     | 703 views

    Have you ever felt like the Lord wasn’t listening? I know I have. I’ve had times when it felt like my prayer just bounced off the ceiling and came down upon my head again. I think it’s one of those things that everyone experiences from time to time.

    Godly leaders must possess humility, patience, and tact, just like Nehemiah. How we approach any situation, and the attitude we possess, will greatly affect our ability to lead and enjoy success.

    The Humility of a Godly Leader Nehemiah 2: 1-8 In the previous chapter, Nehemiah was made aware of the desperate situation in Jerusalem. While he was far removed from the city and the difficulties facing the remnant who had returned, Nehemiah was deeply burdened for the needs of the city and the ...read more

     | 942 views

    When facing an enemy, we must be wearing the proper gear for battle.

    You cannot stand against the enemy without your battle rattle. You must be wearing the whole armor of God. The battle is not a natural one, therefore natural weapons are ineffective. Spiritual battles are fought with spiritual weapons. The armor has a purpose, our responsibility is to put it ...read more

    The Problem That Did Not Prosper

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 24, 2022
     | 911 views

    We do not need to let our fears control us. By doing so we make our fears come in front of God. We need to recognize that God is stronger than our fears and when He has called us to do something, He will help us in doing that task.

Many decades prior, Zerubbabel was able to get the Jerusalem Temple rebuilt. Some years later, Ezra had returned to Jerusalem to help with the spiritual needs of the people. Now ...read more

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 12, 2022
     | 957 views

    Disapproval and discouragement can result from ridicule. We should choose not to respond in the same manner or to become discouraged when we are ridiculed for our faith or criticized for doing what we know is right.

    Many years prior to Nehemiah’s time, the Northern Kingdom had been conquered and many were taken captive to other lands. The conquering nation introduced prisoners from other lands, which led to intermarriage with the few Israelites. This blending of the races produced the people known as the ...read more

    Jesus teaches us that our prayers need to be daring.

    It has been said the prayer is the greatest secret weapon of the church today. Great, because God promises to answer prayer. Secret, because most Christians do not know how prayer works. Our Lord’s disciples had asked Jesus to teach them to pray (v. 1). As part of His answer, Jesus shared a ...read more

    After Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He shared some parables about our persistence in prayer and the certainty of God’s great gift in answer--the Holy Spirit.

    For someone who doesn’t have a lot to be proud of, I’m afraid that I have to confess that I have acted with pride far too often in my life. Now, I don’t mean that I’ve surrounded myself with a “posse” of fans and supporters. I don’t mean that I’ve deliberately put anybody down or ignored them ...read more

    We need to be willing to pray for as long as it takes. Pray that it will take long enough and be hard enough for God to receive all of the glory.

    Introduction On the Swedish Island of Visingso, there is a mysterious forest of oak trees; mysterious because oak trees aren’t indigenous to the island and its origin was unknown for more than a century.
