Ezra - Back in the Saddle
from The First Stream Podcast Hosted by michaelwp9
What happens when the life God called us to build seems to fall completely apart? We find ourselves in a standstill, not hopeless exactly, but haunted by the feeling that there is something more. The story of the exiles in Ezra captures this tension with remarkable honesty. Called by God, equipped with purpose and provision, they nonetheless walked away from the work and settled into the comfortable rhythms of ordinary life. And yet God did not abandon them in that stillness. He spoke into it. He sent prophets with words that reignited something buried deep inside a discouraged people. This sermon reminds us that the standstill is not wasted time. God is working beneath the surface.
