Worshippers on the Wall 1

Nehemiah 12 specifically names the gatekeepers of the city, to show that the lowliest job is important to the Lord. As the Psalm says, "I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness."

Biblically, Jerusalem is the center of world, in a geographic, spiritual, and prophetic sense. And it will be the center of God's glory in eternity—but it will be a New Jerusalem, not the city rebuilt by Nehemiah.
March 27, 2008
Jerusalem was rebuilt, but it was only sparsely occupied. The leaders were there, but they needed more citizens—for trade and for security. They drew lots for who would live in the city, as a kind of "tithe" of people.

The people in Nehemiah 10 promised not to intermarry with the nations around them, and they pledged to keep the Sabbath. Further, they promised to present their tithes and offerings—which meant they trusted God to provide.
March 25, 2008
In Nehemiah 10, the people made a covenant to the Lord. It was based on Scripture, and it was made in public, to make them accountable to each other. They understood their tendency to stray from the Law of God.

The reason Easter is so joyous is because of what happened on Good Friday, when Jesus voluntarily gave His life for the sins of all the world. It is because of this act that we can, with Jesus, address God as "Father."

Not only was Job's hope in a person, a "Redeemer," but it was a personal hope. He called Him "my Redeemer" and he knew without question that he would see God. The question today is: Is He your Redeemer?
March 20, 2008
Job had lost everything. He no longer had his riches, his family, his health, or even the support of his wife. And his friends, instead of encouraging him, were accusing him of sin. Yet he had hope, and it was in a Person.

After seeing the empty tomb, the women were told to go and tell His disciples. The message is the same for us: Go and tell. Go and tell what you have seen, how your life has changed, what Jesus has done for you.
March 18, 2008
The angel at the tomb told the women to "come and see" where Jesus had been. The tomb showed the humility of Christ, the reality of sin, the mortality of men, and—most importantly—Jesus' victory over death.
March 17, 2008
There is a difference between remorse and repentance. Remorse is merely recognizing your sins and feeling bad about them. Repentance is more. It is a determination to change, to leave the sins behind and obey the Lord.
