- Ezra Part 9 - Sin And Response (Ezra 9:1-15) (Richard McConnell)
Can you remember a time when studying the bible provoked you? Less than half a year in, we read that reform was stirring in the leaders as Ezra redirected them to God's laws. Central to this reform was understanding sin's destructiveness and God's character. Will we learn about sin and respond to God's gracious move towards us? Listen in!
25 min - Ezra Part 8 - Blessings From God's Good Hand (Ezra 8:1-36) (Richard McConnell)
In this message, tracing the good hand of God on his people as Ezra led his reform movement, we must let ourselves comprehend the bonanza of the good hand of God on us through Jesus Christ! And listen out for the way in which Ezra seeks after God. His approach to God says a lot.
23 min - Ezra Part 7 - How Will All The Restoration Get Done? (Ezra 7:11-28) (Richard McConnell)
How will all this work of restoration get done? Listen to how this second part of the book of Ezra (from Chapter 7) repeats God’s definitive answer to this question in Ezra’s day.
22 min - Ezra Part 6 - Time To Enrol: God Sends Ezra Calling People To Life By His Word (Ezra 7:1-10) (Richard McConnell)
As we explore the context of Ezra’s life and work among the people of God, and importantly the way he foreshadows Christ, there is a very direct challenge being issued to us too. Listen in.
29 min - Out of the Depths (Psalm 130) (Norman Reid)
Listen to this song from the book of Psalms. A cry to the Lord leads to an amazing gift of redemption.
28 min - Death to Life! (Ephesians 2:1-10) (Richard McConnell)
The state of humanity may be “significantly more alarming” than you ever realised. What exactly is the biblical diagnosis? After his report on this, Paul explains how some extraordinary intervention has potential to bring people from death to life. Listen to find out more.
16 min - Ezra Part 5 - The Rebuilding Restarts (Ezra 5:1-6:12) (Richard McConnell)
The writer of Ezra suddenly brings us from over a decade of paralysis to a new beginning, a rebuilding restart. How does this restart come about? Listen in to hear how restarts in God's work begin, how they are sustained and how they are resourced.
27 min - Ezra Part 4 - When The Rebuilding Work Stops (Ezra 4:1-24) (Richard McConnell)God’s work is always opposed. We’ll be looking closely at some of the history of that opposition in this time of rebuilding the temple, Ezra 4. The writer seems to want us to realise that this was no blip in history. God’s work will always face opposition. We aren’t supposed to minimise it, but to study it closely. Listen too for the echoes of the opposition faced by Jesus Christ.26 min
- Ezra Part 3 - First Things First (Ezra 3:1-13) (Chris McGuire)Reading Ezra 3, we are struck with the priority of the people: they build an altar before they build a temple. But why? In this message you will see God's people recognising their greatest need and the Bible's unmistakable signposting towards God's ultimate solution to the human sin problem: Jesus Christ.27 min
- Ezra Part 2 - People With Clear Priorities (Ezra 2:1-70) (Richard McConnell)
The historian in me has always been really fascinated by lists of people. But what about the lists of people and places in Ezra 2? I hope we’ll see from Ezra Chapter 2 that it is well worth taking the time to read through them. Here are all the people who obeyed God. People who wanted to get things right where God and worship are concerned. This list is important because these are the people who said count me in. These people with their clear priorities should have an impact on us too. Listen in.

About Sunday Talks
From the publisher's feed
We are a local church in Dublin that meets regularly to read the bible as we follow Jesus Christ. For many of us, hearing the Bible’s message explained helped us to understand who Jesus is, his…
mission and his relevance. These messages are expository. They were prepared to faithfully explain and apply what the Bible says. We hope that as you listen, you too will hear the message of God's Word and the prompt to respond by following the Lord Jesus Christ.
