Scripture at Sunrise 05.17.2021

“For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylonia, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, for the good hand of his God was on him. For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel.” -Ezra 7:9-10

“How can you know God’s hand is on your life? Study the Word. Obey the Word. Seek to share the Word. Live according to the Word, not striving to satisfy God, but letting His life flow through you.” -Pastor Steve Wainright (excerpt from Sunday Evening Sermon “Experiencing God’s Hand” from Ezra 7)

Scripture at Sunrise 8.12.2013

He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.” -Luke 13:18-19

You might not see your witness being effective, but don’t get weary in well-doing. Continue. Plant the Word wherever you go. Don’t keep that seed to yourself. When the Word is sown, it produces big results.
