In this sermon we see the people confess their sins as they rededicate themselves to God and living as his people. How does this passage reveal the importance of confession in the life of God's people?

In this sermon we explore how Nehemiah and God's people attempt to "recapture" the worship of God in spirit and truth and the mission that flows out of that worship. Sometimes we lose focus and our faith runs stagnant. Worship is what reignites our hearts and passion for the things of God and devoting our lives to him once again.

Nehemiah continues to face opposition and personal threat to rebuilding the wall. How does Nehemiah respond to the challenges and threats against him? Opposition is not easy to engage, yet Nehemiah teaches us what it looks like to do so by faith.

When Israel sets themselves to rebuilding the wall they immediately face opposition from the outside. How does Nehemiah respond to this external threat to the purposes of God and how should we face opposition? Are we as resolved to see God’s purposes come about in our lives?

The people have married foreign wives and Ezra mourns over Israel's unfaithfulness. How does he respond? How are we to think of divorce and marriage and how does Ezra's response relate to the New Testament teaching?

Israel was living in the fear of man and unwilling to rebuild the temple. They had abandoned the work that God had given them and the temple was still incomplete. Why were they afraid and how does God engage with his fearful people?

As the new foundation for the temple is laid, we see that some rejoice while others weep. what does this teach is about the nature of worship? Why were some weeping at such a magnificent and joyous event?
