Old Testament Bible Lessons

Ezra - Rebuilding the Temple

Old Testament Bible Lessons

This course is a series of Bible lessons on the Old Testament designed for older (middle school) children. Each lesson is about 20 minutes in length. The video portion of each lesson is accompanied by a Lesson Guide containing quizzes and test questions. The Lesson Guide is available in pdf format and can be downloaded or printed out for the student to complete in class. This course is very well suited for both home schools and private Christian schools worldwide, though it is primarily designed for use in a group setting. Parents and teachers can provide additional guidance to supplement these lessons and Bible knowledge tests, if desired.

Ezra - Rebuilding the Temple

We learned in the last lesson how, in God’s providence, King Cyrus not only allowed, but supported the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Now we will see how it went when they returned. They met with much opposition from the Samaritans who were left in the land. This lesson tells the story of what happened and how God caused them to overcome these problems with hard work and reliance upon God.
