     | 10,612 views

    Nehemiah has to face the challenges of doing something he was not familiar with but it is the will of God. He has to inspect the wall, motivate the people and contend with the oppositions.

    We had a remarkable breakthrough in chapter 2 when Nehemiah was granted the opportunity to see the King, after 4 months of praying and waiting. • Even with all that praying, it wasn’t a simple thing for Nehemiah to seek the King’s favour. He was very much afraid (2:2). • Imagine asking for leave ...read more

    This sermon teaches that God, motivated by His own delight, eternally planned to adopt us as His children through the work of Jesus Christ.

    Introduction In our world, adoption is one of the most beautiful pictures of love. A child, often with no hope for a family, is deliberately chosen, given a new name, a new home, and a new future. Last week, we saw from verse 4 that God has chosen us. Today, in verse 5, Paul reveals the incredible ...read more
