In Nehemiah 7, we see Nehemiah beginning to organize the people that will live inside of the walls. They finished the wall in Chapter 6 and that was important, but now we begin to see that what takes place within the walls is even more important. Why? Because it will be about God and His people!
Listen in as Nehemiah deals with some new attacks right as he is finishing the wall around Jerusalem. We will learn how to handle these attacks of the enemy and stand firm in what God has called us to do!
Sometimes we face opposition from external sources. It can be mockery, threats and more. Sometimes we face discouragement but sometimes we must deal with internal strife and division. if we don’t deal with it, it can stop the work God wants to do. Listen is to see how Nehemiah dealt with this problem and kept…
The Resurrection is the single most important event in the life of the believer. Listen in as we take a look at Matt 28:1-8 and consider the 4 things the angels told the women who came to visit the crucified Christ at the tomb but were told that it was empty and that Jesus had risen from the dead!
Last week we looked at outside opposition. This week we look at internal opposition. Weariness, discouragement, and fear were all things that Nehemiah had to deal with in Nehemiah 4:10-23. Listen I’m to get some practical wisdom how to stand against these obstacles in our Christian walk.
The wall is being constructed, progress is being made and the enemy is not happy. This is what we find in Nehemiah Chapter 4. Listen in to see how the enemy will come against us and what we can do in order to have victory in spiritual warfare.
** PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PDF (It will be helpful to have as you listen)**
Nehemiah 3 can easily be seen as a chapter to skip over as it lists a bunch of names of people who worked on the wall and names a bunch of gates that were repaired. We won’t skip this chapter because there is so much here for us. Listen in as we see how the gates speak about different stages or parts of our Christian walk and we look at some of the people God used to complete the walls.
In this study, we see the need to have vision. Without vision, we are aimless and without direction. We need to know God’s vision for our lives and what He is calling us to do. Nehemiah knew that and got onboard with God’s vision and calling on his life. Will you? (This study is more topical in nature than what we normally do on Sunday mornings, but is not the norm!)
