Give and Go

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical book of Ezra, focusing on the theme of "returning and rebuilding" after the Babylonian exile, with a specific emphasis on how God's hand moves through historical events. The message references key historical figures like Cyrus, who allowed the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, and draws parallels between biblical history and God's ongoing work in believers' lives today. The practical takeaway is that God's plans include each person's unique gifts, experiences, and resources, and that believers have both a "give" and a "go" role in advancing God's kingdom.
