Things Just Ain’t What They Used to Be

This sermon from Ezra 3:6-13, explores the rebuilding of the Temple's foundation following the Babylonian captivity. The message reflects on how the elders wept, recalling the former glory of the Temple, while the younger generation rejoiced, celebrating the new beginnings and blessings from God. This poignant biblical scene serves as a parallel to the modern church, encouraging us to appreciate God's current work in our lives and to focus on the present rather than dwelling on the past.
