Completion of Wall / Exiles Settled

May 26, 2024 • Ron Moore • Nehemiah 6:15—7:73

Nehemiah held a privileged position in the powerful Persian Empire. When he learned that the walls of Jerusalem—the city of his ancestors—were in ruins, the people were living in disgrace, and God was being mocked, he was moved to action. God put it in Nehemiah’s heart to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the walls that provided protection, security, and identity to the city.

Nehemiah traveled from the capital of the Persian Empire to Jerusalem—about a thousand-mile journey—surveyed the walls, designed a re-building plan, recruited strategic leaders (who recruited others), did a masterful job at delegation, and started a massive repair and rebuilding project. Even in the face of significant opposition and threats of military attack from enemies, the project was finished in fifty-two days.

Truths to Consider: · Are you involved in any compromising partnerships and/or friendships? · Are you involved with people who will drag you down spiritually? · Is there a “Tobiah” in your circle of friends or your children’s friends? · Do you use your money to honor God or yourself? · Do you worship God with your work? · Is Jesus the focus and “language” in your home? · Are you willing to stand for Jesus even if you have to stand alone? -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit http://biblechapel.org/devo.

Dedication of the Wall

June 30, 2024 • Ron Moore • Nehemiah 12:27–47, Romans 12:1–2, Isaiah 40

The word worship is a shortening of an old English word, “worthship.” It means to show something’s worth, to demonstrate something’s value, and to reveal something’s greatness. Christians, however, don’t worship something but Someone—the God of heaven and earth. A Definition of Worship: Worship: Honoring God moment-by-moment in response to his work and his Word. Worship is such an all-consuming part of the Christian life that in Scripture, there are many words to describe it. Here are seven Hebrew words used to explain aspects of worship. Halel—to boast, rave, celebrate. Zamar—to celebrate in song and music. Tehillah—breaking out in spontaneous song. Shabach—address in a loud tone. To shout. To express triumph. Towdah—Thanksgiving for things not yet received. Yadah—to extend hands Barak—to kneel -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit http://biblechapel.org/devo.
