Ezra 3:1-7, 10-11; and 6:21-22
Sunday morning we started a two-part series in Ezra.
After Israel's united kingdom splits up and the Assyrians and Babylonians conquer Israel and Judah, the nation of Israel is scattered across the land and Jerusalem becomes a dangerous rundown city.
The book of Ezra shows two of the three waves of people coming back to Jerusalem to restore The Ark and the Temple.
This week we focused on the restoration of the temple and worship with the central theme being, "Worship must be an established practice in the Christian life."
Here are some great follow up questions to Sunday's lesson:
- Why do you think worship is an essential part of the Christian life?
- Is worship part of your daily life? Why or why not?
- What is the source and motivation for your worship?
- Are there things that distract you from worshiping God? What do you need to do to make worship your top priority?
