Series Synopsis
"Great is Thy Faithfulness," the classic Christian hymn, accurately represents the theme of the books of Ezra and Nehemiah (one book originally). In this series through Ezra-Nehemiah, Steve will examine the faithfulness of God as believers await Christ's coming kingdom. Telling the story of Israel's return from exile, Ezra-Nehemiah recounts God's faithful covenant love of His people even as they faced challenges, opponents, and ultimately their own inability to remain faithful themselves. Every message will contain some aspect of God's faithfulness for your encouragement and building of your own faith in the Lord.
