Renew Your Commitment | Summer in the Story: Ezra

Renew Your Commitment | Summer in the Story: Ezra

Don't Stop Building | Summer in the Story

Resistance isn't a sign you've missed God's will—it's often confirmation you're right where He wants you. The Israelites faced 15+ years of opposition while rebuilding the temple, but God's sovereignty was working behind the scenes the entire time. Whether it's your prayer life, your marriage, your ministry, or your obedience to God's call—if it matters, resistance will come.

The Altar Comes First | Summer in the Story

Before the Israelites laid a single stone to rebuild the temple, they did something else first—they rebuilt the altar. They worshiped, sacrificed, prayed, and gave offerings before the construction even began. In this message, Pastor Mark unpacks Ezra 3 and reveals a life-changing principle: the altar must always come before the foundation. Whether it's a decision you're facing, a dream you're pursuing, or a challenge in your home or church—what you do first determines everything that follows.

Faith over Fear | Faithful in the Fire

What happens when obedience to God puts you at odds with the culture around you? Will fear shape your decisions—or will faith? In this powerful conclusion to our Daniel series, we explore the most famous story from Daniel's life: the lion's den. But this isn't really about lions. It's about what happens when faithfulness becomes costly, when following Jesus means standing out, and when the world tries to silence your faith rather than destroy it.PickNaz Church exists to live like Jesus, love like Jesus, and lead people to Jesus.

Return to what Matters | Summer in the Story

Just as summer is a time to reset, refocus, and recharge, the Book of Ezra invites us into a spiritual rebuilding project. Through the story of exiles returning home, rebuilding the temple, and renewing their covenant with God, we are reminded that God is always working to restore what’s broken and refresh what’s grown weary.
