The Purge

...the path to greatness will be a route that none of the Israelites expected. And there's a PATTERN here: that same road is the path anyone takes if he or she will live a significant life…not simply a life of fame or success or popularity (Hebrews 11.37-39) but true significance in the sight of God.

On the way to restoration and greatness, there must be a purge in the city – a cleansing. Cities are rarely famous for cleanliness but to be great, this city will have to be… decontaminated and will then become a SOURCE of purity and beauty to others. Let's see this pattern and path to greatness and how anyone who becomes great follows it:

#1 – A City Gripped by Grief
#2 – A City Flying to a Fountain
#3 – A City Refined and Restored
