Ezra Part 5

We finally meet Ezra, a skilled scribe and priest, from Babylon to Jerusalem during the reign of King Artaxerxes of Persia. Ezra is sent with the king's blessing and authority to teach the laws of God and ensure that they are being followed in Jerusalem. The chapter emphasizes God's favor on Ezra, as he is given resources, silver, gold, and offerings to restore worship at the temple. Ezra's mission is to lead a spiritual revival among the Israelites, ensuring they are living according to the Law of Moses. At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.
