Be Heroic - Minor Prophets 1

by Warren W. Wiersbe

We all admire the hero. That person who's celebrated for accomplishing big things in the face of even bigger odds. Yet heroes aren't defined by their circumstances, but by their choices. They're people who continually choose to serve others, even when no one is watching, and without expecting credit. Based on the books of Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah, this study examines three unsung heroes of the Bible who can inspire us today.

50,000 thousand Jewish exiles, led by Zerubbabel and Joshua returned to Jerusalem in 537 BC to rebuild their temple and their lives. Their story is told in the Old Testament books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah. Ezra was a priest and Haggai and Zechariah were prophets, but together with Zerubbabel the governor of Judah, they encouraged the Jewish remnant, overcame obstacles, and worked together to finish the work God gave them to do. That's what makes heroes. 

Be Heroic includes 13 Chapters with timelines, an outline, and commentary, plus questions for personal reflection or group discussion on the books of Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah.
