    Sword And Trowel Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 25, 2013
     | 7,368 views

    Prayer, preparation, and a passion for the cause of God are the keys to Israel's defense under Nehemiah.

    We’re skipping over chapter 3, which consists of a roster of those engaged in the work effort. Nehemiah has his workers carefully organized to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The Hebrew word for “rebuild” was also used for the healing of a wound. Nehemiah divides the work into ...read more

    When the Jewish people lost focus and became bitter against each other, Nehemiah brings them back into focus.

    When We Lose Focus Nehemiah 5: 1-19 Intro: News article taken from the archives of Landover Baptist church in Maryland. 100 years of Christian fellowship, spiritual love, Godly unity, and community growth ended last Tuesday in a fit of congregational discord not to be rivaled in this century. ...read more

    Defending The Poor Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 3, 2013
     | 6,641 views

    God cares for the poor and oppressed; one of the most prominent themes in the Bible is our response toward the poor. It is the duty of God’s people to provide for those in need as best as we can with compassion, following the example of Nehemiah.

    Nehemiah has resisted outward attacks, but now there’s corruption within. It’s been said that, “No test of leadership is more revealing than the test of opposition” (Boice). Nehemiah wasn’t expecting opposition from his own people. The outcry of the poor reached his ...read more

    Go In To Possess

     | 2,902 views

    Sometimes we expect God to spoon-feed us! We want the ‘blessings’ wrapped with colorful, glossy paper and given to us; it does not happen that way, there are times we got to just move forward and possess it.

    Go in to possess! Nehemiah 9:15”You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, And brought them water out of the rock for their thirst, And told them to go in to possess the land Which You had sworn to give them.” Observe the title once more, it is not 'go in and possess' but it ...read more

    In Nehemiah 6, we see examples of persistence and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

    “Finish The Shot” Nehemiah 6:1-19 Intro: As most of you know, I coached football and wrestling for many years in the local school. One of the major challenges that I faced in coaching wrestling was the concept of what I call “finishing the shot”. The shot is the most basic ...read more

    The work on the wall is nearly done, so we see their four acts of desperation to defeat God’s work: 1. Assassination plot (1-4); 2. Scandalous rumor (5-7); 3. Trap to violate the Temple (10-14); 4. Threat letters (15-19)...and truth to follow when we fac

    Our public schools have been dealing with the serious problem of bullying. Bullies are nothing new; we see examples of them in the Book of Nehemiah. As Nehemiah gets closer to completing the work on the wall of Jerusalem, the pressure and intimidation intensifies. The work was nearly done; all ...read more

    Nehemiah 4:7-23, discussion of when God is working in an individual's life or a church's life, Satan is at work as well.

    God’s Working! Satan is Too Nehemiah 4:7-23 Throughout our study of the book of Nehemiah, we’ve seen a common theme develop within the first 4 chapters: when God is working, Satan is working double-time to discredit the work of God and His servants. Nehemiah was a servant of God who ...read more

    Lucy is best known in the Peanuts comics for her five cent advice, which is neither helpful or uplifting. Different people spoke into Nehemiah's life and he had to decide who he would listen to.

    The Doctor is In I don’t know if Lucy is anyone’s favorite character in the Peanut’s universe. But the reality is that we all either know a Lucy or are a Lucy and if you are a Lucy there is really no way to see that as complimentary. Lucy is not a nice person, she calls ...read more

    In review, Nehemiah has asked the king of Persia for support to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and in spite of regional opposition and threats, the project was successful. For the first time the people of Jerusalem were able to live normal lives without fear of attack. However, Nehemiah’s ...read more

    In God Choosing Nehemiah and leading Nehemiah to choose Hanani and Hananiah we see a portrait of what a church leader should look like.

    Portrait Of A Church Leader Nehemiah 7:1-2 Intro: A small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand in a trial -- a grand-motherly, elderly woman.
