Zechariah: God's Big Plan for struggling Christians

Christians struggle. We struggle with ridicule and being ignored in a ‘day of small things’; with opposition to the message that Jesus is the only way to God; with our own failures and the devil’s accusations that make us question whether God accepts us. False teachers, false religion, and false priorities plague and distract us. In Zechariah’s day, Israel had returned from exile, but home was certainly not all they had hoped for. Zechariah’s task was to bring comforting words to the struggling people of God. These six Bible studies open up Zechariah’s reassuring and revitalising message for God’s discouraged people, including God’s great international building project; His solution to sin; His promised Shepherd-King; His great Day of judgement and salvation. Constantly focusing on what these things mean practically for Christians today, this course aims to help Christians live a life shaped, not by ‘these days’, but by ‘that day’ when God’s big plan comes to glorious fruition.

The book of Zechariah seemed quite daunting with the visions etc. the study questions really got us thinking we have a mix in our group of new christians and old and all have enjoyed it.I found it very helpful for background history the commentary on Zechariah by barry webb from the bible speaks today.The book itself makes great connections between the new and old testament.Which brought us to understand the prophecies of our Lord Jesus. julian boyd
