The Law and the Wall (Introduction to Ezra and Nehemiah) - Bible Love Podcast

Today we're joined again by the Rev. Dr. Tony Hopkins! Dr. Tony helps walk us through Ezra and Nehemiah. We talk about community, covenant, and inclusion. Questions for reflection this week: - Do I believe that God really cares about the circumstances of my life, and do I trust more in God than in my own abilities and efforts? - If my pastor asked me to publicly come to the altar and sign a pledge of faithfulness and obedience, how would I feel and what would I do? - Where is my/our zeal for God creating a blind spot in my/our caring for God's people? (Where is my/our concern for the first Great Commandment creating neglect of the second Great Commandment?) Links mentioned in today's episode: - The Rev.
