Nehemiah wasn’t the only one rebuilding Jerusalem after the exile. Alongside him stood Zerubbabel, who rebuilt the temple, and Ezra, who restored the law. Together, they accomplished incredible things—but even their best efforts fell short of the vision the prophets spoke of. In this short video, we look back at all three leaders and ask: What were they really building? And how does their work point us to Jesus—the greater restorer, the true temple, and the one who welcomes all people into the presence of God? As we close this series, we’re reminded:

These are the questions Russell asks at the end of the message: have a listen and see how you would answer: Are you broken hearted about the need of people in Horley to enter the Kingdom of God? Are you prepared to lay the foundations of discipleship and prayer? Are you prepared to step out of your comfort zone personally and as the body of Christ here at HBC, to build for lasting impact?

In this deep dive podcast episode, Martin and Phil explore the themes of "Promises for the Faithful" from their sermon series. They discuss how God's promises aren't just blank cheques, but require active participation from believers. The conversation explores how God's promises are less about individual comfort and more about personal transformation and building His kingdom. They reflect on how challenges can shape us to become more Christ-like and why understanding God's promises goes beyond a transactional, 'Western perspective'. This is perfect for Christians seeking a deeper understanding of faith, spiritual growth, and God's purpose. Some Key Topics: - God's promises and human responsibility - Spiritual transformation - Understanding faith beyond personal comfort - Navigating life's challenges with God
