(Nehemiah 12-13) What is the anchor of our hope? In this sermon, Pastor Adam Mabry explores Nehemiah 12-13, and discusses how the unraveling of the temple, biblical obedience, and civil order point to a truer, more firm foundation of our hope.

(Ezra 9) The topic of holiness has fallen on hard times. Yet, while it may not be popular with us, holiness is something about which God cares deeply. In this sermon, Pastor Adam Mabry explains why holiness mattered for the returning exiles, and why it matters for us.

(Ezra 3-5, Haggai 1) When met with adversity, the Israelites abandon the work of rebuilding the temple. In this sermon, Pastor Adam explains that all God's people are called to be temple builders. Adversity will try to keep us from the work of God, but God gives us everything we need to persevere in the work.
