Today in Children’s Ministry we are learning about the Return & Silence eras in the Bible!
Ezra leads the people back from exile to rebuild Jerusalem. The Jews are conquered by the Romans and religious groups pop up and insist on rule following (legalism) for the next 400 years.
Jesus is the Word of God!
For more information about all of the eras of the Bible, we encourage adults to read the book 30 Days to Understanding the Bible by Max Anders
Read About It...
Read the story of the return from exile from Ezra 1-6 or find it in your favorite story bible.
Talk About It…
The Bible was silent for 400 years - but that does not mean that God was silent during that time. He still loved and cared for his people! God’s people were waiting for their rescuer. We are so lucky to live in a time when we know our rescuer, Jesus - we do not have to wait for him!
Pray About It…
Thank God for never forgetting us and always loving us! Ask God to help you listen to Him always!
Every week of this unit, you can add an icon to a poster to show how all of the stories we learn about are part of the BIG story of the Bible.
You can print the poster and the icons from the link below to use for the whole unit.
Let’s Study the Bible Weekly Icons
