Week 8: Chosen One
On Your Own
Ezra and Nehemiah were two other Israelites who lived during the rule of the Persian Empire and were chosen for a specific purpose. Read the story of one of these men and answer the following questions:
-
What are his gifts, abilities, and passions?
-
What great need did he try to help meet?
-
What difficulties did he face?
-
What was the end result?
Think About It
-
We are all chosen, made for a specific purpose and living in a specific time and place. How should that affect the way we live?
-
How does our purpose relate to faith?
