Devotional Reading: Psalm 95:1-7 Lesson Scripture: Ezra 3:1-7 Lesson Aims: To summa rize the lesson: recognize the significance of their feast days in light of their return home; and to seek ways that will pre vent worship from becoming a mere ritual. Background: Originally Ezra and Nehemiah (August lessons) was one book that picked up at the end of II Chronicles. "It was Origin, an African Church Father (AD 185-253) who began to refer to the work as I and II Ezra (Zondervan's NIV Study Bible). The author - simply called the chronicler - also penned the two books of Chronicles and Nehemiah. Ezra and Nehemiah recorded the events that took place after the exiles returned from Captivity. Like their three stage deportation (605, 597 and 586 BC), the Jews went back to Jerusalem in three stages (538. 458, and 444 BC). The books have several themes woven into the accounts - Their restoration and protec tion were all God's doing; the community was repatriated (renewed); and they were a chastened people who often times would stray again. In Ezra, the chronicler told what happened when the first two groups returned while Nehemiah covered the third group. liie first returnees, led by Sheshbazzar (shesh BAZ ur) and Zerubbabel (zuh RUHB uh buhl), were to rebuild the Temple that the Babylonians destroyed. Cyrus, the Persian leader who toppled Babylon, gave the returning exiles all of the Temple treasures (5,400) as well. See chapter 1. In chapter See Peppers on B5 Faith leaders push for immigration bill Cosio SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE The Evangelical Immigration Table, which includes a number of faith-based groups, has launched its newest and largest paid-media cam paign to reach evangelicals on the issue of immigration. The effort includes radio ads in North Carolina and a billboard in Raleigh. The radio ad fea tures Rev. Ale* Cosio of Apex (N.C.) Baptist Church. The ad campaign further increases the Evangelical Immigration Table's support for biDartisan. common-sense immigration reform and builds on the 92 day "Pray for Reform" campaign. The call took place as small groups of Christians in at least 20 states gathered in their commu nities to pray for immigrants and for Congress as part of the Pray for Reform campaign. The national ads on Christian and talk radio stations feature Dr. Russell Moore, president-elect of the Ethics and Religious 4 Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Lynne Hybels, co-founder of Willow Creek Community Church. In addition, ads featuring local nastois arc airino on stations in Alaska. Arizona. Florida, Georgia. Idaho. Kansas. Kentucky. Montana. North Carolina. Ohio. South Carolina. Tennessee and Texas. Pray for Reform billboards will appear in Florida, North Carolina. South Carolina and Texas. "Evangelicals understand that our broken system is a moral issue; this isn't just a legal icciu> it icn't a ru-xliti/^al icciu> rvr i.iouv, at ? >?ii i u pvimvui IJJMV vi an economic issue only." said Moore. "It's a moral issue and it's been a stain on our country for too long. Now is the time for the country to come together for an immi gration system that respects the God given human dignity of every person." Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are cur rently trying to hash out an immigration bill. Their efforts have been stiffled by policy disagreements. ?
