Ezra-Nehemiah Series, part 10: We Will Be Remembered for the Choices We Make – Outline
Nehemiah Chapter 6
- Nehemiah left the security of the citadel of Susa to go where there was no citadel, no protection, for the sake of God’s work.
- Nehemiah 5:19 He says, “Remember me…” Nehemiah 6:14 He says, “Remember my enemies…” Both bold requests.
- Proverbs 20:11 Even a child is known by his actions.
- Nehemiah 6:1-9 Threat comes from the outside to get him discouraged so he would quit. People tell lies about him. Question his motives. Nehemiah does not fall for their schemes. Why? He knows his work is great and cannot be stopped. ‘Don’t go to Ono!’
- Nehemiah 6:10 A friendly face, but a strange message. Numbers 18:7, 2 Chronicles 26:16-21. Nehemiah knew God’s Word, so he knew better than to go into the temple. He knew not to follow this opinion which would discredit him.
- Nehemiah 6:15 Whether the threat is from outside or inside, let us not be the ones to fear.
- 2 Corinthians 5:10 We will all answer to God.
- 1 Thessalonians 1:3 “Work produced by faith…” If there are no deeds, is there faith?
- Nehemiah 6:17 The nobles of Judah are corresponding with the enemy! An ongoing threat comes through the in-laws!
- Nehemiah 7:1 How do you deal with ongoing drama? You appoint leaders that fear God more than most men do. When you are about God’s work, there will always be threats.
- In 52 days they rebuilt a wall that had laid in ruins for over a century. Nehemiah isn’t the only one who could do it; but he is the only one who chose to do it.
