We’re back in the book of Ezra, walking with the exiles who answered the call to return to Jerusalem. For most of them, staying would have been easier. Just like the Jews in the Old Testament it’s easy to stay in our comfort zones, forgetting the privilege of sacrificing for God's call on our lives. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the high call of studying and obeying God’s word, living a life worthy of our call, and giving our all for Christ. And we’ll remember that nothing can be accomplished without the grace of God in our lives.
Episode Points
You can only obey what you know, and you can only teach what you’ve obeyed.
God’s call on your life will require sacrifice. But it’s worth it!
Since we’re called to handle holy things, we must live holy lives.
Your calling can only be accomplished by God’s grace.
