S2:231 Nehemiah 8 Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

Emma Dotter is joined today by Jeff Ward. His passion for the community and for hearts to be changed is heard in today’s podcast. Jeff challenges us that transformed hearts are what really transforms communities. If we don’t care about people’s eternity’s and hearts, then we are missing it. As believers, the work that we are doing really does matter to God, how are we living? Are we choosing to do “random acts of kindness” that are less random and more Spirit led? Serve the less fortunate out of joy!
Additional Scriptures used in the Podcast:
Matthew 5:16, “Let our light shine before others…”

S2:225 Ezra 9-10 Nov 17, 2023

Show notes

This may be a passage that can cause confusion to the believer, but today Emma Dotter is joined by Jaclyn West to unpack a deep conversation. This passage has a beautiful example of repentance with three takeaways: the people had high regard for the Word of God, they had recognition and sorrow for their sin, and they knew that true repentance of sin does cost us something.
Additional Passages of Scripture:
Deuteronomy 7 & Exodus 34:16, God does not want Israel taking the sons and daughters of other lands in marriage
2 Corinthians 6:14-18, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers”
Proverbs 20:12, “the hearing ear and the seeing eyes the Lord has made them both.”
2 Corinthians 7:10-11, “Godly grief produces repentance”
Luke 9:23, “Deny yourself, take up his cross and follow me.”
Proverbs 14:16, “A fool is reckless and careless.”
Acts 3:19-20, “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out…”
