Join us this Sunday for the second installment of our Forgotten Books of the Bible series as we explore the often-overlooked book of Ezra. Set in the aftermath of exile and devastation, Ezra tells the story of a people returning home to find that everything has changed. As they rebuild their city, their temple, and their community, they wrestle with questions that still resonate today: How do we find our identity after loss? How do we hold grief and hope at the same time? And how do we move forward faithfully when we can’t go back to the way things were?
Through this powerful story of restoration, we’ll reflect on the difference between healthy remembrance and dangerous nostalgia and discover how God meets us in seasons of rebuilding. Whether you are navigating personal change, recovering from disappointment, or simply seeking hope for the future, Ezra reminds us that faith is not about returning to the past—it is about trusting God to help us build what comes next.
