Conversation seven in the Unfinished Hope series is the last in the book of Ezra, entitled Hope for Holiness. Historically, this particular passage is a difficult one that has often been misused to focus on intermarriage. Pastor Monty said the real problem here was the sin of idolatry. It is God's hope, especially in marriage, that we lead lives that honor Him and when we are aware of sin, having the courage to seek God's forgiveness.

Conversation 12: Hope
July 8, 2018 • Rev. Monty C. Wright
Conversation 12 is about hope and how the children of Israel were desiring to be realigned with God. Part of this realignment is a heart change that they were yearning for, and Pastor Monty leads us through their prayer of confession from Nehemiah chapter 9, then concludes with what they were called to do follow the Lord so they could break free from what was holding them back in their culture. This message is a timely one for today, and to hear more, listen to conversation 12 Hope.
