เอสรา 10:1

How do you study the Bible? How do you apply the Word of God to your life? How do you inspire others to do the same? Over the next four days, we will take a look at Ezra the scribe whose dedication to study, obey, and teach the Revelation of God ignited revival in Jerusalem.

Do you feel like you are in a season of loss and ruin? After decades of captivity, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem, only to find the city in ruins. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah detail God's faithfulness to his people as they rebuilt their homeland and offer encouragement to you when you need to rebuild too.

Ezra and Haggai call God’s people to rebuild what has been broken and return to wholehearted devotion. Through opposition, obedience, and renewed worship, these books reveal a faithful God who strengthens His people and restores what was lost. As you read with us, invite the Holy Spirit to stir fresh courage in your heart, realign your priorities, and rebuild the areas of your life that need His restoring touch.

Picking up where 2 Chronicles ends, Ezra describes the return of exiles to Jerusalem and the eventual rebuilding of the temple. Using the influence of pagan kings and unbelieving rulers, God was faithful to bring his people back to the land and reestablish worship at the temple.
