This 12-episode series takes place on a construction site where children can explore the book of Nehemiah, his mission of re-building the walls of Jerusalem, and how we can trust in and thank the Lord for who he is and what he has done.
Bernie leaves Ben’s house in a mess while he is away. Even though Ben showed great generosity, Bernie still took him for granted. God’s people needed to work hard at living in God’s way, and had to be reminded of God’s Word and their identity once again.
The house is finally done, and there is a ceremony to celebrate! God’s people in Nehemiah’s time also thanked and celebrated God and his provision!
Ben welcomes Bernie into his home, despite the number of times he tried to stop their building work. This episode demonstrates the forgiveness and kindness of God to us, even when we consistently mess up.
Bernie gets caught stealing tools from Tommy, but is immediately sorry for doing so. God loves it when we are sorry and repent, and he continues to love and forgive us when we mess up.
Ben helps Bernie out by reading the instruction manual to assemble a cement mixer. God’s people in Jerusalem listened for hours to God’s Word, so they returned to living in the way that God instructs.
Before Ben properly moves into his new home, he counts up all of his possessions to make sure he has everything he needs (and throws out anything he doesn’t need).
The remarkable story of God’s power and Nehemiah’s faith, as they managed to finish building in just 52 days!
Arguments are breaking out in Ben’s construction site - what will he do to keep the peace? When Nehemiah’s team faced internal quarrelling, he had to remind them of God’s goodness and provision up to that point.
Ben is in danger! Bernie is attempting crazy stunts to try and stop Ben and Tommy from building. He needs to protect his workers, just as Nehemiah had to protect God’s people while their enemies were threatening them.
In the process of rebuilding, Bernie tries to help but he just makes a mess and destroys things. Nehemiah also faced different sorts of people on his team, yet he still knew that God would ensure that the work would be completed.
Ben and Tommy are worried that they won’t get the house done, because Bernie is trying to stop them! As they learn about Nehemiah, they hear of how he trusted that God would do what he promised - he just needed to trust and obey God.
Meet Ben the Builder and Tommy the Toolbox as they begin their adventure into rebuilding a whole house. They find out about Nehemiah’s plans to rebuild Jerusalem, and how he prayed to God for people to help them.
