A bunch of names doing work - rebuilding the wall around Jerasalem
First, everyone can contribute to the work
No experts - willing hands
priests, goldsmiths, perfume-makers, a man and his daughters, temple servants, merchants, and homeowners

God created each of us as his handiwork to go forth and to do good deeds
1 Peter 4:10
Every follower of Jesus has been entrusted with gifts empowered by the Holy Spirit
The rebuilding of the wall only took 52 days to complete
building God’s kingdom is a group project
Working in a unified and shared vision
