SERMON OUTLINE:1: Ezra is positioned as God’s Reformer (Ezra 7:1-10).2: Behind the actions of the king is the hand of God (Ezra 7:11-28). 3: Rebuilding God’s people is always a group project (Ezra 8:1-36).DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:Why is Ezra’s order of first study of the Bible, then personal action, and lastly teaching others important? What happens if we mix up that order? How are you doing with those 3 steps?Where have you seen God’s good hand on you (Red Sea Moments)? How do those moments produce courage to act and a posture of worship?
