Intro to Ezra | Journey 19 Day 1

Ezra 1: The Books of Restoration | Today Kris Langham introduces the book of Ezra with a concise overview of the themes, background, people, and stories that will help you understand the book ahead.Journey 19 | Restoration. Journey Nineteen guides us through the powerful and epic story in the Bible's Books of Restoration. The Old Testament history is completed as Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther tell the story of God restoring his people back to their homeland. Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi prophesy to the nation, as God declares, "Return to me, and I will return to you." Then in the NT, Ephesians brings God's restoration into our own lives as we learn the power of grace and how to walk in it. Finally Philemon delivers a powerful statement against slavery and a call to recognize the brotherhood that Christ brings to all humanity.
