When the Jewish remnant returned from Babylon, God did far more than rebuild a city. Through Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah, He rebuilt a chosen people.
Written especially for incoming freshmen at Heartland Baptist Bible College, Building for the Coming King shows how the lessons of Israel's restoration provide a blueprint for building a genuine walk with God. Each chapter uses these post-exilic books to explore a vital aspect of the Christian life and ministry, from establishing the right spiritual priorities and responding to God's correction, to embracing discipleship, developing Christian character, cultivating meaningful relationships, preparing for ministry, and maintaining an eternal perspective.
Bible college is far more than earning an education. It is God's workshop for shaping servants who know Him deeply and are prepared to serve Him faithfully until Christ returns.
Concluding with practical wisdom from Heartland Baptist Bible College graduates serving around the world, this book offers biblical instruction, practical encouragement, and seasoned counsel for one of the most important seasons of your life.
