Ezra 3:3, 5

The great need of our world is a spiritual awakening - WE NEED GOD! The Lord has brought the greatest spiritual breakthroughs at the darkest moments in history. This is the time for sincere believers to get serious about prayer. Let's open our Bibles to the book of Ezra now with Scott Pauley as we discover the principles of revival praying.

“Zerubbabel was an ordinary man called to an extraordinary task.” (Not By Might But By His Strength – Heidi Wysman). Has God called you to do something different, big, scary? Don’t worry! Heidi's series on the story of Zerubbabel can provide you with encouragement and peace as you learn how God calls and equips, how He leads us into new territory but provides and protects.

Picking up where 2 Chronicles ends, Ezra describes the return of exiles to Jerusalem and the eventual rebuilding of the temple. Using the influence of pagan kings and unbelieving rulers, God was faithful to bring his people back to the land and reestablish worship at the temple.

Men, this week, we will read about Israel's return to her homeland from exile by walking through the Book of Ezra, learning what God has to teach us from this incredible section of Scripture! Written by J.R. Hudberg.
