Life Application - Nehemiah


1.      Nehemiah was a man of great passion to a cause.  That cause was the protection of the people of God and the city of Jerusalem.  What do you have a passion about involving the Kingdom of God and His people?



2.      Nehemiah took great action to deal with the issues he had.  What actions have you taken/will you take on issues you have passion for?



3.      Nehemiah had the passionate desire to make sure the wall protecting Jerusalem was rebuilt and the people would be secure.  He faced great obstacles yet was persistent in pursuing the task to fruition.  His actions in spite of opposition demonstrated great faith on his part. 



A.       Who do you know who has demonstrated great faith in their life?



B.      What are the character traits you have observed in their life that make you want to emulate them in their faith? 



C.      Are there those who when asked this same question may include your name on their list?  If not, what do you plan to do about changing that?



4.      When God gave Nehemiah the task of rebuilding the wall, Nehemiah developed a strategy that would make the work much easier for all who helped.  The church has tasks given her by God to accomplish.



A.    What are tasks in the church that God has given you to do?



B.      How do you go about organizing yourself and those helping you to be prepared to accomplish the task?


C.     Have you ever thought that maybe we make the tasks God have given us to be more difficult than they need to be?  Why do we sometimes tend to do that?


5.      In Nehemiah, Ezra reads scripture, the people worship, they repent of their sin, they commit to obedience to the law of God.  How do you allow God’s word and our worship of Him to influence the decisions and actions you take in your daily life?
