Rebuilding the Wall - Studies in Nehemiah

Welcome to Rebuilding the Walls! —a Bible study on the book of Nehemiah.

The book of Nehemiah is one of the most intriguing and beautiful books that God has given to His church. The encouragement and lessons contained in Nehemiah are priceless! When we consider the obstacles that Nehemiah and the post-exilic Jewish community faced, it simply overwhelms us—not to mention what it did to them! And yet, God was able to work wonders among this downtrodden people.

The fourteen lessons presented in this Bible study seek to be practical. Every effort has been made to both see the text in light of those who actually lived it, and then to apply the lessons taught in the Word of God to modern believers. It is my hope that the reader will apply the lessons to his/her life and experience the power of the Word of God in a personal fashion.

You will note that there is a section of each lesson entitled “Focus on Us.” This section is intended to be done by each learner on his/her own. It is hoped that the daily readings will add richness and meaning to the study of the book of Nehemiah. It is also hoped that the suggested Scriptures for memorization will enhance the faith journey of each learner. The questions are intended to help each learner probe deeper into their own walk with the Lord.

Furthermore, effort has been given to make this material “user friendly.” The Leader’s Guide has been furnished with additional materials and suggestions for teaching this book. Several options have been supplied for teaching this material that give flexibility and creativity to the leader.

My prayer is that for each one God will enrich your spiritual life and give you insight into overcoming the obstacles of life and celebrating God’s rich grace given to you!
