Are You A Leader Or A Follower?

In week three of our Revival Still In Progress series through Ezra–Nehemiah, Pastor Gabriel Hoff Jr. delivers a timely and challenging message from Ezra 7:1–10 titled “Are You A Leader Or A Follower?”

As Ezra steps onto the scene, we’re reminded that spiritual leadership starts with spiritual preparation. Before Ezra ever taught the people, he first set his heart—to study, obey, and teach God’s Word. Revival doesn’t just need a crowd—it needs committed leaders who model what they preach.

👉 Key Takeaways:

Set Your Heart on God’s Word – Revival starts with prioritizing God’s voice above all.

Set Your Heart to Study God’s Word – Leaders are learners before they are teachers.

Set Your Heart to Do God’s Word – Obedience gives credibility to leadership.

Set Your Heart to Teach God’s Word – Influence flows from integrity and intimacy with God.

This message is a call to examine whether we’re content just following others, or if we’re willing to become leaders who guide others toward God through the consistency of our own walk.
