Way too often we think of the Bible as if it were God’s purpose to kill our joy and destroy our freedom but that is a terrible way to look at it! It shows us how to stay safe - it protects us from straying outside His will, and it establishes boundaries for our thinking, feeling, and doing. What part is His Word playing in your life? In this podcast, Pastor Steve will look at how everything that the returning exiles have been doing so far has been according to the commands of God in His Word. The feasts, the sacrifices, use of the vessels, and even their priestly garments all find their origin in the Word of the Lord. When they acted, their methods were based on the Word of the Lord and they were united in this!

In Ezra 3:8-13, we can see how the Word shows them where to go, what to pay attention to, and how to follow God’s commands.
