Ezra was tasked with gathering and strengthening the people

 (458 BC)

Nehemiah was tasked with rebuilding the walls for protection 

(445-432 BC)

 

Stand firm in your spiritual commitments despite opposition, knowing that reliance on God strengthens you to continue His work.

Reference—Nehemiah 6:3 – I am doing a great work

The hearing of the word

Compare this with your own experiences of studying Scripture. Reflect on how actively engaging with God’s Word impacts your own life.

(leave room to write here)

 

Reflect on a time when you felt "stirred up" by God. How did you respond, and what impact did it have on your spiritual journey? 

 

Use building blocks or LEGO bricks to illustrate rebuilding. Start with scattered blocks representing Jerusalem in ruins, then build a unified wall as you discuss collaboration, perseverance, and effective leadership.

One is a fully completed timeline.

The other is interactive with blank spaces that you can fill in as we go.
