Nehemiah 6:15 - 7:4 [Know Who You Are] (Rod Ohmes) - PDF

Ramsey Creek Baptist Church Sermons

The completion of the Jerusalem walls made something very clear to the Jews and everyone else - God was with His people. God never abandons those who trust in Him. Despite the pressure from outside and deception from inside, the people of God would need to know who they were - they belonged to God. And because of this, they were called to be different, set apart. Nehemiah tightens security in Jerusalem because they were about to do something that hadn't been done in 100 years - have a worship service. The walls weren't rebuilt so they could just sit around looking at pretty walls. The walls were rebuilt so they could worship God properly and freely.
