REBUILDING THE RUINS
Message #6: Eggs and Bacon

Dr. McKay Caston, Lead Pastor of Preaching and Leadership

NEHEMIAH 4:10-23
10 Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, "The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot
rebuild the wall." 11 Also our enemies said, "Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them
and put an end to the work." 12 Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, "Wherever you turn, they
will attack us." 13 Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting
them by families, with their swords, spears and bows. 14 After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the
ofcials and the rest of the people, "Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and ght for your
brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes." 15 When our enemies heard that we were aware of their
plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to his own work. 16 From that day on, half of my men did
the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The ofcers posted themselves behind all
the people of Judah 17 who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a
weapon in the other, 18 and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the
trumpet stayed with me. 19 Then I said to the nobles, the ofcials and the rest of the people, "The work is extensive and spread
out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. 20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there.
Our God will ght for us!" 21 So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the rst light of dawn till the stars
came out. 22 At that time I also said to the people, "Have every man and his helper stay inside Jerusalem at night, so they can
serve us as guards by night and workmen by day." 23 Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our
clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water. (NIV84)
