Nehemiah, Part 37: Protecting What We Have II (Neh. 7)
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 25, 2025)
In the first half of this sermon from Nehemiah Chapter Seven, we saw that after the great rebuilding project had been miraculously finished in fifty-two days, Nehemiah appointed godly leadership to help him protect that which God had blessed them with. Then God put into his heart to make a list of “the nobles, and the rulers, and the people” who were with him in Jerusalem and helped with the work of rebuilding the walls. While this long list might seem tedious as we read it, is it not wonderful and amazing that God would prompt him to record the names of these faithful servants? What an encouragement this ought to be to us, to be reminded that God loves and focuses upon His people who serve Him in His Kingdom even today!
