Additional Bible Study Questions

Note: A small number of discussion questions will be given each week (see page 9).
These addtional Bible study questions (page 10) are optional, and intended as supplemental
questions for group or individual study. They carry an emphasis on life application.

5. The list of the builders of the wall has a lot of unfamiliar names (at least to us). To them, this
was the team Nehemiah assembled to do God’s work, to respond to the needs and rebuilt the
city. Many of the workers had specialized trades. ➤ How many different crafts or trades can
you find among the list of workers in Nehemiah 3?

6. What criteria did Nehemiah use in deciding who would work where (see 3:10, 28, 30)?

7. How did the leaders set an example for the rest of the people (3:1)?

8. God’s work of “building” continues today, by the Spirit and through the Body of Christ. For
personal study, reflect on Ephesians 4:7-16 and Romans 12:1-8, which are the NT
equivalents of the team building as in Nehemiah 3.
