Nehemiah Part 18: There Is Much Rubbish! I (Neh. 4:10)
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 29, 2025)
(NOTE: Although we have already posted this sermon separately, we felt it appropriate to repost it here in order to keep the order of our Exposition of Nehemiah logically flowing.)
In our study of the Book of Nehemiah, we have been looking at the efforts of the children of Israel to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after returning from the Babylonian Captivity. We have seen that, very soon into the project, the laborers became discouraged, not just because of persecution, but also because there was “much rubbish” laying around from when the walls were torn down. “Rubbish” that gets in the way of the work often causes discouragement. Join us as we begin to look at the fact that there is “much rubbish” that must be dealt with today.
