Questions we ask:
What do I do when people attack me?
What is really going on with _______________?
How will the church continue in the midst of our culture?
The big idea: discernment is needed now to understand our future.
Nehemiah had the ability, I believe it was God given, to see things underneath the surface.
To see what was really going on.
Discernment: the ability to correctly understand what is going on and decide the best course of action.
The ability given by the Holy Spirit, to distinguish subtle truths and best actions.
Be careful about justifying what we want.
I am pretty good at rationalizing, coming up with a good reason why I am right and the things I want could be of God.
I am also learning that the more I start to rationalize and justify what I want the further away from Scripture and God’s Will I am heading.
Sanballat and his “team” bring an accussation that if it was true, and it is not, of Nehemiah than why would they want to collaborate and be seen as “accomplices” to what was going on.
The power of rumors and “open” letters.
James talks about controlling the tongue and here we have the beginnings of intentional gossip being spread.
Nehemiah decides to live out Scripture.
The proposition of going into the sanctuary is a good one but Nehemiah knows that to get so close to God because of his desire will not be good.
The Law, which Nehemiah would be under, stated only priests could go before the Lord and be in the inner Sanctuary.
He would be trading one death for another.

Sanballat and his “team” bring an accusation that if it was true, and it is not, of Nehemiah than why would they want to collaborate and be seen as “accomplices” to what was going on.
In order to live out Scripture, one must know Scripture.
How are you growing in your faith?
Nehemiah, I believe, was trained in the Scriptures before he ever needed the Scripture.
He didn’t try to learn just after he arrived in Jerusalem.
This book shows us the power of being faithful to God and how God will prepare us for whatever may come our way.
In hard times, Christ is sufficient.
God does great work with small numbers.
We need not worry about how “big” we are, in fact God has done some pretty impressive things with just a small remnant.
This is true in Nehemiah as verse 15 tells us the wall was completed in 52 days, during the hottest time of the year.
