\u20141 Peter 3:15b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>Read\nthe Key Verse and understand that the way to have a ready answer comes by much\nprayer. In this lesson, we will learn of a mighty man of prayer named Nehemiah.\nWhen the people in Jerusalem did\nnot know what to do, Nehemiah was always ready with a word of hope and\nencouragement for God\u2019s people<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>Today,\nwe will learn that prayer is not only important for our own personal life to\nknow what God wants us to do, but to also be an encouragement to others with a\nword of hope.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>Zerubbabel\nled the first of the people back into the land\n of Israel. We then learned that\nEzra led a second group from the land\n of Babylon into Israel.\nThe Temple of the Lord had been\nrebuilt, but we will learn today that the walls of Jerusalem\nwere broken down and the gates were burned. No one had begun to reinforce the\ncity of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A message of the condition of Jerusalem\nwas delivered to a man named Nehemiah. He was the cupbearer in King Artaxerxes\ncourt. (Remember that King Artaxerxes allowed Ezra to lead a group into Israel.)\nWhen Nehemiah received the message, he immediately prayed. When the king\nrecognized he was troubled and asked what it was, Nehemiah told the king his\nheart\u2019s desire \u2013 to return to the city of Jerusalem\nand rebuild the walls and gates. Not only did the king send him, but gave him\nmany supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Nehemiah returned, he surveyed the\ndamage. He reported to the people what needed to be done. The people agreed\nthat the walls and gates needed to be rebuilt. So, they began.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the enemies made themselves known. Today we will learn of the many troubles the enemies caused God\u2019s people as they rebuilt the city walls and gates \u2013 and the many times the enemies plans were thwarted because of the prayers of Nehemiah and God\u2019s people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with the threats from the enemies to come in and kill God\u2019s people, they remained to the task of building \u2013 many with sword or spear in hand. Nevertheless, God was with them, the gates were built, and then the walls were finished in fifty-two days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help us remember that Nehemiah helped rebuild the walls in gates around Jerusalem, we built a “wall with gates” out of construction paper. We then added the verses Nehemiah 6:15-16 at the top.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
