In this message Pastor Jake examines Ezra 6:16-18 where the Jews (upon completing the temple) celebrate the Lord's goodness to them with great joy. Therefore, we examined the principle that if we desire reformation to take hold in our community, we must also learn to celebrate the Lord's goodness to us with joy as well. And in this text, we see two ways in which they do that:
1) sacrificing their best offerings to the Lord with thanksgiving, and
2) repenting of their sin
In these same ways, may we celebrate the Lord's goodness to us and therefore reform the land to Christlikeness, and bring much glory to God.
