In this sermon, pastor John walks us through the actions presented by the people before Ezra and Nehemiah that mark a return to the heart of worship. Before you and I can truly rejoice in the Lord, with the Lord, God has to "clear the air" between us and our rebellion and with Him and His righteousness. Once this takes place, we can celebrate from the depths of our soul the fact that our sins have been forgiven by the blood of Jesus.
