The wall has been rebuilt, the people of Judah have turned their hearts back to the Lord and renewed the covenant, and the city of Jerusalem has been repopulated. If this were a fable, the only thing left would be to say, "And they all lived happily ever after!" But, real life doesn't work that way as is evident in this final expository message in this series. Audio includes celebration of the Lord's Table. The sermon begins at approximately the 18:50 mark.

We love to dedicate things - songs, buildings, roads & bridges are just a small sampling of things that are often dedicated to someone or something. But, it's one thing to dedicate a thing and another thing entirely to be dedicated to something, as we discover in this expository sermon from Nehemiah 11 & 12.

Having been convicted by the word of God to repent and confess their sins, the nation of Israel is now moved to action by renewing their commitment to the Mosaic covenant and especially to specific provisions which were foundational to their present circumstances. This passage is surprisingly relevant to the church today, as we see in this expository sermon from Nehemiah 9:38-10:39.

Following the celebration of the God-ordained Jewish high holy days, the spiritual renewal in Nehemiah's Jerusalem continued with more grassroots response from the people. Only this time, it took a form that is unfamiliar - perhaps even uncomfortable - for many western churches: corporate confession. Discover how we might apply this to our day in this expository sermon from Nehemiah 9:1-37.

The history of God's people has been punctuated by specific periods characterized by increased interest and intense devotion to the Lord. This dynamic is perhaps most apparent in the book of Judges. In the Church Age they have been referred to as "revivals" or "great awakenings." How do these movements come about and what do they look like? Find out in this expository sermon from Nehemiah 8:1-18.

The wall is competed! And in only 52 days!! It is a feat that certainly could not have been done without God's special empowerment and it is a cause to rejoice. But, there is still work to be done, as we learn in this expository sermon from Nehemiah 6:15-7:73.

Throughout Nehemiah's journey to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem he has experienced growing opposition. In this chapter that opposition becomes actively engaged in stopping the project, reminding us that we have an enemy and that opposition is the ordinary state of affairs for all Christians. An expository sermon from Nehemiah 4:1-14.

When Nehemiah presented his plans to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, the Bible says the people responded and literally, "set their hands to good." Which begs the question, when does a work qualify as a good work? The task before them was to build a wall, but they recognized that there was more to it than that, as we see in this expository sermon from Nehemiah 2:11-3:32.

The Bible reminds us over and over that sometimes we need to wait on God's timing in a given situation. But that doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of things we can be doing while we wait, as exemplified by Nehemiah in this expository sermon from Nehemiah 2:1-10.

We've all been disappointed at one times in our life or another - plans get changed, people let us down, or something we were really looking forward to doesn't meet our expectations. This is natural. How should we respond to such a situation? Typical responses can range from pouting to throwing a tantrum, but these are neither helpful nor healthy. However, there is a constructive response as seen in this expository sermon from Nehemiah 1:1-11.
