Host: Dave Jenkins
Date: Thursday, December 18, 2025
Passage: Nehemiah 12:1–47 (ESV)
Theme: Dedication and Joyful Worship
Show Summary
In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we look at Nehemiah 12 and the joyful
dedication of the rebuilt wall of Jerusalem. The people of God gather with choirs, instruments, and
sacrifices to celebrate the Lord’s faithfulness. Their worship is not focused on the wall itself, but on
the God who has restored and preserved them.
Dave walks through the chapter and shows how this scene of dedication, joy, and purification points us to
Christ and calls us to present our lives as a living sacrifice of worship to God.
