Nehemiah - Chapter-6

Chapter Summary

Opposition by craft. Nehemiah's manly firmness. The wall done.

How do we see Nehemiah's wisdom in seeing through the lies in verse 2? How is this instructive for leaders today?
Do we see the people of God attacked today in similar ways as verse 6? What are some examples? How should the people of God respond in these scenarios?
Where does real strength come from based on verse 9? In what areas of our own lives can we apply this prayer? Give specific examples.
Why can't Nehemiah enter the temple? How do we see Nehemiah's respect for the temple and for God? How do we see Nehemiah's courage and how is this applicable to us today?
How do we see Nehemiah testing prophecy in verse 12? What sort of teachings should we be suspicious of or test today?
Has someone ever tempted you to sin by claiming they were speaking for God? How does verse 13 speak to such situations? What practices can we put in place to guard against these types of scenarios?
How do we see God's work completed even amidst great difficulty in verse 16? How does this give us confidence in doing God's work today?
What are some other examples of the enemies of God attacking the people of God like in verses 1-2? Does the Bible teach that this still happens today? How are believers to respond? What are some good and bad responses you have seen yourself?
Why does Nehemiah see his work as so important in verse 3? How is this instructive for ministry today?
Why is the mention of a king in Judah a threat to other kings in verse 7? Is King Jesus a threat to kings today? Why or why not?
