Nehemiah 7: We are getting the Israelite band back together!

Rev. Lucas Witt, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Baltimore, MD joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Nehemiah 7. The wall is finished, but Nehemiah realizes that this was not time to relax.  He established the offices of gatekeeper, singers, guards, and appointed Levitical priests to prepare for the coming of the exiles back home.  There are many numbers and confusing names, but it reminds us that each person matters to God and He has called you by name---You are mine.  “LORD God, the work is not done, but it is all in Your hands.  Help us to have mercy on all people as You are merciful to the whole world in Christ.  Amen”
