Calvary Church is dedicated to doctrine, and we want you to experience the life change that comes from knowing God's word and applying it to your life.

So we explain the Bible first by verse, every chapter, every book. This is expound.

I'm excited for Nehemiah.

Let's turn there.

Nehemiah chapter 3.

Nehemiah is in your Old Testament.

Chapter 3 is where we are going to go.

If you do not have a Bible, there will be one provided for you in the chair

somewhere close to your vicinity in the front of that chair. They're newer Bibles with nice,

easy-to-read print and hard back. And they're not for you to take home, but they're for you to use while you're in

this home, and they're there for you tonight. We're in chapter three of Nehemiah. Our approach,

if you are new to Wednesday night, is we go through the entire Bible, not in one night,

obviously, but over a period of several years, beginning in Genesis, ending in Revelation,

first verse, last verse, and all the ones in between.

And we will often do an Old Testament book, and then a New Testament book,

and then back to the old and new.

And so I started that

so many years ago. Probably if I had it to do all over again, I might have just kept it consecutive

all the way through, but there are some parts that can seem long and tedious. And so I just thought

we'd mix it up. And we are,

anyway, we are in Nehemiah, we are in chapter three. You should know that the books of Nehemiah,

Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, we call them post-exylic books. Those are the post-exylic books that is after the exile.
