Ezekiel 34:11–16
11 ‘For thus says the Lord GOD: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel.

OFFERING ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE TO GOD
TOPIC: Offering acceptable sacrifice
TEXT: PSALM 100: 3-4; Psalm 103:1; Romans 12:1-2
INTRODUCTION: God is LORD who made us and owns us. Passionately praising the Lord with all that is within us, is expected from every believer.
