Word and Transformation

December 3, 2023 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • Nehemiah 8

Give

Nehemiah now joins Ezra in leading the people of God toward restoration; and his account of revival connected to the Word of God is a recipe for facing the cultural challenges of the church in our own generation.

Conviction and Repentance

November 26, 2023 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • Ezra 9, Ezra 10:1–3

The final events of Ezra are sad, but hopeful. Despite the lessons of the exile, God’s people failed to give attention to the most basic requirements of His expectations. What can be done to recover? Then and now, the answer is the same…conviction and repentance.

Protection and Leadership

November 12, 2023 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • Ezra 8:15–23, Ezra 8:31–32

The proper strategy for facing challenges is different for believers than for the world. Rather than being left to our own abilities, our victories result from a commitment that shapes all of life around the reality of the Sovereign God. Preparation BEFORE battle is the key!

Provision and Resolve

October 29, 2023 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • Ezra 7:27, Ezra 7:28, Ezra 7:6–10

Sixty years passed from the stirring preaching of Haggai and Zechariah until the arrival of the second wave of returnees. The Temple is now built, but the people desperately need encouragement. Enter Ezra—a scribe descended from Aaron, he arrives to nurture the community in the ways and Word of God. Likewise, we must see the spiritual realities behind our circumstances.
