WHEN THE LORD STIRS HEARTS
2/9/2026
Text: Ezra 1:1-6
Theme: God stirs the hearts of men to get involved where He is at 
work.
Intro: The LORD stirs the heart of men like you (2 Chron. 36:22, 
23; Ezra 1:1-3; 7:27)
This is a biblical idea you must understand to move forward. 
Since God stirs men’s hearts then you must understand that 
He wants to stir your heart
I. The LORD stirs the hearts of people like you to go (Ezra 1:3, 5)
Key passage: Haggai 1:14
II. The LORD stirs the hearts of people like you to give (Ezra 1:4,  6)
Conclusion: ? When God wants to get something done and asks 
for help, do you believe that you ought to be involved?
The question isn’t, How do I want to be involved? 
The question is, How does God want me to be involved? 
 Major point – God was willing to sacrifice what He loves most 
for you! ? What are you willing to sacrifice for Him?
