THE GOD WHO REBUILDS: OUR GOD REIGNS – Dr. Thomas West | Sept. 13, 2026

The first sound in the Bible's great rebuilding story isn't a hammer or a prayer meeting. It's God quietly stirring the heart of a pagan king. As we begin a new season in Ezra and Nehemiah, we look at why these neglected books matter for a church that needs reviving, and it's a story about seasons of waning and rebuilding. Ezra 1 shows us three things about God. He keeps his promises on his own time; he stirs hearts for his purposes, and he restores what exile carried away. All of it points past the rebuilt temple to Jesus, the one who rebuilds ruined lives from the heart outward.
