Elementary Discussion Questions
Could God’s enemies make the people stop rebuilding the wall? Why not?
Discuss how Nehemiah reminded the people that God was with them and would fight for them. Lead kids to understand that God’s people trusted in Him and knew He would help
them finish the wall. Encourage kids to remember that God is with them too and that they can always trust in Him.
Why were Judah’s enemies afraid when the wall was finished?
Explain to kids that 52 days is a very short time to rebuild a wall around an entire city. Help kids understand that the enemies were afraid because only God could help the people build a wall that fast. Lead kids to understand that Israel’s enemies knew God was with His people and would continue to protect them.
What does this story teach us about Jesus?
Help kids understand that just like God protected His people through the rebuilding of the wall, Jesus protects us. Remind kids that we have a spiritual enemy: Satan. Discuss how
Satan wants to destroy those who believe in Jesus, but Jesus protects us from Satan. Remind kids that Jesus also protects us from our enemies sin and death.
