It explores Nehemiah's prayer and Nehemiah's spiritual ambition followed by the building of the wall and the spiritual wall. It highlights love of the poor alongside unjust scandals against Nehemiah before explaining organising the service with mass repentance and confessions of sins. The text details the renewal of the covenant for the inhabitants of Jerusalem building the new Jerusalem and Nehemiah's final adjustments. Nehemiah was an ordinary servant whose deep love achieved greatness and if we had his heart we could correct many things.
