Stirring Our Hearts | Origins | Jeff Griffin (Full Service)

This weekend Jeff is back from his study break and kicking off a new series, Origins! We will be looking at a book of the Bible called Ezra and be inspired to listen when God stirs our hearts to pursue great things in His name!

The first steps in any process can set the trajectory for success or failure. Discovering how great things got started is a fascinating experience. In our new series, “Origins,” we will learn how the famous temple in Jerusalem was rebuilt and how those critical first steps can inspire us to start well and accomplish great things.

Let us know you're here! If you have a need or prayer request we can support you: thecompass.net/connectioncard

Ezra 1:1-6 (NIV)
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:

“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:
“‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them. And in any locality where survivors may now be living, the people are to provide them with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.’”

Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had moved—prepared to go up and build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem. All their neighbors assisted them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuable gifts, in addition to all the freewill offerings.
