His audience, Jewish Christians, is in the midst of social conflict in which they are seeking worldly advice instead of pursuing God's way. James' letter should inspire Christians today to seek divine wisdom in all situations while translating one's faith...

The Israelites are returning to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple. In many ways, this story resembles the life of a Christian who repents from sin and rebellion and turns around to find God welcoming them into His unfailing love. The Book of Ezra is a record of hope for those who are weighed down with discouragement. No sin is too big for God's grace.

The gospel is counterintuitive to humans. We are used to earning almost everything in our lives. In the book of Romans, Paul makes it clear that we cannot earn our way to God, in fact, even the "good" deeds we do are like filthy rags before the Lord. Listen to Paul as he teaches us that we are more sinful than we could every imagine, but also more loved than we could ever imagine.
