Listen "Nehemiah 13"
Episode Synopsis
In this powerful closing study of Nehemiah Chapter 13, we step into one of the most revealing moments in Old Testament history—the moment when revival fades, covenants are broken, and Nehemiah returns to find the people of God once again compromising their promises.Nehemiah had watched genuine repentance, heartfelt tears, and sacred oaths in chapters 7–12. Leaders signed a covenant to honor God through marriage purity, Sabbath rest, and tithes to the Temple. But just twelve years later, every promise was broken. The revival didn’t last.Here, as the curtain closes on the Old Testament narrative, we see what man-made religion, emotion, and rules can’t do — they can’t conquer sin. Even Nehemiah’s righteous anger, strong leadership, and temple reform can’t change the human heart.But this is where the gospel story begins.Right after Nehemiah… John’s Gospel opens.Where the Old Testament ends with broken promises, the New Testament begins with Jesus Christ, the only One who can truly bring lasting transformation.📖 Key Themes:Nehemiah 13 Bible studyRevival, covenant, and human failureWhy man’s efforts can’t overcome sinThe need for Jesus Christ after the Old TestamentHistorical bridge between Nehemiah and the Gospel of John🎧 Subscribe and follow for more verse-by-verse Bible teaching, Old and New Testament connections, and clear gospel-centered teaching from Calvary Kona.
