Give and Go (Part 2)

Summary

In this sermon about the book of Ezra, the pastor explores the theme of being a "Difference Maker" by examining the return of Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem and their commitment to rebuilding the temple. Using the metaphor of a family registry and referencing Ezra chapter 2, the message highlights how community leaders like Zerubbabel and Jeshua led 42,360 people back to their homeland, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing collective mission over individual interests. The practical takeaway is that true difference-makers put "we above me" and are willing to give resources and go where God calls them, demonstrating a spirit of unity, restoration, and shared purpose.
