That first sermon led to the salvation of about 3000 souls. Let’s put ourselves into the shoes of the people hearing this first ...read more

    The first two chapters of Ezra tells us that the exiled people returned to the promised land. But something even more important is taking place. The Lord’s people are returning to God. Now unity among the remnant group is essential.

When threatened, they “circle the wagons” and array themselves with their young in the middle and their sharp horns facing outward ...read more

And ours. e.g. At a United States Army post in the desert of Kuwait, Protestant Chaplain (Major) Barbara ...read more
