February 13, 2022: Ezra and the Law (Ezra 7:1-10, 23-26)

To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:

Have someone read Ezra 7:23-26 aloud. Use the “Job Description” handout from the activity page of lesson 8, which you can download here. Ask what challenges and rewards Ezra might have experienced.

To encourage personal application:

Read aloud Nehemiah 8:1-6 to show the response to Ezra’s teaching. Distribute copies of “The Effects of God’s Word” and/or “Looking Forward” exercises from the activity page as take-homes.
