Nehemiah 3 | Frank Mayfield

The Hallows Church

Nehemiah 3 can look at first glance like a long and dare I say boring list of names and places. A closer look, however, reveals a wealth of beautiful truth for us to ponder. This chapter highlights that unity is possible even in a diverse group of people when God is at work in and through them. We also see in this chapter that there is a wide range of ways to serve in God’s kingdom that means anybody can do something regardless of capacity and gifting. Lastly chapter 3 shows us about the importance of humility in God’s kingdom and it reminds us that though other people may overlook our efforts, God see it all and he is pleased when we have hearts that long for his glory and not our own. 1. A divine building project 2. A diverse and united work party 3. A defined role for everyone
