Text: Ezra 1:1-2:70 | Speaker: Levi Bakerink | Description: God's people have been in exile for years, but that does not mean they are forgotten. As Persia becomes the world power, God stirs up the heart of the king to fulfill his promise to return his people home. As we begin this study of Ezra and Nehemiah, we start with a new exodus—God delivers his people out of slavery and brings them into the promised land once again. From this we learn two important things: that God always keeps his promises, and that the promise for an even greater exodus remains for those who put their faith in Christ.
