ZusammenfassungDie Predigt behandelt Nehemia Kapitel 3 und 4 und zeigt den Wiederaufbau der Jerusalemer Stadtmauer als Bild für Wiederherstellung und treuen Dienst. Der Beginn am Schaftor symbolisiert Opfer und Gottes erneuernde Kraft. Gläubige werden ermutigt, ihre aktuelle Aufgabe treu anzunehmen – auch wenn Zweifel, mangelnde Anerkennung oder Widerstände auftreten. Fleiß, Teamarbeit und Ausdauer stehen im Mittelpunkt. Wie bei Jesus und der frühen Gemeinde folgt Erweckung auf beständige Grundlagenarbeit. Alles soll von Herzen für den Herrn getan werden, im Vertrauen auf Gottes Plan und Timing.Kernpunkte1.

Zusammenfassung Die Botschaft zeigt, wie Gott Israel durch Ezra geistlich und durch Nehemia praktisch erneuerte. Sie ruft zur persönlichen und gemeinschaftlichen Selbstprüfung, zur Umkehr von Sünde und zur Ausrichtung auf Gottes Willen auf – auch im Umgang mit Geld und Verantwortung in der Gemeinde.Key PointsEzra war geistlicher Leiter und lehrte das Gesetz Gottes.Er konfrontierte die Sünde der Mischehen, die den Glauben gefährdeten.Nehemia war politischer und organisatorischer Leiter.Er baute die Mauern Jerusalems wieder auf, nachdem das Volk umgekehrt war.Der zerstörte Zustand Jerusalems spiegelte den geistlichen Zustand des Volkes wider.Nehemia reagierte mit Trauer, Fasten und Gebet.Geistliche Selbstprüfung ist nötig, um Sünde zu erkennen und Gott treu zu bleiben.Genannte Sünden: sexuelle Unmoral, Zorn, Heuchelei, Lieblosigkeit, Verantwortungslosigkeit.Die Gemeinde unterstützt ihre geistlichen Leiter nicht biblisch korrekt.Biblisches Prinzip: Wer dem Evangelium dient, soll vom Evangelium leben.Jesu Lehre über Geld zielt auf Herzensveränderung, nicht auf Geld selbst.

Renewal doesn't begin with rebuilding. It begins with honesty.In Nehemiah 2:11–20, Nehemiah arrives in Jerusalem and does something unexpected. He doesn't GIVE a speech. He doesn't announce a plan. In the middle of the night, he quietly surveys the ruins. His actions remind us of something very important: before anything can be restored, God's people must be willing to face what is broken and trust Him with what comes next.In this week's sermon, entitled "Searching the Shadows," Pastor Brian reminds us that renewal begins when we stop pretending, take an honest look at the ruins, and place our confidence not in ourselves, but in the faithfulness of God.

In dieser Shredder-Sonntag-Folge spricht David Rominger über innere Räume, verborgene Kompromisse und den Weg in echte geistliche Freiheit. Anhand von Nehemia wird deutlich, wie falsche Einflüsse Raum im Herzen gewinnen – und wie dieser Raum durch Demut, Wahrheit und das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes wieder gereinigt werden kann. Freiheit beginnt dort, wo klare geistliche Entscheidungen getroffen werden. Bibelstellen • Nehemia 13,3–9 • Nehemia 13,6–7 • Nehemia 2,20 • 1.

The Gemara (Rosh Hashanah 11a) lists several events that occurred on the date of Rosh Hashanah, the first of Tishreh. These include Sara conceiving with a child at the age of 90, after decades of infertility and desperate longing for a child. For this reason, we read on the first day of Rosh Hashanah the story of the birth of Sara's son, Yishak Abinu. The Gemara also mentions that Rosh Hashanah was the day when Yosef was released from prison in Egypt. He had been imprisoned when Potifar's wife falsely charged that he assaulted her, and Yosef spent 12 years in the dungeon, until he was brought before Pharaoh to interpret the king's mysterious dreams. This led to his being named Pharaoh's vizier. It was on Rosh Hashanah, the Gemara teaches, that Yosef was brought out of prison and taken before Pharaoh. This event is alluded to in the 81 st chapter of Tehillim, which – for good reason – is the chapter we read as the "Shir Shel Yom" (daily Psalm) on Rosh Hashanah. We find in this chapter references to both the sounding of the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah ("Tik'u Ba'hodesh Shofar" – verse 4), and Yosef's emergence as the leader of Egypt ("Edut Bi'Yehosef Samo Be'seto Al Eretz Misrayim" – verse 6) – clearly indicating that Yosef left prison on Rosh Hashanah. The Maharsha (Rav Shmuel Eidels, 1555-1631), in his commentary to Masechet Rosh Hashanah, draws a curious connection between these two events – Sara's conception, and Yosef's rise to power in Egypt. In the aforementioned chapter in Tehillim, Yosef's name appears with an extra letter Heh, such that it is written "Yehosef" instead of "Yosef." The Maharsha writes that this extra letter came from Sara, whose name ended with a Heh. Additionally, the Maharsha adds, according to the wisdom of Kabbalah, the letter Heh at the end of G-d's Name (the Name of "Havaya") signifies the concept of Malchut, kingship, and it was thus added to Yosef's name when he ascended to a position of royalty in Egypt. The commentators explain further that Sara's name, as we know, was originally "Sarai," which ended with the letter Yod, and it was later changed to "Sara," which ends with Heh. The letter Yod in Gematria equals 10, and it was divided into two Hehs, as the letter Heh in Gematria equals 5. One was given to Sara, and the other was given to Yosef. The question then becomes, why did specifically these two figures receive the letter Heh? What is their particular connection to this letter, which expresses the theme of Malchut? The answer lies in the fact that both Sara and Yosef faced numerous hardships over the course of many years, and nevertheless maintained pristine faith in Hashem. Sara was childless for many years, was twice abducted by ruthless kings, and wandered from place to place for much of her life. Yosef was cruelly banished from his home, brought as a slave to Egypt, where he was tempted by his master's wife – and when he refused, she had him imprisoned. As mentioned, he remained in prison for 12 years. Neither Sara nor Yosef ever questioned or challenged G-d's judgment. They fully and wholeheartedly accepted His rule over the world without complaint. And this is the greatest expression of Malchut – unconditional and unreserved submission to, and acceptance of, Hashem's will as the ultimate good. This is why Sara and Yosef are associated with the letter Heh – which signifies Hashem's kingship – and why they are associated with Rosh Hashanah, the day we celebrate Hashem's kingship. This teaches us a crucial lesson about how we must approach Rosh Hashanah. Many people approach this day focused solely on what went wrong during the previous year, and on their hopes and aspirations for the coming year, everything they want to be better during the new year. But they forget about all that went right during the past year, all the wonderful blessings that Hashem had granted them. The Tiferet Shlomo (Rav Shlomo of Radomsk, Poland, 1801-1866) taught that if we want our prayers to be answered, we must first thank Hashem for all the good in our lives before proceeding to ask for what we want. We cannot enter Rosh Hashanah ungratefully, complaining about all that is wrong with our lives, without first acknowledging, appreciating and being thankful for all that is currently right with our lives. After all, Rosh Hashanah is the day when Hashem is crowned anew as king over the universe, an event to which only "VIP members" are invited – and we, Am Yisrael, are the "VIP members." Imagine someone receiving an invitation to attend the Presidential inauguration, and he shows up with a frown, angry and agitated. When he gets a turn to greet the President, he doesn't smile, because he's so upset about whatever it is that's bothering him. He would likely be thrown out of the party, and he certainly would not be invited the next time around... On Rosh Hashanah, we are the special guests at Hashem's "inauguration." And thus Ezra Ha'sofer told the people on Rosh Hashanah, "Hedvat Hashem Hi Ma'uzchem" – that their source of strength and success was their joy and festivity on this day (Nehemia 8:10). We must show up on Rosh Hashanah smiling, celebrating Hashem's kingship, grateful for all He had done for us. Each and every year throughout her years of infertility, Sara joyously celebrated Hashem's kingship on Rosh Hashanah – just as Yosef did each and every year he spent in the dungeon. Of course, they also prayed for what they needed – but not before they felt genuine gratitude for all that they had. Let us enter Rosh Hashanah not only with a "laundry list" of everything we want Hashem to give us, but also with sincere gratitude for all that He has already given us, and we will then be worthy of His continued grace, kindness and blessing, Amen.

In this week's episode, we explore chapters 49–56 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas. With 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring two literary lenses to our analysis, exploring metaphors, foreshadowing, symbolism, narrative devices, plot structure, and imagery. Our guiding question: Have the circumstances and outcomes of Crown of Midnight properly prepared Celaena to begin her journey as Aelin Galathynius? These chapters deliver some of the most pivotal reveals of the Throne of Glass series.

In this week's episode, we explore chapters 49–56 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas. With 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring two literary lenses to our analysis, exploring metaphors, foreshadowing, symbolism, narrative devices, plot structure, and imagery.
