About this book
"Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it."—Ezra 10:4
The Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah offer a timeless message of hope to Christians, reminding us that Jesus came to set us free from our own Babylonian captivity by becoming the true temple, living Word, and the One who is preparing a city where the walls are perfectly pure and secure. In this eleven-lesson Bible study, Sarah Ivill provides students of Scripture with an in-depth look at these two small books filled with great truths which will encourage them to trust that the good hand of God is on them.
Useful for either individual or group studies, Ezra and Nehemiah includes suggestions for small group leaders, an overview of redemptive history, and a guide to learning Christ in all of Scripture.
Each lesson includes:
* Introduction— an overview of the chapters with applications for your mind, heart, and hands
* Personal study— a series of questions that helps you dig deeper into God’s Word
* Pulling it all together— a brief commentary that answers any lingering questions you may have after your personal study
* Processing it Together— a section of questions to facilitate studying in community
