Ezra: Strength in Numbers

Bekki Fahrer discusses how the process of rebuilding our faith isn't complete until the community we are a part of reclaims God's promises. Rebuilding can't happen alone, but within authentic community. 

Ezra: The Prophets and the Promise

Pastor Angela talks about the ability to see the temple when there are ruins surrounding us.

Ezra: Preparing for Opposition

Pastor Jessica discusses the reality of opposition from the enemy. When we're rebuilding around God's promises, there is always risk of the enemy opposing the good work we're doing. By discussing the opposition the Jews faced in Ezra 4, we learn how to be prepared for opposition in our daily lives.

Ezra: Beginning at the Altar

Pastor Richard discusses Ezra 3 and how the process of rebuilding must start at the altar. In order to reclaim God’s promises over our lives, we must first commit to worship and seeking relationship with God above all else.

Ezra: God’s Promises Revealed

Pastor Jessica kicks off our series on Ezra and the promises from God in Scripture for when people are in the process of rebuilding. She dives into the book of Ezra, where the Jewish people reclaimed God's promises for their life as he brought them out of exile and back into a faith-filled temple and faith-filled community. 

Silent Sermons: Shame

Pastor Angela finishes up our series on Silent Sermons by discussing the narrative of shame that we preach to ourselves. By choosing to expose our shame, replace it with truth, and repeat, we can walk confidently in our God-given identity of God's unconditional love. 

Silent Sermons: Low Self-Worth

Bekki Fahrer shares how the silent sermon of low self-worth can hold us captive and be reinforced by society, the church, and well-meaning individuals. By dissecting the Greek and Hebrew narratives around identity in scripture, she directs us to understand the worth and belovedness we have in Christ.

 

Silent Sermons: Fear

Pastor Jessica discussed the silent sermon of fear and how we can overcome this dominant voice in our life by identifying the source, surrounding ourselves with biblical truths, and redirecting our attention toward worship.
