Aug 28, 2022Remember Me, O Lord | Nehemiah 13:4-31Series: NehemiahAugust 28, 2022: Nehemiah comes back to Jerusalem after being away for a period of time. Most scholars think about ten years has passed. When he returns, he finds that a compromised priesthood has led to misuse of Temple facilities, an abandonment of temple worship by many, and improper political alliances. Nehemiah must clean house, and he does. Today, we look at the high priest Eliashib and see what happens when love of influence, money, and sex replace the love of God.

Aug 14, 2022A Covenant Life | Nehemiah 10:28-39Series: NehemiahAugust 14, 2022: The Israelites had come to a place where they were keenly aware of their sin and God’s grace in allowing them to return to their land and build the temple and the wall. Because of this, they decided to make a covenant to obey the particulars of the law and not to neglect the Temple. In their zeal to not offend God, they committed to honoring God in their relationships, their commerce, and their giving to the work of the Temple. Over the next 400 years, this would become a complicated legalistic system concerned only with outward appearance of religion. That is the system that was in place when Jesus was born.

Jul 24, 2022A Widespread Outcry | Nehemiah 5:1-13Series: NehemiahJuly 24, 2022: Often, when times are tough, there are those who are willing to profit from other people’s desperation. The same thing happened during the time of Nehemiah. Jews were loaning money at interest, in violation of the law, and they were enslaving their fellow Jews. We learn, however, from God’s word that He expects us to show His generosity to those who are our neighbors.
