Message: Return, Rebuild and Revive (9) - Ezra

Speaker:   Brother Hung-Chieh Yu   

Scriptures: Ezra 7-10, 12, Ne 8- 10

I. The Leader of the Second Return Group of People - Ezra

   1. A descendant of Aaron the high priest

      - extremely dependant on the service of the Levites in the house of God (Ezra 8:15-20, 24-30)

 

   2. He was a scribe skilled in the law of Moses

      - For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the LORD and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel.King's Decree on Behalf of Ezra .... Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven,    perfect peace. (Ezra 7:10, 12)

 

   3. He empathized the conditions of the poeple of God, and was responsible as their leader - Ezra's prayer of confessing sins (Ezra 9:1-10:2) and his dealing with the sins of God's house in actual steps (Ezra 10:2-12)

 

II. Ezra's Very Good Life

   1. Commended and trusted by the king

 

   2. Honored and obeyed by the people

 

   3. Chosen and commissioned by God

 

III. Ezra's Special Mission

   1. Restore the position and the power of His holy words (Ne 8:1-3, 5-18, 9:1-4)

 

   2. Leading people to God to live a holy living (Ezra 9, Ne 9)

 

 

Leading questions

1. Please share on the practical points, from 2 Tim3:16,17,  about the blessings and their effect to our lives.

2. What do we learn from the right attitude of reading God's words from Ezra? How are we to bring forth the blessings from what we learn of the Bible to our family, relative and friends?
