Jehovah Jireh means “The Lord Will Provide,” and Genesis 22 shows us exactly what that looks like. Through Abraham’s obedience and God’s timely intervention, we’re reminded that God provides guidance, courage, and solutions even when the path feels unbearable. Ultimately, this story points us to Jesus — the greatest provision of all.

In this Advent message, we explore Jehovah Shalom — The LORD Is Peace — through Gideon’s encounter with God in Judges 6. True peace, Scripture reveals, is more than the absence of conflict; it is the presence of God bringing wholeness and security to our lives. As we look to Jesus, the Prince of Peace, we’re invited to receive a peace that steadies our hearts even in uncertain seasons.

This Advent, we begin our series He Shall Be Called by exploring one of God’s most comforting names: El Roi—the God Who Sees. In Hagar’s story from Genesis 16, we meet a God who seeks out the hurting, hears their affliction, and responds with compassion. This message reminds us that no matter how unseen or overwhelmed we may feel, God’s gaze is fixed on us with love and care.

“Challenge Accepted” traces Nehemiah’s journey from hearing about Jerusalem’s broken walls to leading God’s people in rebuilding and renewal. Through his example, we learn how to face the challenges in our own lives by praying boldly, planning wisely, and persevering courageously in the strength God provides. Whether you’re rebuilding something broken or stepping into a new calling, this message invites you to see your life as part of God’s great work—and to refuse to “come down” from what He’s given you to do.

“Own It!” closes our journey through Ezra with a powerful call to honest confession and costly repentance. As God exposes the people’s compromise in Ezra 9–10, they respond not with excuses but with grief, humility, and decisive action to return to Him. This message invites us to do the same—naming our sin, letting God’s grace lead us to change, and renewing our commitment to live under His Word.

Ezra 8 tells the story of God’s people preparing to return home and the faithful steps they took along the way. In this message, we explore what it looks like to rediscover calling, seek God’s provision, steward what He entrusts to us, and respond with worship. Their journey becomes a guide for any season of beginning again or trusting God for what’s next.

Ezra’s story reminds us that true significance isn’t achieved through ambition but through faithfulness. As Ezra set his heart to study, live, and teach God’s Word, God equipped, aligned, and propelled him into a journey of lasting impact. Discover how faithfulness today can prepare you for God’s purpose tomorrow.

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 God’s people stop building, His purpose doesn’t stop calling. In Ezra 5, the Israelites are stirred once again to rebuild God’s temple — and to rediscover the power of obedience, endurance, and truth. God is still calling us to get back to work, trusting that His eye is on us and His Spirit is with us every step of the way.

Opposition, pressure, and delay can tempt any believer to give up — but God calls us to stay the course. In this message from Ezra 4, Pastor Jeff McNicol shows how God’s people refused compromise, endured under pressure, and trusted His timing through long seasons of waiting. Their story reminds us that God’s purposes never stall, even when ours do.

In Faith Foundations (Ezra 3:7–13), we see Israel begin rebuilding the temple’s foundation and rediscover the foundations of their faith. Pastor Jeff reminds us that God always completes what He begins, that praise is right no matter what’s left unfinished, and that the past should inspire—not limit—the future. When we trust God in the process, even small beginnings become sacred.

In First Things First (Ezra 3:1–6), Pastor Jeff reminds us that true restoration begins with worship, not work. As the Israelites rebuilt their lives after exile, their first step was to reestablish the altar and gather in unity. This message invites us to prioritize God’s presence, engage in community, and embrace the steady rhythms of a faithful life.
