Merlin Miller wraps up the study of the book of Nehemiah with one more message tying to together and summarizing what we have learned.
27: Remember me, O my God
Merlin Miller continues the study of Nehemiah with this 27th message taken from Nehemiah 13:23-31. Nehemiah’s conclusion continues as he focuses on the intermarriage that resumed between the people of Judah and their neighboring countries.
25: Remember Me, O my God
Merlin Miller continues the study of Nehemiah with this 25th message taken from Nehemiah 12:44-13:14. These are now the concluding sections of Nehemiah as he summarizes the work has has done in Jerusalem. At the end of each section he asks God to remember him for his obedience.
24: Dedication of the Wall
Merlin Miller continues the study of Nehemiah with this 24th message taken from Nehemiah 12:1-43. The main thrust of this passage is the dedication of the wall that has been rebuilt around the city of Jerusalem.
23: Settling the Holy City
Merlin Miller continues the study of Nehemiah with this 23rd part taken from Nehemiah 11:1-36. The focus returns to some of the tangible changes the exiles made in Jerusalem, but those changes are an outgrowth of the internal confessing and repenting contained in the previous 3 chapters.
22: The People Confess & Repent
Merlin Miller returns to the study of Nehemiah with this 22nd part taken from Nehemiah 9:38-10:39. This is a completion of looking at the confession and repentance made by the exiles. This particular text lists the obligations that they made as they returned to the singular worship of God.
21: The People Confess & Repent
Merlin Miller continues the study of Nehemiah with this 21tst message, again titled The People Confess & Repent, continuing from Nehemiah 9:1-37.
20: The People Confess & Repent
Merlin Miller returns to the study of Nehemiah with this 20th message, titled The People Confess & Repent, taken from Nehemiah 9:1-37. The text has been building to this culmination, this true rebuilding of the people of God. The spiritual identity that is being rebuilt mirrors the physical identity that was rebuilt with the wall. And we can learn about confessing & repenting from these ancient people.
19: The Response to the Word
Merlin Miller returns to the study of Nehemiah, with this 19th message called The Response to the Word taken from Nehemiah 8:13-18. As the people gather and continue to study the Torah, they continue to respond accordingly.
18: The Response To The Word
Merlin Miller continues the study of Nehemiah with this 18th message taken from Nehemiah 8:1-12. In the prior message over the same text the focus was the reading of the Word, this time the focus is on the response of those who were listening to the Word.
17: The Reading of the Word
Merlin Miller returns to the study of Nehemiah with this 17th message taken from Nehemiah 8:1-12. God has gathered the entire group of exiles together, and His purpose is to expose them to the Book of the Law. The thrust of the text is the rebuilding work that the Word of God does to the people of God.
16: Preparation For The Real Rebuilding
Merlin Miller continues the study of Nehemiah, with the 16th message taken from Nehemiah 7:5-73. What appears to be a difficult list of names that are hard to work through nevertheless reveals a few nuggets for us. And ultimately we will see this as a transition to the real rebuilding that God is interested in.
15: The Wall is Finished
Merlin Miller continues the study of Nehemiah, with the 15th message taken from Nehemiah 6:15-7:4. In this text we see that the wall is finished, which strikes fear in the neighboring groups. But Nehemiah does not let down his guard, and again there is great application and instruction for us.
14: The Battle To Build 4
Merlin Miller continues the study of Nehemiah, with this 14th message taken from Nehemiah 6:1-14. Nehemiah returns his attention to the building of the wall, and the renewed efforts at stopping the rebuilding now that the wall is almost complete. Once again we see opposition from the “outside” and the “inside”, and once again we see how a godly leader responds.
13: Nehemiah’s Reforms 2
Merlin Miller returns to the study of Nehemiah, continuing to take a look at the reforms Nehemiah instituted in Nehemiah 5:14-19. It is for these internal reforms that he asks God to remember him for, not the external rebuilding he is doing.
12: Nehemiah's Reforms
Merlin Miller returns to the study of Nehemiah, with this 12th message taken from Nehemiah 5:1-13. As the visible wall is being rebuilt, other less visible issues rise to the surface - how will Nehemiah deal with these internal identity issues?
11: The Battle to Build 3
Merlin Miller returns to the study of Nehemiah with this 11th message taken from Nehemiah 4:15-23. This concludes the section focused on the battle to build the wall, again taking time to see what Nehemiah did, as well as finding application from that to our own lives.
10: The Battle To Build 2
Merlin Miller returns to the study of Nehemiah, with the 10th message taken from Nehemiah 4:7-14. The battle to rebuild the wall and gates intensifies, and it is interesting to see the source of the opposition faced by the builders. Even more remarkable is to see how our experiences today, though different in a physical sense, are ultimately the same.
09: The Battle To Build
Merlin Miller returns to the study of Nehemiah with the 9th message, taken from Nehemiah 4:1-6. As the wall is being built, the opposition continues to try to hamper the rebuilding. As we see their battle to build unfold we can learn about the battles we face.
08: Rebuilding The Walls
Merlin Miller continues Nehemiah with the 8th sermon taken from Nehemiah 3:1-32. This chapter details those who helped rebuild the wall. Can we learn anything from a long list of names that hard to pronounce?
