Revival starts with returning to God

Even in seasons of exile and loss, God is faithful to rebuild and restore. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Ezra 6, where God’s people—after fifty years in Babylonian captivity—return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and rediscover the Word of God. Pastor John reminds us that revival always begins with repentance and renewal of the heart. Just as God used Ezra to reintroduce Scripture and worship to a generation that had forgotten, He still moves today to awaken His people and bring light into the darkness. God can use anyone—even unlikely leaders—to rebuild what’s been broken.
