Rebuilding the Walls – Nehemiah 3:1-32

Potentially two things could happen during our lesson this evening. The most natural response would be to become bored out of your mind as we read through this chapter. Or, with the Spirit’s blessing you might see some potential lessons and applications to yourselves....

What to Do in the Face of the Enemy – Nehemiah 4:1-6

The Book of Nehemiah is a very practical and useful book. For example, thus far in our 15 lessons we’ve had a couple of messages on prayer. There have been two lessons on the common maladies of sadness and depression. We’ve looked at the responsibility of the church,...

Going Without – Hebrews 12:14
