Peggy Diaz (at right) Gets Restored!

God wants disciples to settle and come together “as one man,” despite any fears.

Ezra 3:1-6
- Despite their fear of people around them, God’s people worshipped according to his word.
- Feast of Tabernacles: They lived in booths for a week long. Remembered how God has taken them from the desert and into the promised land. Take time to remember where God has taken you from. And where he can take you.

What can become real for you today about the cross? We need to deal with forgiveness on a daily basis. If you don’t forgive, you will be anxious. Let go of the hurt. Don’t dwell on the injustice against you. Are you at peace with your close relationships? People can hurt you, yet as disciples, we need to learn to forgive. Does God have to bring you to your knees to get you to forgive?

Jeremy Mandley (center) Is Baptized!

The nation recently celebrated Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday and we can all remember the line from his famous speach: “I have a dream.” Do you have a dream today? In his speach, Martin Luther also said that if you don’t have anything worth dying for in your life, than you don’t really have anything worth living for.
