In The Finishing Touch, Pastor Jeff McNicol walks through Ezra 6 to show how God completes what He begins. Through the rebuilding of the temple, we’re reminded to trust God’s process, faithfully do our part, and celebrate with joy as He works all things together for His glory. Even when life feels unfinished, God’s plan is still developing—and His promises never fail.

When trials come—and they will—James challenges us to count them as joy, not because they are easy, but because they grow us into steadfast, mature followers of Christ. Rather than running from hardship, we are called to lean into it and discover God’s transforming work in our lives. This sermon invites us to see trials as opportunities for spiritual growth and completeness.
