The Path to Renewal
Lessons From Ezra- Nehemiah
The central themes of restoration, rebuilding, leadership, and faithfulness that fill the pages of the historical books of Ezra and Nehemiah in the Old Testament, will be common themes throughout our summer series, The Path To Renewal: Lessons from Ezra-Nehemiah. We will discover that God continues to invite His people into a deeper understanding of His work in times of renewal.
We are including Ezra and Nehemiah in one sermon series because while they are two separate books in modern bibles, Ezra-Nehemiah was originally one unified work by a singular author and overlapping timeline.

Rise Up & Build | Chilliwack Campus | The Path to Renewal
Nehemiah 2:1-20
We all want God to do something meaningful with our lives and the waiting is often the most difficult part. But what are you doing during the “in-between” time? Do you sit back after you pray for it once? Or do you constantly bring your requests before God trusting in faith that He will answer in His timing? Frequent prayer will prepare you for that moment when God answers because prayer doesn’t change God, it changes you.

Hebrews 10:23-25
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

What is God Doing? | Chilliwack Campus | The Path to Renewal
Nehemiah 1
The world is sick. We all experience it in different ways - broken families, life-threatening sicknesses, poverty and addiction. What is the good God of the Bible doing about all of this? In Nehemiah 1, we get the next scene in the Big Story of the Bible - a story which shows how God is slowly and lovingly healing the world through his chosen people. And because of what his son, Jesus, has done, you can also be healed, forgiven, and become part of this story.

Repentance that Revives | Harrison Campus | The Path to Renewal
Ezra 9
There is great power in repentance as we turn from our sin and turn to Christ. This text presents us with a beautiful demonstration of repentance from the priest Ezra, who repents not even for his own sin, but for the sin of the people! This text graciously communicates that real repentance can lead to revival only because of the steadfast love of God.

From Guilt to Grace: The Path of Repentance | Agassiz Campus | The Path to Renewal
Ezra 9
Sin is the insidious enemy of the believer. It is readily embraced, and often subtly engaged. Too often believers treat sin as a mere inconvenience, or trivial matter. This passage challenges us to deal swiftly, and seriously with sin. The Godly Reaction to Sin is to Recognize it from Scripture, to mourn over it, and to confess it without excuse to the God of Mercy!
