  • Working With The Lord's Help Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013
     | 7,053 views

    It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react with anger, ridicule, and rejection. Nehemiah gives us a great example of how we need to respond when the enemies of God oppose His work.

    In this lesson, I would like to look at the leadership of Nehemiah through the hardship and opposition that the people went through. They had opposition from outside and discouragement from inside, yet they got the job done. It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react ...read more

    So you what to be a sheep, baa, baa, baa, ba?

    Sermon for John 10:1-10 Fourth Sunday in Easter April 13h 2008 I love being a Lutheran. Martin Luther is one of my heroes.

    The church in Antioch was filled with "real" Christians and shows us what a biblical church looks like.

    * The book of Acts holds up a mirror to our church today so we can get an accurate picture of how well we are functioning as a biblical church. * Many outward things about the church has changed in 2000 years, but what the church is and what we are to do has not...nor will it ever. * Yet a ...read more

    Learning how to be the church in today's world through learning from the book of Acts.

    [2] Has God ever asked you to do something that was really hard? You knew God wanted you to do something, but you had a difficult time following through. Even though you knew it was the right thing to do; that it was God’s thing to do; but you just couldn’t do it? [Seeing car with ...read more

    The church is at its best when the church is bold.

    Last week we took a few moments to study the first opposition the early church experienced. The big take away from our time together was that there is a spiritual dimension to life whereby Satan, the enemy of God, wages war against Him and all the good that He has given the world. The war that ...read more

    Some reflections on Nehemiah's opponents, Sanballat and Tobiah; sermon for a church about to vote on a building program.

    Last week as we spoke about Nehemiah and God’s vision for the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s wall, I hope one theme came through loud and clear: When God wants something, He’s going to get what He wants. The only question for us is, “Who is on the Lord’s side?” In ...read more

    Trusting God for direction and leading when we are not sure of the way.

    Breakthrough Anointing 1 Chronicles 14:8-17 David was a man after God's own heart. I like that enduring quality about David. Although he had his faults he still had a heart after God.

    We need God to bring divine imbalance to us so that we become more dependent upon Him and less on our comfort zone.
