Build: Week 4 - Building Issues 02/15/26

For the past month, we’ve been in a series called BUILD—because whether you realize it or not, all of us are builders. You’re building a life, a family, a future… but the real question is: What am I building—and is it what God is calling me to build? In Week 4, we step into Ezra 3–4, where the foundation of the temple is laid and worship breaks out—yet the moment the work starts, the issues show up. This message is for anyone who’s been stirred by God to rebuild, but keeps getting hit with friction, fatigue, and resistance. In this sermon, we talk about 3 “building issues” every builder faces:Comparison — when your present progress feels small next to your memory of “what used to be.” Opposition — when adversaries show up, sometimes with an offer, trying to get close enough to influence what God called you to build. Division — when the work stalls not because of enemies outside, but because the builders start fighting the builders. Key Scriptures: Ezra 3:10–13Ezra 4:1–42 Corinthians 10:12Nehemiah 5:1
