Ezra Project messages inspire people and church families to recommit to reading, doing, and sharing God's Word.
Why is an emphasis on Bible reading important today? According to Barna Research:
75% of Christians overlook the Bible when shaping their worldview
Only 29% of men and 43% of women say they read the Bible either weekly or daily
Only 14% of born-again adults rely on the Bible as their moral compass
Like in the days of Ezra, an Old Testament priest who brought God's Word back to the Israelites, people today need to come back to the Word of God. Ezra Project messages will improve Bible reading in your personal life and in the church family.

1. Living Power: Basic Instructions Before Life Everyday
Most Christians have no plan for intentional spiritual growth; we grow accidentally. Living Power will inspire Christians to take a powerful step toward personal, intentional, spiritual growth. Where do you turn for spiritual power to fuel your physically and spiritually demanding life? God's power supply! Hebrews 4:12 tells us, "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Living Power is a dynamic power point presentation that demonstrates the power of God's Word. We share:
How to develop a passion for God's Word
Why read the Bible
8 successful methods of Bible reading
How to overcome the lack of personal discipline in Bible reading
The top seven reasons to read the Bible
Practical life applications from Bible reading
How to hear from God everyday of your life.
Living Power is virtually guaranteed to raise personal, family, and church-wide Bible reading. Only about 16% of Christians are currently daily Bible readers. We need to re-connect God's people to God's Word! The Body of Christ is becoming Biblically illiterate.
Living Power successfully challenges Christians to commit to the Word of God again. During the past five years, nearly 5,000 people have committed to daily Bible reading after hearing Living Power. About 67%, two thirds, of those who attend, or watch the message on DVD, commit to daily Bible reading. That's good for you, your family, and your church.
Living Power will show you how you can become a 21st century Ezra. Based on Ezra 7:10, there are only three things to do:
read the Word of God--routinely, daily
do it--obey it, practice it, apply it at home and at work daily
share it with others--teach it, speak it, know it enough to promote it to your sphere of influence

2. Believe Again
Our Christian beliefs have been shaken by significant historical events. Discover what shook our Biblical foundation. What happened to our “goodness” in the last 50 years and more importantly, what we Christians can do about it? Can we point the way back to solid ground? Can we find something to believe in again?
The answer is hidden in the Word of God. There are secret codes in the Bible; not the Da Vinci code or a code of Hebrew letters and numbers that some computer deciphers. No, these codes are uncovered by opening the Bible and peering inside! You will be fascinated by a Bible code that specifically addresses your life issues, after you discover what shook our beliefs in our country, our government, our schools, our churches, our neighborhood, and each other. Discover a Bible code of:
Commitment—the C word we love to avoid
Obedience—who wants to obey anybody in today’s world
Discipline—how good are we at self-discipline
Evidence—can you see God sightings in your life
Believe Again will point people back to God’s Word!
