How God Uses the Leaders of Nations // David Swart

In this message, we dive into Ezra 1 to explore how God's sovereign hand moves world leaders, fulfills ancient prophecies, and calls His people out of exile. Discover how the decree of King Cyrus reveals a God who is all-powerful, merciful, and active in our daily lives, and why standard comfort can never replace a life surrendered to Christ.
