Ezra reads the Law and restores God's word to its proper place.

Nehemiah faces the enemies of the work

We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”  (Romans 15:1-3)

Building, watching and praying.

Nehemiah leads the work of rebuilding. Everyone joins in but opposition increases.

Nehemiah takes stock of the state of the wall. It is time to take inventory of your, and your church's state.

Nehemiah receives news of the state of Jerusalem. We are challenged to hear the news of the modern church in ruin and the call to prayer and to rebuilding.
