Nehemiah 3: Every Heart Needs a Wall

Season 16 Episode 3

Why would God dedicate an entire book of the Bible to building a wall? 

The answer reveals something profound about protection, redemption, and the very heart of our relationship with God.

In this episode of Nehemiah 3, we explore why rebuilding Jerusalem's wall wasn't just about physical safety. It's about protecting the Temple, God's dwelling place, and the eternal salvation of His people. You'll discover the spiritual significance of each gate, from the Sheep Gate where sacrificial lambs entered to the mysterious East Gate where Jesus fulfills Ezekiel's prophecy about the return of divine glory.

In this episode discover: 

  • How Nehemiah's wall protected both earthly life and eternal life for God's people.
  • The prophetic connection between the East Gate, Ezekiel's vision, and Jesus reversing humanity's eastward exile from God.
  • Why guarding the hearts of those you love, the modern temples where God dwells, requires you to be both a strong wall and a wise gatekeeper

Today, God no longer dwells in a temple made of stone. He dwells in our hearts. Who is God calling you to protect?
