Who doesn’t love a fresh start? Whether it is a new calendar year, a clean coat of paint, or cleaning out a cluttered closet, there is just something invigorating about a new beginning. Are you looking for a fresh start with God? The book of Ezra may be one of the lesser-known books in the Old Testament but within its pages is a story of God’s remarkable faithfulness to His people who were given a fresh start. At this time in history, the Jewish people followed their own desires, worshiped worldly gods, and disobeyed God’s commands. Despite repeated warnings to turn back to God, they refused to listen, sliding deeper into sin. For 70 years in Babylonian captivity, God, desiring for them to turn back to Him, lovingly and mercifully dealt with their sinful hearts. Just as God promised, after 70 years, He led them home to Jerusalem to start over again, both physically and spiritually, under the leadership of Zerubbabel first and then Ezra. Although this is an Old Testament story, there are many New Testament parallels found in this study. 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” There is forgiveness, freedom, and a bright future for anyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ. We can come to God with our past mistakes, pain, and struggles. He offers us a fresh start and a new beginning in Him. This 9-session, verse-by-verse Bible study journeys through the book of Ezra. Learning from the Jewish exiles, you will be encouraged and equipped to put the past behind and start again with God who restores, rebuilds, and revives those who turn to Him.
