Reading Plan: Rebuild – Ezra
Monday, May 17: Ezra 1
- Whose hearts does God move in Chapter 1?
- What does this show us about the power of God to move all people?
- Has God moved in your heart recently? Is there a way you need to respond to Him?
Tuesday, May 18: Ezra 2
- Genealogies can seem tedious, but God often includes them in scripture.
Why is this list of people and their number so important?
How does this exodus compare in scope and purpose to the exodus from Egypt?
- Consider verses 68-69. How did the returning exiles display their joy and thanksgiving in returning to Jerusalem?
What is the connection between generosity and gratitude?
Wednesday, May 19: Ezra 3
- For 2 years the returned exiles worshiped in circumstances that were not ideal.
What were some of their barriers to worship?
- Describe how the unity the returned exiles felt contributed to their fearlessness?
- How can fear destroy both unity and faith?
Thursday, May 20: Ezra 4
- What kind of tactics did the enemies of God use to disrupt Kingdom work in Ezra 4?
Which, if any, of the Enemy’s tactics were at least temporarily successful?
- Read Matthew 2:7-8 & 16, Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 23:1-5.
How did Jesus face the same tactics?
Which, if any, of the Enemy’s tactics were at least temporarily successful?
- Have you faced any of these same tactics in your relationship with the Lord or in service
to the Kingdom? Which, if any, of the Enemy’s tactics were at least temporarily successful?
How have you overcome them? Which do you still struggle with?
Friday, May 21: Ezra 5
- Who does God send with a message to Zerubbabel according to verse 1?
(See Haggai 1-2 and Zechariah 2 for the message.)
- What does it teach us about God that He sends encouragement when His workers are discouraged and facing opposition?
- How has God provided encouragement for you when you felt like giving up on Kingdom
work or, for a time, did? Have you ever missed God’s provision because of discouraging
circumstances only to realize what God was trying to provide later? Why is
discouragement such an effective tactic of the Enemy?
Saturday, May 22: Reflect
- The first half of the book of Ezra ranges from enthusiasm and joy to fear and discouragement.
Yet, no matter how the people felt, their call remained the same: rebuild Jerusalem.
Jesus has given us a call to live out no matter how we feel: share the gospel and make disciples.
- Reflecting on what you’ve learned in these 5 chapters,
how can you live out Jesus’ call for your life regardless of your circumstances?
- What have you learned about God in Ezra 1-5 that makes you more confident in living out Jesus’ call for your life?
Sunday, May 23: Pray
- Spend time in prayer asking God to move in your heart, to help you increase in thanksgiving and generosity, to overcome fear,
to recognize the tactics the Enemy is using to get in the way of your Kingdom work,
and for eyes to see god’s provision even in discouraging circumstances.
Monday, May 24: Ezra 6
- Read verses 12-13. If earthly Kings expects obedience and his decrees are carried out with diligence, what does our Heavenly King expect?
- What is the penalty for disobeying the earthly king? (see 6: 11-12) What is the penalty for disobeying the Heavenly King? (see Romans 6:23)
- How do you obey the Heavenly King: with diligence and joy or with compromise and begrudgingly?
- What is the connections between verses 13-22 and Ezra 5:5?
Tuesday, May 25: Ezra 7
- Read verses 9 and 27-28. What was on Ezra? How was Ezra able to recognize God’s help and provision in his life? See verse 10.
- How did Ezra’s confidence in the Word and in God’s presence display itself in his life? See verse 28.
- What would you do if you were confident the gracious hand of God was on you?
Wednesday, May 25: Ezra 8
- Consider the problem facing these exiles in verses 15-20.
Why would Levites have been essential for temple protocol?
What do we learn about Ezra by the fact that he didn’t compromise God’s instructions but sent messengers to bring Levites on the journey?
How can we apply this principle to our own live?
- Read verses 21-23. How does Ezra’s honesty describe the intersection of faith and fear?
Would you have made the same choice as Ezra?
Thursday, May 26: Ezra 9
- Why did God tell Israel not to intermarry with foreign people? See Exodus 34: 11-16, Deuteronomy 7:1-6.
- How does Ezra react when he finds out about the sins of the people?
Considering Ezra had not married a foreign woman, do you think his reaction is extreme?
How do you respond when you see sin in the world?
Friday, May 27: Ezra 10
- How did the people respond when they saw Ezra’s reaction?
How do you respond when someone points out sin in your own life?
- What does sending the foreign spouses away symbolize for 21st century disciples?
