We finish the wall with Nehemiah. We get to listen in on his final advice as he hands his remodel project over to the homeowners. He warns them not to undo the work and to keep working after he's gone because the work is bigger than them.

Brett takes us through Nehemiah's reaction to distraction and continual attempts to do him harm. He stayed on the right path by recognizing that he was doing a great work. Listen in as Brett walks us through how Nehemiah worked this out.

We join Nehemiah as he faces his first internal conflict. What do you do when everything in the city is going great but some people are at risk of missing out because of things that happened in the past? Nehemiah has so much to say to our world today.

Nehemiah and his people hit resistance in chapter four. The enemies of God's people threaten to stop the work of rebuilding the wall. Nehemiah teaches us how to handle an attack from the enemy and as we work through the chapter we find many parallels to our own times.

We join Nehemiah as he repairs the wall and rehangs the gates. He decides what to block out and what to let in. We must learn to do the same.

We ride through the wreckage of Jerusalem with Nehemiah and learn about how to own the brokenness of our own world, keeping the Grace and Resources of God before us at all times.

We study Nehemiah's conversation with Artaxerses and how it reflects the strange relationship between Church and State. What does it look like to be a Jew in the middle of the Babylonian empire. What does it look like to be a Christian in the middle of America? The answer is in who really sits on the throne.

We dive into Nehemiah as he is broken over the news of how bad of shape his nation is in. Nehemiah allows his heart to be broken and then he prays. He extols the Lord, confesses, repents and asks God to bless his action. We should follow Nehemiah's example as we address the many issues in our world.

As we look through the night time discussion between Jesus and Nicodemus we find that the Spiritual life is harder to pin down than we might like, but what is important is that we recognize when it's there.

Above all else, we find that Jesus came to Save us. That's why He came, and that changes everything.

As we look at the Temptation story, we see that Jesus finds Himself in the ancient story of Israel's wandering only where Israel failed God, Jesus didn't. The temptations story is so much more than just Jesus being tempted. It's a story of how he is righteous where we are not. Ultimately Jesus faces the same temptation that Satan has been using since the beginning. Did God Really Say...
