To change from the inside out. There’s this...

Sermon Title: Plot Twist Sermon Series: Rebuilt Passage: Ezra 5-6:12 Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: March 8, 2026 You think you know how it’s going to end.

Sermon Title: Two Steps Forward… Passage: Ezra 4:1-24 Sermon Series: Rebuilt Speaker: Sam Cassese What do you do when obedience doesn’t lead to momentum - but to opposition?

Let’s Start at the Very Beginning Sermon Series: Rebuilt Passage: Ezra 3:1-13 Date: February 1, 2026 Speaker: Sam Cassese Where would God start if He wanted to do something new in your life – with your circumstances, your habits, or your heart?
