An Indescribable Gift
About This Series:
Seven decades have passed since the smell of sacrifices last rose from Solomon’s Temple. Many Jews have already given up hope of ever seeing their beloved homeland again, and perhaps many have even begun to accept that God has abandoned them forever. But outside their walls of despair, they begin to hear a faint rumbling—not unlike the distinct rumbling of clouds before a storm. It is the sound of a nation on the brink of revival. In Ezra: Under the Good Hand of God, Stephen searches the Old Testament archives and spotlights the divinely empowered achievements of Ezra as he leads God's people to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and reclaim authentic worship.
Sermons In This Series
An Indescribable Gift 1 - The Prophecy
Isaiah 9:6
Isaiah gave five titles for the Messiah—Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. These names are more than poetic—they reveal the identity of Jesus Christ and the comfort He brings to those who surrender to Him.
An Indescribable Gift 2 - The Pedigree
Matthew 1:1–17
Most people skip Jesus’ genealogy, but Matthew’s list reveals God’s providence, Jesus’ right to the throne, and a powerful picture of grace. This message shows how scandal, sin, and redemption are woven into the royal line of the Messiah.
An Indescribably Gift 3 - The Paradox
Matthew 1 & Luke 2
The birth of Christ was filled with paradox: a virgin conceives, a King is born into poverty, and the world reacts with anger, apathy—or adoration. Stephen walks through the tension of the incarnation and the invitation it still offers us today.
