    If there had only been an Ezra, only part of the job would have gotten done. If there had only been a Nehemiah, only part of the job would have gotten done. God needed both men to accomplish the goal.

He moved the heart of Cyrus, king of Persia, to allow the Jews to return home. The Exiles returned to Judea in 3 separate waves over a ...read more

    Problems come. It's part of life. What are some general principles we need to follow when they do? We look at one of the greatest problems / difficulties / challenges in the history of God's people - the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Babylonians and the exile - for lessons.

    Everyone faces problems from time to time. Churches also face problems. For example, a church might unexpectedly lose its pastor and some other key members of its leadership at around the same time. If that happened, how would you view it? Perhaps some of you would say that it’s a CHALLENGE, ...read more

    I remember at the beginning of the year feeling that, feeling that so intently. I want to show you what I shared at the beginning of this year, and then maybe you will see the topic in our series I am going to talk about today:

    Let us be honest: this year was also a challenging year for some if not all of us. We lost loved ones, and businesses changed. Loadshedding and the ripple effect it has. Fires destroying homes and family members not speaking to each other. Job losses, to mention a few. I remember at the beginning ...read more
