    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

    How we use our gifts are more important than their monetary value. It isn't the size of the gift, it's the motive in the giving!

    Not Our Talents BUT Our Use of Talents Matthew 25:14-30 This parable provides us with a message that can be and often is misunderstood. The talents referred to in the parable are monetary units. A talent was not really a coin at all but rather an ingot, weighing around 75 pounds. At that weight ...read more

    Jonah's experience in the fish's belly motivates him to acknowledge and plead for God's mercy which Jonah was willing to deny Nineveh from experiencing.

The cause of this predicament was Jonah's original response to God's command. He did not like the idea of doing what God wanted, despite the ...read more

Today, in verse 5, Paul reveals the incredible ...read more
