through the Hebrew Bible with people who had reached the end of themselves. Last week we sat with Jeremiah’s burn out and honest complaint. This week we meet Ezekiel, handed a responsibility almost too heavy to carry.
God appoints Ezekiel a sentinel, a watchman responsible for warning others of danger. Anyone who has felt responsible for another person’s wellbeing knows the weight of it: the parent, the caregiver, the friend who sees trouble coming, and any of us tired of watching the world get used to things we never agreed to. But, God interrupts Ezekiel’s assignment with something that sounds almost like heartbreak: “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked… turn back, turn back.” The responsibility God gave Ezekiel was never a cold demand. It flowed from a God who does not want to lose anyone, and who carries the weight with us.
Accompanying scriptures are Romans 13:8-14 and Matthew 18:15-20.
