Restoring Right Relations with God and Others
Scripture: Numbers 5:5-10
Speaker: Rev. Daniel Lee
Sermon

Living God-Centered lives means that…

- What have you done with Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross for your sin? What does His death mean to you and how will you live your life in light of the fact?
- Is there any guilt that you are holding onto from wrongs that you have done to others? Will you seek forgiveness and reconciliation with those you have wronged? If so, how and what are you willing to do to make amends?

sermon topic:
Return – A New Beginning
Scripture: Ezra 1:1-11
Speaker: Pastor Amy Ho
Sermon
Main points:
- A New Beginning after a long period of Disruption
- A New Passion after a long period of Discouragement
- 3. A New Challenge after a long period of Stability
Personal Reflection/Group Discussion Questions:
- Where in my life do I need a new beginning after a period of disruption?
- Just as God gave His people a fresh start after their exile, is there an area in my life where I feel stuck or discouraged that God might be calling me to restart with renewed faith?
- Has my spiritual life been rising or declining like the tide?
- The sermon highlights how spiritual life fluctuates over time. Have I been experiencing a season of spiritual passion, or have I become complacent and in need of renewal?
- Am I willing to step out of stability and comfort to follow God’s call?
- Many exiles chose to remain in Babylon rather than return to Jerusalem. Am I holding onto a comfortable but spiritually stagnant life when God might be calling me into something new and uncertain?
