1: The historical context of Ezra-Nehemiah.
2: God stirs the heart of King Cyrus (Ezra 1:1-4).

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  • When your loves become dis-ordered, what is it that typically takes the place of God as your primary love?
  • If God really is sovereign and faithful, as Ezra says He is, how does that impact your day to day living?
  • In light of these themes, what do you hope the Spirit stirs in your heart as we study Ezra-Nehemiah over the next few months?
