Summary
In these two chapters of Nehemiah, we see Nehemiah's focus shift from building a structure to building people. In chapter six, we follow along as Nehemiah faces distraction, slander, and attempted sabotage. Yet in spite of every external opposition, Jerusalem's wall was still completed in 52 days. Chapter seven is three key principles of preparation for restoration: leadership, citizenship, and stewardship. In this message from Pastor Skip Heitzig, we see that God not only cares about completion, but faithfulness, dependability, and unfailing trust in Him, even after the victory.

| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:09.8 | So we explain the Bible first by verse, every chapter, every book. This is expound. |
| 0:22.6 | Great to see you again. |
| 0:32.6 | I was, during the worship, just the last few minutes, looking at this picture that is behind me that you can see of Jerusalem. |
| 0:37.1 | It's such a great photograph, and I didn't take it. |
| 0:42.7 | But it was taken, it's an aerial view, though I have flown in a helicopter over this area. |
| 0:46.0 | This is a stunning photograph. |
| 0:50.4 | In fact, I thought, if I had a pointer, I could sort of take you on a mini tour. |
| 0:55.5 | I could do a whole session just on the things that happened right here, |
| 1:05.6 | because you are looking at the navel of the earth, the center of the earth. And it's a picture of the temple mount of Jerusalem. It is the focus of the book of Nehemiah who came back to rebuild the city, |
| 1:16.9 | rebuild the walls of the city, and many of those walls are walls that you see behind me |
| 1:24.0 | as you're looking at this photograph. We are in Nehemiah chapter six and God willing seven, |
| 1:34.0 | but definitely chapter six for today's study. I just flew back yesterday from Cambodia. |
| 1:44.5 | Boy are my arms tired, no. |
| 1:47.3 | But when I was there, Cambodia has an interesting history, very violent history. |
| 1:57.1 | Some of you will remember back in 1975, not that long ago, in 1979. |
| 2:04.4 | It was ruled by a guy by the name of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. |
| 2:10.6 | If you've seen or heard of the book and movie, The Killing Fields, it's all about what happened there in Cambodia. Millions of people |
| 2:22.8 | butchered, especially those who had a background of Christianity, religious faith. All religions |
| 2:32.8 | were persecuted by the communist socialist regime, but Christianity |
| 2:38.6 | was targeted. However, recently it has opened up. The doors have opened up for ministry, |
