"Temple work begins in earnest under directives of sacred prophesying/preaching from Haggai “my feast” (Haggai 1:1-12) and Zechariah “Yahweh remembers” (Zech.3:1-7; 4:6-9), and the secular intervention of Darius (6:1-12). The temple rebuilding is completed within five years."
"Some take-a ways to consider from Ezra 6:1-12."
1) "God’s Word, Scripture/Prophecy, is to be believed and obeyed, not deconstructed or apologized for; read and understood in a plain, literal, grammatical, historical method."
2) "Godly rebuilding outside begins with spiritual renewal inside."
3) "Opposing God, His plans, His promises, His people and His Word, is ultimately an exercise in futility for Christians or non-Christians."

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!
