Episode 97: Let This Mind Be In You

The prophet Zechariah was a contemporary of Haggai under Governor Zerubbabel.  Both prophets were commissioned by God to rouse the scattered, returning Israelites to rebuild the temple. While Haggai's focus was more on calling out the sins of the people, the indifference to the temple, etc., Zechariah was more focused on calling the people to repentance. 

Zechariah wanted the people to know who they were, to understand who God is, to know what they believe - not because of custom, but because of a working knowledge of the Scriptures.  Even more, Zechariah wanted the people to understand how they were individually viewed in God's eyes - were they indifferent, hypocrites, or faithful?  

The questions that Zechariah asked of the people apply to us today.  Who are we? What do we believe? Why do we believe it? And how does God see us with regard to our worship of Him? And the path of repentance and sanctification he laid out is still as relevant today as it was back then.

Join Pastor Jason as he helps us understand how the writings and visions of this prophet apply to us today, and how we can ask the questions of ourselves to gauge where we are in our walk of faith.
