Nehemiah 12: The joy of Jerusalem is our joy.

Rev. Dr. Michael Morehouse of Catalina Lutheran Church in Tuscon, Arizona joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to joyfully study Nehemiah 12.

The LORD’s grace was upon real people in real time. The priests were gathered, the wall was being dedicated, the people purified, choirs were singing with jubilation, and there was great joy. The LORD likes order and chooses people to be placed in the right “office” to assure that people are protected and able to keep their eyes fixed on Him. We pray that the Lord would help us keep order that we may rejoice in His grace upon us right now. “Almighty God, Your grace in Christ showers upon us each day. Help us to keep order as to serve Your people according to Your love. Purify us so that by Your Word we purify others with Your forgiveness on account of Christ. Lord have mercy. Amen”
