Ordinary 3: The Joy of the Lord is our Strength (feat. Pr. Mielke)

Trinity Lutheran Church

After the major accomplishment of rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem in 52 days, the Judahites hear the Torah. But instead of a time of celebration, they are deeply grieved and begin to weep. Nehemiah, Ezra and the Levites call to them to celebrate because the Joy of the Lord is our Strength.
