September 17, 2023 | Kolburt Schultz
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- When your loves become dis-ordered, what is it that typically takes the place of God as your primary love?
- If God really is sovereign and faithful, as Ezra says He is, how does that impact your day to day living?
- In light of these themes, what do you hope the Spirit stirs in your heart as we study Ezra-Nehemiah over the next few months?
