This autumn we are taking a look at the work of rebuilding, as documented in the Old Testament books
of Ezra and Nehemiah. The series will explore what led to the exile of God's people in Babylon,
their subsequent liberation and return to Jerusalem, and how God used his servants to rebuild the city,
the temple, and their worship. Yet despite all this the people slide back into sinful ways and practices.
There is plenty for us to learn, and plenty of warning signs for us to look out for too!
