The eighth chapter of Ezra reminds us that the journey of faith is never a solo mission. As God’s people set out for Jerusalem, the road ahead was long, dangerous, and uncertain—but they were never alone. God’s presence guided them, His hand protected them, and His people walked together in obedience and trust.
Ezra didn’t rely on soldiers or human strength; instead, he called the community to prayer and fasting, seeking God’s protection for the road ahead. And God answered—every person arrived safely, every offering was accounted for, and every step testified to His faithfulness.
Let’s turn our attention to Pastor Brian for this week’s sermon, entitled “Safely Home” from Ezra, chapter 8, verses 1 through 36.
