Overview of Nehemiah

Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview of Nehemiah, presented by Steve Gregg, the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem by the Jewish people is highlighted as a symbol of building a spiritual edifice in the New Testament church. Nehemiah, a layman and strong leader reliant on divine guidance, successfully completed the task despite facing opposition from enemies. The book of Nehemiah is significant in the preservation of Jewish faith and highlights the importance of using the right materials, such as spiritually living people who are genuine born-again believers and disciples of Jesus Christ, in building the church.
