Show Summary
In Nehemiah 11, the focus shifts from rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls to rebuilding life within the restored city.
Nehemiah organizes God’s people so that some live in Jerusalem while others remain in surrounding towns.
This chapter reminds us that God not only restores what is broken, He also calls His people to live faithfully,
serve sacrificially, and worship faithfully wherever He places them.
