Let's Go Deeper! (for older kids)

Read in the Bible: Nehemiah 8-10; Malachi 1, 3, 4; Ezra 7

Consider these questions:
  • Why did Ezra & Nehemiah read the laws of Moses to the people?
  • What did the people see when they heard the rules?
  • What did they think God was going to do? Were they right or wrong?
  • Why is it important to remember and tell stories about what God has done in the past?
  • What more did God tell his people?
  • What does this tell us about Jesus?

Praying through this story
Thank you, Jesus, for the celebration on earth when you came to rescue us. We are excited that you have another party planned for when you come back again. Then you will finished the rescue of all of creation and will dry our tears forever. Continue to teach us more deeply about your ‘Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love.’  In Jesus' name, AMEN
