    Close The Gaps - Circle The Wagons

    Contributed by Val Black on Oct 21, 2019

    God's work never goes forward without opposition from the enemy. In fact, opposition is almost always caused by success and not failure. In building the walls of Jerusalem, Nehemiah faced much opposition but he knew what to do and now we can know also.

    Nehemiah 4:7-23 (NLT) “But when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites heard that the work was going ahead and that the gaps in the wall of Jerusalem were being repaired, they were furious. 8  They all made plans to come and fight against Jerusalem and throw us into ...read more

    Our Key verse for this series is: - James 4:8, “Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you.” - God desires for us to be close to Him, to share intimacy with Him Intimacy is a strange word. When you think of the word intimacy, what do you think? - Most people immediately associate the ...read more

    Laodicea was the second of the seven churches of Asia to receive no commendation from the Lord. Such a state requires us to look very carefully at this church, which lived within an affluent society whose attitudes clearly rubbed off on the church.
