Friday Bible Study (7/31/26) // *Nehemiah 5:1-6* (ESV) // *Nehemiah Stops Oppression of the Poor* // 1 Now there arose a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers. 2 For there were those who said, “With our sons and our daughters, we are many. So let us get grain, that we may eat and keep alive.” 3 There were also those who said, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses to get grain because of the famine.” 4 And there were those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king's tax on our fields and our vineyards. 5 Now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children are as their children. Yet we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but it is not in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards.”6 I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.#Nehemiah #BookOfNehemiah #BibleStudy #BibleExplained #Bible #BiblicalStudies #BibleTeacher #WordOfGod #BiblicalLessons #BibleJournal #BibleReading #BibleStudyNotes #biblestudycommunity #ChicagoChurch #BibleVerseWebsite: https://mbchicago.org *FOLLOW US* Facebook: https://facebook.com/mbc.chicago Instagram: https://instagram.com/mbc.chicago TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@mbc.chicago Podcasts: Listen on Apple, Spotify & others *TO SUPPORT US* Zelle to: info@mbchicago.org Web: https://mbchicago.org/give Venmo: https://venmo.com/mbchurch DAF Donations: https://every.org/mbc.chicago PayPal/Credit: https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=AA74AC7V5WYMJ*Chapters and main sections of the message:*00:00:00 - Introduction: The Greatest Fear of a Preacher00:01:28 - Opening Prayer00:03:10 - Context: The Oppositions Faced by Nehemiah00:04:18 - Parallel with the Book of Acts: External vs. Internal Opposition00:09:28 - Scripture Reading: Nehemiah 5:1-700:10:59 - The "Great Outcry": Comparing Nehemiah 5 to Exodus 300:13:26 - When Christians Treat Each Other Like Enemies (Galatians 5: 15)00:17:09 - Breakdown of the Three Specific Complaints:00:17:24 - 1.

Friday Bible Study (4/17/26) // Nehemiah 1:1-3 (ESV) // Report from Jerusalem // 1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the citadel, 2 that Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews who escaped, who had survived the exile, and concerning Jerusalem. 3 And they said to me, “The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and shame. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire.”Website: https://mbchicago.org FOLLOW USFacebook: / mbc.chicago Instagram: / mbc.chicago TikTok: / mbc.chicago TO SUPPORT US Zelle to: info@mbchicago.org Website: https://mbchicago.org/give Venmo: https://venmo.com/mbchurch DAF Donations: https://every.org/mbc.chicago PayPal: https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_but... #Nehemiah #BookOfNehemiah #BibleStudy #BibleExplained #Bible #BiblicalStudies #BibleTeacher #WordOfGod #BiblicalLessons #rebuild #Jerusalem #walls
