God's Word declares that God's people are to be different. We are to be unique. We are not to act the same as the rest of the world. We are not to think the same or to value the same things as the rest of the world. But how do we do this and why does it even matter? Answering these questions gets to the heart of our understanding about what it means to be God's people. Who determines who are the people of God? Is it simply acting a certain way? Attending certain events and rituals? We are in a sermon series called "God at Work" where we are looking at the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Throughout these books we see that God is at work. As we look at Nehemiah Chapters 7 and 8 in a sermon called "A Peculiar People," we see that God's work shapes God's people. It is God's work, and only God's work, that makes us the people of God. We see that God's people are called by Him, shaped by Him through His Word, and are people who celebrate the amazing things God has done.

Listening to sermons online can be a great way to keep up with a sermon series if you are unable to attend church but should never be a substitute for regular attendance of a gospel-centered and bible teaching church.
