God doesn't just want to rebuild what's broken around us—He wants to renew what's broken within us!
In Part 6 of our RETURN. REBUILD. RENEW. series, we turn to Ezra 7 and discover that rebuilding the temple was only part of God's plan. God wanted to rebuild His people, too. Through Ezra's example, we learn that genuine spiritual renewal begins when we seek God's Word, submit to God's Word, and share God's Word.
Ezra 7:10 gives us a powerful pattern for living a life that honors God: SEEK IT. DO IT. TEACH IT.
In this message, we'll explore three essential steps toward spiritual renewal:
1. SEEK THE WORD — Develop a hunger for God's truth and prepare your heart to seek Him.
2. SUBMIT TO THE WORD — Move beyond simply hearing Scripture and put God's Word into practice.
3. SHARE THE WORD — Allow what God is doing in you to influence and encourage others.
We'll also look at Ezra 8 and see how God's people sought Him through prayer and fasting before beginning their journey. Prayer wasn't their last resort—it was their preparation.
The goal of spiritual renewal isn't simply to know more about the Bible. It's to know Christ, become more like Him, and allow His Word to transform every area of our lives.
If this message encourages you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded that God is still working in us and through us. Like the video, subscribe to the channel, and join us as we continue to grow in God's Word.
RETURN. REBUILD. RENEW.
Seek the Word. Submit to the Word. Share the Word.
God isn't finished rebuilding us!

What do you do when you’re doing what God called you to do—and opposition shows up?

In Ezra 4, God’s people had returned to Jerusalem, begun rebuilding the temple, restored their worship, and laid the foundation. Then the adversaries came. Their tactics changed, but their objective remained the same: stop the work.

In this message, we look at how God’s people can respond when opposition comes:
1. DON’T BE DECEIVED — Recognize the Disguise
2. DON’T BE DISCOURAGED — Reject the Discouragement
3. DON’T BE DEFEATED — Refuse to Lose

We’ll learn how to recognize opposition that may come disguised as cooperation, distinguish between consequences, adversity, correction, and genuine opposition, and learn to fight spiritual battles without responding in the flesh.

Most importantly, Ezra 4 reminds us: “The work stopped—but God didn’t.”

A temporary setback does not have to become a permanent surrender. When God speaks again, His people can rise again, build again, and trust Him again.

SORROWFUL YET REJOICING | RETURN.REBUILD.RENEW | PART 4 | EZRA 3:7-13
https://youtu.be/yti-xwuQaA4

What happens when you’re thankful for what God is doing, but still hurting over what you’ve lost?

In Ezra 3, the foundation of the temple is finally laid after 70 years of exile. There should have been nothing but celebration—but the people responded with both shouting and weeping. Some remembered what had been lost, while others celebrated what God was beginning to build.

This powerful passage reminds us that genuine faith makes room for both sorrow and rejoicing.
In this message, we discover:
1. Godly Sorrow Grieves What Once Was
2. Grateful Rejoicing Celebrates What Now Is
3. Genuine Faith Makes Room for Both

You don't have to pretend the past didn't hurt. And you don't have to let the pain of the past keep you from celebrating what God is doing today.

The foundation may not be finished—but God has started something.

And ultimately, our hope is found in Jesus, who reminds us that sorrow will not have the final word.

Before the people of Israel could rebuild the Temple, they first had to rebuild the altar.

In this message from Ezra 3:1–6, we discover that before we rebuild what is broken around us, we must restore what is missing within us. The people gathered together as one, rebuilt the altar, and worshiped God—even though the Temple foundation had not yet been laid and fear surrounded them.

This passage challenges us to consider three foundational priorities:
- We Must Restore Unity
- We Must Restore the Altar
- We Must Restore Worship

The people of Ezra understood that rebuilding wasn't ultimately about a building. It was about restoring their relationship with God.
And the same is true for us.

We can have buildings, programs, ministries, activities, and full seats—but without prayer, worship, and dependence upon God, we can build something that looks like a church without being the church God has called us to be.

The good news of the Gospel is that the sacrifices offered at the altar pointed forward to Jesus Christ, the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. The altar says a sacrifice is required. The cross says the sacrifice has been made.

So wherever you are today—hurting, afraid, disappointed, or waiting—don't wait for everything to be right before you worship.
Restore the unity.
Restore the altar.
Restore the worship.

Because before God rebuilds everything around us, He wants to rebuild us.

Before the people of Israel could rebuild the Temple, they first ha...

What do you do when God gives you an opportunity to rebuild? Ezra 2 may look like little more than a long list of names, families, priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, and temple servants. But behind every name is a person who chose to return and become part of what God was doing.

In this second message of our journey through Ezra, we discover that God's work is accomplished through people who are willing to get involved, remain faithful, and find their place in the work.

In this message, we consider three challenges:
• Don't just be interested—get invested.
• Don't turn back—stay on track.
• Don't just take up space--find your place

The people of Ezra 2 remind us that God doesn't just call us to watch what He is doing. He calls us to belong, participate, persevere, and serve.

And the good news of the Gospel is that Jesus doesn't simply call us home—He gives us a place in His family and a part in His work.

If you've become discouraged, drifted away, or wondered whether you still have a place, Ezra 2 offers a powerful reminder: Come home. Stay faithful. Find your place.

Return. Rebuild. Renew. — Finding Hope in the Book of Ezra

What happens when God's people find themselves in a broken place? What happens when it seems like something has been lost for too long to ever be restored?

This morning we begin a new journey through the book of Ezra with a simple but powerful truth: God is still working, even when we cannot see what He is doing.

In Ezra 1, God stirs the heart of Cyrus, king of Persia, and then stirs the hearts of His people to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. Their circumstances may have looked hopeless, but God was not finished.

In this first message, "God Still Stirs Hearts," we will see that:

God is still working when it looks like nothing is happening.
God can move people we never expected Him to move.
When God stirs our hearts, we have to respond.
God's new work often begins with a step of faith.

As we begin Return. Rebuild. Renew., our prayer is that God would use the story of Ezra to remind us that where there is a God who is still working, there is still hope.

FAITH WORTH FIGHTING FOR
CONTEND SERIES | PART 1
JUDE 1-16
08.09.26 | 10AM
The book of Jude opens with a change of plans. Jude sat down to write a letter celebrating "our common salvation" — but the Spirit redirected him. Wolves had already crept into the church, unnoticed. In this message, we look at what it means to "contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3) — tracing three case files from Israel's history, three portraits of false teaching, and an ancient prophecy that reminds us nothing about apostasy surprises God. Discernment isn't unloving — it's how we guard what's worth guarding.
