(series: 7 of 20)

“Broken Grace”

Ezra 9:1-9 ESV

Sin breaks us, but God's grace renews us.

When we are in Christ, sin reminds us that…

(1) we live in _______ against Him

(2) we must live in _______ before Him

(3) we will live in _______ with Him

“1 After these things had been done, the officials approached me and said, “The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands with their abominations…9 For we are slaves. Yet our God has not forsaken us in our slavery, but has extended to us his steadfast love before the kings of Persia, to grant us some reviving to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us protection in Judea and Jerusalem.” [Ezra 9:1-9 ESV]
