In A Manner of Speaking- Prayer No. 8 Nehemiah & God's Covenant of Love: Nehemiah 1: 5-11

Update: 2013-05-17

Description

This is a most unlikely text for a Mother's Day sermon.

Blushingly, I would admit that this is one of the more hair-brained ideas for a sermon I've ever tried to pull off. You can't blame me for trying the near impossible.....well....maybe you can.

Nehemiah offers a prayer to God asking for guidance in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. At this time, Israel is released following the period when Babylon destroyed the city and took many of Jerusalem's residents captive.

The re-building of the wall of Jerusalem forms the backdrop for the Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Why is there so much ado about wall building? Are there deeper lessons at play here? Let's explore this together.
