A Fresh Start – Ezra Chapter 3

10 When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests in their vestments and with trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their places to praise the Lord, as prescribed by David king of Israel. 11 With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the Lord:

‘He is good;
    his love towards Israel endures for ever.’

A Fresh Start

  • A New Beginning
  • Restarting the Worship of God
  • Restarting the Work of God

For his anger lasts only a moment,
    but his favour lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
    but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5

Our God is the God of new beginnings.
