Nehemiah 9:1-38
What does revival look like? What does it mean for your spiritual life to be woken up? The Israelites heard Ezra read the Word of God, and many recognized the ways they fell short of God’s glory. Individually, they turned to God. Collectively, they praised Him. Revival spread through the new city of Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 8:1-18
With the city gates secured and people doing their appointed jobs, Nehemiah turned their attention to Ezra, the scribe, and Ezra turned their hearts back to the Word of God. After 70 years of captivity, many people had never heard the Word of God. Now the Word of God did its work, leading people to conviction of sin, repentance, and joy in fellowship with God. They celebrated the feasts again, to remember how God had rescued and taken care of them in the past.
Nehemiah 7:1-73
Now that the walls are complete, Nehemiah appoints safeguards to protect the city—beginning with doors on the gates. Inside, watchmen were set up to guard the gates. And lastly, people were appointed to worship God and Levites were given a place to serve. The list of new and surprising VIPs is long. God sees and remembers the faithful ones and records their names in a book.
Nehemiah 6:1-19
“Between a rock and a hard place,” that’s where Nehemiah finds himself in chapter six. After 52 days, Jerusalem’s walls are rebuilt but the drama continues. Nehemiah’s enemies circulate lies and stories about his intentions. When his reputation, even his life, are on the line, Nehemiah turns again to God in prayer.
Nehemiah 5:1-19
When attacking Nehemiah and his team from the outside didn’t work, the enemy of our souls stirred conflict within Nehemiah’s team, causing them to turn on each other. Nehemiah exposed the corruption and demanded restoration. Not only was he a good businessman, he was a godly man. And while the people forgot what he did for them, God remembered Nehemiah’s good works.
Nehemiah 4:1-23
The life of God’s people is not simply a life of prayer, it is also a walk and a warfare. Under great opposition, Nehemiah’s plan of rebuilding the wall continues—only now worked with one hand, with a weapon in the other, ready to fight at the sound of Nehemiah’s trumpet. The lessons of faith and courage are learned as we study the book of Nehemiah.
Nehemiah 3:28-32
We continue our tour of the ten gates of Jerusalem, learning contextual and spiritual lessons along the way. We began and now end at the Sheep Gate, the most important, symbolizing the cross of Jesus Christ.
Nehemiah 3:4-27
The ten gates in the walls around Jerusalem tell the gospel story of redemption. Walk each one with Dr. J. Vernon McGee and gain insight into the context and spiritual lessons built around the ancient city.
Nehemiah 2:17-3:3
What inspires God’s people to lead well in spite of criticism? Nehemiah models how to keep a team on track when he leads them in rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls. Learn valuable rules of leadership, observing how God accomplishes His work in different ways with different people.
Nehemiah 1:7-2:16
What does it mean to run ahead of God? Sometimes you want something so badly that you make big plans and spend resources to make it happen. Nehemiah knew that the best way to see God’s people restored in Jerusalem was to wait on God and pray. When the time came, Nehemiah was ready, using caution and good judgment to do God’s work.
