The Purpose Of The Broad Wall

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022

The verse that we are going to use for our text contains the words, “...the broad wall.”

God could have said, “...the wall,” but He intentionally use an adjective to described the wall as being a BROAD WALL. WHY DID GOD INTENTIONALLY TELL US THE WALL WAS A BROAD WALL? He did this for a special reason. Illus: If you were to go to the library and do some research on what qualifies ...read more

Stand Firm

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jun 2, 2021

As followers of Jesus we MUST stand firm in the struggle against evil just as Nehemiah did in his work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.

Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV) 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And ...read more

It's More Than A List! Lessons From Nehemiah 3 Series

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013

Whenever we get to long lists in the Bible, our eyes usually just skim through them, or we may just skip them. If we do this with Nehemiah 3, we will miss many good lessons.

The book opens up with Nehemiah learning of the bad news about the condition of the walls of Jerusalem and the condition of the people. Nehemiah showed in his questioning of his brother of the condition of God’s people and city and what followed what his priorities were as a servant of God. ...read more

Working With The Lord's Help Series

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013

It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react with anger, ridicule, and rejection. Nehemiah gives us a great example of how we need to respond when the enemies of God oppose His work.

In this lesson, I would like to look at the leadership of Nehemiah through the hardship and opposition that the people went through. They had opposition from outside and discouragement from inside, yet they got the job done. It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react ...read more

A Mind To Work

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 12, 2022

Disapproval and discouragement can result from ridicule. We should choose not to respond in the same manner or to become discouraged when we are ridiculed for our faith or criticized for doing what we know is right.

Many years prior to Nehemiah’s time, the Northern Kingdom had been conquered and many were taken captive to other lands. The conquering nation introduced prisoners from other lands, which led to intermarriage with the few Israelites. This blending of the races produced the people known as the ...read more

Nehemiah's Prayers Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 13, 2017

Nehemiah's contemporary, Ezra, had taken some of the exiles back to their homeland and rebuilt the temple. But the walls had been broken down and the gates had been burned. This is where Nehemiah comes in. Let's see how prayer factors into this endeavor.

How Should The People Of God Build?

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Jan 7, 2023

There are times in the Christian life when the enemy will assault us. How should we respond? How can we build our lives, our families, when we are under attack? We can learn from Nehemiah.

In Arnold Dallimore’s short biography of Spurgeon, he has one chapter entitled, “Daily Life in the Great Church,” which includes the following: “The Metropolitan Tabernacle was not, as some have assumed, merely a highly populated preaching center. . . Apart from the sick and infirm, there were very ...read more

Facing Opposition And Overcoming

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 16, 2023

Joseph faced opposition but, as a result, saved his family. David faced opposition from his brother but went ahead and killed Goliath. Nehemiah faced opposition, never lost confidence, and completed the building in record time. We no less will succeed, our confidence in our Lord.

One day he made a coat of many colours for Joseph. His brothers hated him and did not speak very kindly to him. Joseph then has ...read more
