Nehemiah 9
April 19, 2023
What does revival look like? What does it mean for your spiritual life to be woken up? The Israelites heard Ezra read the Word of God, and many recognized the ways they fell short of God’s glory. Individually, they turned to God. Collectively, they praised Him. Revival spread through the new city of Jerusalem.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
Past Episodes
With the city gates secured and people doing their appointed jobs, Nehemiah turned their attention to Ezra, the scribe, and Ezra turned their hearts back to the Word of God. After 70 years of captivity, many people had never heard the Word of God. Now the Word of God did its work, leading people to conviction of sin, repentance, and joy in fellowship with God. They celebrated the feasts again, to remember how God had rescued and taken care of them in the past.

Now that the walls are complete, Nehemiah appoints safeguards to protect the city—beginning with doors on the gates. Inside, watchmen were set up to guard the gates. And lastly, people were appointed to worship God and Levites were given a place to serve. The list of new and surprising VIPs is long. God sees and remembers the faithful ones and records their names in a book.

“Between a rock and a hard place,” that’s where Nehemiah finds himself in chapter six. After 52 days, Jerusalem’s walls are rebuilt but the drama continues. Nehemiah’s enemies circulate lies and stories about his intentions. When his reputation, even his life, are on the line, Nehemiah turns again to God in prayer.

When attacking Nehemiah and his team from the outside didn’t work, the enemy of our souls stirred conflict within Nehemiah’s team, causing them to turn on each other. Nehemiah exposed the corruption and demanded restoration. Not only was he a good businessman, he was a godly man. And while the people forgot what he did for them, God remembered Nehemiah’s good works.

The life of God’s people is not simply a life of prayer, it is also a walk and a warfare.

The lessons of faith and courage are learned as we study the book of Nehemiah.

What does it mean to run ahead of God? Sometimes you want something so badly that you make big plans and spend resources to make it happen.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
