Chronology - Return & Rebuild (week 2 of 4) w/ /Baptisms

Series: Chronology - Movement 4 (Return and Rebuild)
Message: Return and Rebuild - Homecoming
Movement #4: Return and Rebuild is the final movement that takes place in the Old Testament. It leads us to the pause before Bethlehem.
This movement begins with God's people living in exile. Generations of rebellion have led to their being conquered and carried off to a foreign land. It seems as though God's promises have come to an end.
BUT GOD... is not finished.
Just as He promised, He will bring them home. Through leaders like Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah, the temple is rebuilt, worship is restored, and Jerusalem's walls rise again.
Yet, even after returning to the land, something is still missing. The people have been restored geographically, but not spiritually. They are still waiting for the greater King and the greater restoration that is yet to come.
Bethlehem is looming. The Messiah is closer than ever!
