Longing for the Future or Paralyzed by the Past?




Grace Bible Church Sermons show

Summary: Speaker: Brian Fisher Scripture: Ezra 3 Series: Ezra, Haggai, Nehemiah, Malachi Series Order: 03 The people of Israel waste no time in building the altar, as sacrifice is central to communion with God. They enter quickly into the annual cycle of commanded worship, going beyond what is prescribed with their freewill offerings. And as soon as it is practical they lay the foundation of the Temple, signaling a glorious future for the worship of the Lord. Nevertheless, some linger behind, paralyzed by regret over the consequences of past failure, missing out on the celebration of the faithfulness of the Lord. How about you? Are you longing for the future or paralyzed by the past? PowerPoint Slides and notes available at www.grace-bible.org
