Monday March 31, 2014 “Unselfishness”
Neh. 5:8 And I said to them, “According to our ability we have redeemed our Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brethren?

Neh 4:20-23 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us.” 21 So we labored in the work, and half of the men held the spears from daybreak until the stars appeared. 22 At the same time I also said to the people, “Let each man … Continue reading

Neh 4:15 And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had brought their plot to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.

Neh 4:13 “Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.” People don’t like the lower places but Nehemiah placed them in that position, so they went and did as they were … Continue reading

Nehemiah 3:20 “20 After him Baruch the son of Zabbai carefully repaired the other section, from the buttress to the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest.” The words repairs and repaired are used over 35 times in Chapter 3 of Nehemiah and it seems that everyone was involved. I am sure that has … Continue reading

Nehemiah 4:2,8,9 “2 And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices?
