    Facing Opposition Series

     | 7,093 views

    When we do God's work, we can expect opposition. We don't have to be discouraged. God will finish what He has started.

    We started Ezra 1 with the move of God and the edict of King Cyrus, and the start of a long and difficult journey for the exiles returning back to Jerusalem. • In Ezra 2 we have the list of the returning exiles, by families and towns, and the various roles they play. • In Ezra 3 we saw the altar ...read more

     | 7,688 views

    God moves the remnant through Haggai and Zechariah to restart the rebuilding of the Temple of God. He assures and encourages them.

    The rebuilding of the Temple of God came to a halt, because of the harassment from the Samaritans and the pressure from the Persian officials. • And it stopped for 16 years, until the 2nd year of King Darius’ reign. With the Temple unbuilt, God was left out of their mind and their lives. • The ...read more

    We see the unfolding of God's will and the outworking of God's works in fulfilling His will. God raised Ezra, the man of God's Law, to bring about the next phrase of restoration - spiritual reformation and renewal.

    Finally, we have Ezra appearing in the book that bears his name. Chapter 7. • We ended chapter 6 with the completion and the dedication of the Temple of God, led by Zerubbabel and Jeshua, under the reign of Darius. • This was made possible because of the move of God (1) through the preaching ...read more

    See Ezra's prayer of confession. We acknowledge God's righteousness, submit to His judgement and agree with God concerning His view of sin. We trust in God's forgiving grace.

    Ezra 8 – Return to Jerusalem (from Babylon). Ezra returned with 4000 to 5000 people. Initially there weren’t any Levites among them and Ezra made an extra effort to gather them • He knew that he would need the Levites if he is going to teach the Law of God to the people.

     | 2,552 views

    Those who spend their efforts to destroy God’s work are fighting for a lost cause. God will Triumph. A little faith overcame opposition. Through faith the Israelites overcame apathy. There is so much we can do as Christians with the Holy Spirit through faith.

    For those of you who value preaching you will love these verses. It was the preaching of these, so called, “minor prophets” Haggai and Zechariah that the work flourished. The whole time, now under their preaching the people were working with diligence.

    Dealing With Disappointment

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 5,391 views

    We’ve all been disappointed at times in life. Disappointment can only happen if there is some kind of expectation. When that expectation is not met, disappointment occurs. Unlike discouragement, disappointment is not a sin. Even Jesus was disappointed at times with the disciples.

    Many have set out to accomplish great things, but have been disappointed in the outcome. It is said that Alexander the Great wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. Alexander was disappointed. Hugo Grotius, the father of modern international law, said, “I have accomplished nothing ...read more

    When we have setbacks we need to hear and cherish the voices that cry out, get on with God’s work. What God’s people need in this situation is the voice of encouragement.

    You may remember the dramatic scene from the movie Chariots of Fire. It is when Eric Liddell Falls in a race, gets up and goes on to win the race. Now that is an inspiration.
