SERMON OUTLINE:
1: The work we are called to will bring opposition (Ezra 5:1-4).
2: Our work should continue because God is sovereign (Ezra 5:5-17).
3: God’s sovereignty means we will sometimes see surprising results (Ezra 6:1-12).
4: Those surprising results should fuel our joy (Ezra 6:13-22). 

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  • How would you answer the question, “What are you working for?” (i.e. What is your life’s purpose?) Where do you need to repent? Where are you feeling encouraged?
