This week out of Ezra 4:6-24 in our "Restoration" series, we have "Letters of Opposition"
The Jews of that time had continual opposition from their Persian captors with regards to rebuilding their temple and the city of Jerusalem but "Despite the attempts of adversaries, God's plan to restore worship was unstoppable."
We learn that some of the opposition came from those that were concerned they'd lose money. "Money is always a way to grab someone's attention!"
As christians, "The gospel must be the driving force of every decision we make."

"Restoration: Repentance and Grace"
May 16, 2021 • Pastor Herb Hartso III
Pastor Herb's final sermon in the Book of Ezra- "Repentance and Grace | Ezra 10:1-44. Here is the outline of Ezra 10. Path to the Finish Line: 1) Shecaniah's Encouragement (verses 1-4) 2) Ezra's Leadership (verses 5- 17) 3) Picture of Grace (verses 18-44) A couple of great lessons from this sermon. "When we are stuck in sin, there is always hope." "Repentance involves both confession and obedience" (verses 10-12)
"Ezra On His Knees"
May 9, 2021 • Pastor Herb Hartso III
This message brings us Ezra, on his knees because of discovering the sins of the Exiles, intermarrying with those that worship idols and not the Lord, the God of Israel. Pastor Herb cites scriptures, both in the Old testament and the New testament, walking us through God's design for marriage. To join with another of equal faith in Jesus Christ our Lord!
