Build Up Our Gates: Knowing Jesus and Making Him Known

June 2, 2024 / Pastor Brian Greenleaf / Nehemiah 2-3 / Washington Alliance Church

Nehemiah 2:11-3:5

Review: Nehemiah 1-2

Prayer without a plan is faithless; planning without prayer is arrogance.

The God who loved you enough to save you, has a purpose for your life.

There are times we must wait on the Lord before sharing what He has put on our hearts.

Overall Theme:

All starts with the of the Lamb.

Build Up Your Gates

Sheep Gate

The only gate that was dedicated/sanctified
The only gate built from the ground up with no locks, bolts, or bars
Jesus, in the great exchange, became the innocent life for the guilty ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! (1 Peter 3:18)

Fish Gate

The gate where fishermen would bring their catch to be sold at the marketplace
A main entrance to Jerusalem that both Jew and Gentile would enter
As with his disciples, Jesus wants to make us “” (Matt 4:18-22, 28:19)
