When obedience to God's mission provokes opposition, it's easy to want to quit. But the story of Ezra reminds us that God specializes in transforming enemies into allies, and that's where true joy is found.
From the comeback crew rebuilding the temple to a Pearl Harbor pilot turned missionary, this sermon traces how God changes hearts, rekindles joy through obedience, and calls us back to the mission of making disciples. If you've lost your joy, return to what God has asked you to do.
