1While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel, for the people wept bitterly.–Ezra 10

1. Ezra had been corporately confessing for the entire nation.
2. His confession involved his inside and also his outside.
3. His confession influenced a great many to also confess their sins.
4. Change only happened in my life when I took my sin seriously, pursued biblical counsel, and the accountability of other men.
5. We see the people here taking their sin seriously.
6. How does this need to be your story? Is there anything from point 4 above missing in your life?
7. Regarding your sin, how are you feeling convicted right now?–JMB
