Welcome to Youngsville Free Methodist Church

So the temple is built and the walls are completed and the people gather with a “unified purpose at the square just inside the Water Gate.” (8:1)

What a bunch of big bullies we hear from today.

The book of Nehemiah begins with troubling news from Jerusalem.

In our reading today after six chapters, we are finally introduced to Ezra.

Haggai is given word from God that it is beyond time for the Jews to start rebuilding the Temple. He asks the question, “Why are you living in luxurious houses while my house lies in ruins?”

What should be done when God’s house is neglected?

Ezra brings the message of restoration. Cyrus, king of Persia, grants permission for the exiles to return to Jerusalem and to start the work of rebuilding.

Daniel concludes today with visions pertaining to the end times.

We begin our reading today, with Daniel, (who we know is a very a godly prophet and a man of unshakable faith), who has been given a dream or vision that greatly disturbs him.
