You Should Be Reading the Bible - Ezra 7:1-28

May 31, 2026    Mike McCormick

Today we continue our study verse by verse through the book of Ezra. The priest and scribe has now made his way up from Babylon to Jerusalem in about the year 458 BC. In this chapter, God will reveal how he can use even a pagan king to bring about his desired purposes for his people. Ezra was a tremendous spiritual leader, skilled in the word of God, but he is very careful to give all the credit to the Lord, the God of Israel, exactly where it belongs. Scripture text is Ezra 7:1-28.
