Dr. Mark Scott (retired preaching professor and former academic dean of Ozark Christian College) walks through the book of Ezra, teaching about God’s people coming out of Babylonian captivity and going home to the land of Israel. Israel was far from perfect, but God was preparing them for the advent of Jesus Christ.

**Characteristics of Godly Leaders found in Ezra:**

- Study, Practice, and Teach God’s Word (7:1, 6-10, 25)

- Live Under God’s Providence (7:28; 8:18, 22, 31)

- Handle Money Well (7:14-20)

- Demonstrate Spiritual Disciplines (8:21-23)

- Act Courageously (8:15-18)

- Live a Life of Doxology (7:27-28)

**Discussion Questions:**

- Ezra was a scribe. In light of Matthew 13:52, what does being a scribe in the kingdom of heaven mean to you?

- Sometimes there is a fine line between God’s intervention miraculously and his daily providence. Can you share an example of an ordinary time when God took care of you?

- Fasting and prayer are mentioned in these two chapters as two of Ezra’s spiritual 
disciplines. In your opinion, how does fasting make your prayers more earnest?

- How do we cultivate a habit of doxology every day?
