Learning to Sing God’s Praise Again – May 16, 2021

Scripture: Ezra 1: 1-7;  5: 19-22

The end of the Babylonian Captivity was a restart button for the people of Israel, who by decree of Cyrus, King of Persia, were allowed to return home to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. They needed to learn to sing God’s praise again in their home land.   Their celebration of the first passover after the exile was a time of joy and celebration and aided them in their work of rebuilding.  We, too, can learn to sing God’s praise again because of the thousands of years of history that undergirds who we are as people of God and followers of Jesus. We can rebuilt this church at this time!
