Repentance & Renewal
Ezra 9-10
These chapters are marked with Ezra calling the people to deep confession of their sin--specifically intermarrying with surrounding nations and breaking covenant with God. There’s a big focus on God’s holiness and the people’s unfaithfulness that he leans into in these chapters as he calls the people to repentance and renewal of their dedication to the covenant with God. These chapters really show the power of confession, holding one another accountable and fully returning to God with our whole hearts.
Connection Card Points:
1. I am committed to repentance this week. I will ask God to mend my heart and help me to root out the sin I am giving into right now.
2. I will meditate this week on the holiness of God and ask Him to renew my heart with honor for His name.
3. I will confess my sin to my discipler/life group this week and ask for accountability to honor God with my whole life.
