BUILDING THE WALL (Neh 3-4)
For Israel then and for us now (1) each must accept their task, (2) each needs to confront discouragement, (3) each needs to learn submission to God
- Neh 3:1-5 Read, re-read, and visualize these verses. Make three observations and discuss in your group.
- Have you accepted your task here at Orchard Community Church? Share your journey if you have accepted your task.
- Neh 4:1-6 After hearing the ridicule of 4:1-3, how would you have responded? Compare that to the response of the people in 4:4-6.
- Think of someone's exemplary handling of a discouraging situation and how that encouraged you.
- Neh 4:7-23 Trace the flow of measure-countermeasure between the two "opponents." Point out the steps that demonstrate submission to God.
