    Prayer, preparation, and a passion for the cause of God are the keys to Israel's defense under Nehemiah.

    We’re skipping over chapter 3, which consists of a roster of those engaged in the work effort. Nehemiah has his workers carefully organized to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The Hebrew word for “rebuild” was also used for the healing of a wound. Nehemiah divides the work into ...read more

    What principles did Nehemiah use when he was building the wall? We will learn about those principles that will help us to build and advance the Kingdom of God.

    In 2002, Jim Collins & Jerry Porras wrote a book that rocked the corporate world, Built to Last. In it they laid out what makes truly exceptional companies different from comparison companies. In Nehemiah 4, we meet a man who lived 2500 years ago and built a wall that still stands to this day. ...read more

    If we are honest with God, there are a lot of things in our lives which are halfway finished. Halfway is one of the most difficult places to be. Now the 4th chapter is about persevering through resistance and opposition. The closer you get to the finish l

    Reconstruction: fortifying our vulnerable places Nehemiah 4:7-23 I bumped into some friends I used to play sand volleyball with at Luke’s basketball game last weekend.

    Close The Gaps - Circle The Wagons

    Contributed by Val Black on Oct 21, 2019
     | 7,046 views

    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

    Despite opposition Nehemiah keeps them building. He organises the work to go on. We too experience opposition but can trust God to help us to persevere.

    Sermon by Rev George Hemmings Sometimes you read these stories from the Old Testament and they seem so remote, so removed from our modern world that you wonder whether they can have any relevance for us.

    As followers of Jesus we MUST stand firm in the struggle against evil just as Nehemiah did in his work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.

    Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV) 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And ...read more

    Every day in some way, you are a part of a team. Today, I want to take you to the Old Testament and introduce you to an ordinary guy named Nehemiah. He was one of the most effective team builders in the Bible. He understood the importance of working together and finishing strong.

    The Body of Christ in America needs to be renewed in 2021. They need to follow the example of Nehemiah who returned to Jerusalem by the direction of the Lord to rebuild, restore, rejuvenate, and to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

    There will always be resistance to the work of God, and ridicule and violence are the weapons of the enemy (esp. to the Gospel). Being prepared for the attack is our calling, using the weapons of prayer and scripture.

    Introduction - Nehemiah is a great study of leadership; also shows obedience to God - Remember we saw Nehemiah’s assessing of the project before him, and, -- He also revealed the mission God had given him to his team -- We also noted that the job would be tough … and there would be ...read more

    Construction Site Or Warzone?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 25, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,073 views

    God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. Any church that rebuilds becomes a construction site, which is a warzone for spiritual battle. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

    Last week I mentioned how I believe that God is calling us to rebuild our fellowship after a series of setbacks. This means that our church is currently sitting smack dab in the middle of a spiritual construction site. I remember how I once pastored a church where we built a multipurpose ...read more

    Every good work faces resistance. God’s people must build and battle; pray and work. Courage and perseverance are needed for the expected spiritual warfare, not based on us, but based in trust in Jesus Christ.
