ReAwakened: When God Stirs Hearts // Ezra 1:1-5

This Sunday, we launch our summer series, ReNew, a journey through the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. After decades in exile, Israel returns not just to their land, but to the wreckage of what once was: a ruined temple, broken walls, and a fractured identity. But God is not finished. This is a story of return, restoration, and renewal, and it all begins with a stirring. God stirs the hearts of both a pagan king and a faithful remnant to begin rebuilding. Renewal always starts with God moving beneath the surface, disrupting our comfort, and inviting us into His redemptive work.
