Nehemiah (#1): Reality & Reaction
Jerusalem's walls were broken down and God's people were in trouble. In this desperate context, God moves on the heart of a leader named Nehemiah. But, before Nehemiah sets out on his mission of rebuilding the city walls, he first must feel and understand the burden and importance of the task before him.. As we study Nehemiah's reaction to his reality, we learn much about how we should react to our reality in our lives and city.

The Word and Revival (Nehemiah 7:73b-8:18)
The example of Nehemiah and Israel in his day challenges us not to lose our hold on the Bible. We are to teach and understand God's word, receive the word with appropriate contrition and joy, and ultimately to obediently apply God's word to all of life.

Endurance
We all need endurance. We cannot build the things that endure unless we endure the battle to build. There are a lot of things we need to build into our lives, our family and our community but we need endurance to do those things. The fourth chapter of the book of Nehemiah tells about a time when God's people needed and found this quality of endurance.

Exchanging Lies for Truth
The problem with Israel is our own, it is the gap between what we believe in theory and what we believe in practice. I may agree that God is sovereign (theoretical belief), but slip into deep anxiety when I am afraid or out of control (functional disbelief). What it means to grow in grace is to see the gap narrowed between what I confess to be truth and what I functionally believe in the moment. If it’s true that behind every sin is a lie, we are able to find a road out of the rut of despair and the feeling that our emotions and actions are inevitable. Nehemiah is helping us to see the path of hope in hopelessness, joy in the midst of suffering, and courage to fight our shame and disbelief.

The Call to Comprehend the City
Nehemiah is called by God to rebuild the city. After four months of prayer and preparation, he approaches the King for permission to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the wall. Upon arrival in Jerusalem, he personally explores and examines the scope of work to be done and then calls the people to join him in the task.
