Nehemiah

Sermon

Keep Building God’s House

Because our hearts are prone to wander, it is important for us to keep building God’s house. Nehemiah 13 teaches us to build God’s house with distinction, generosity and trust.
Big Idea: Keep Building God’s House
  1. With distinction
  2. With generosity
  3. With trust

Sermon

Rededication

When a community has been in decline or some good habits have fallen off, rededication is often in order. This passage shows us how to rededicate our church to the Lord.

Sermon

Recovenanting

For love to really flourish, commitment and accountability are necessary. They’re also scary. In this passage, we see what rebuilding a church community through recovenanting looks like.

Sermon

Repentance

Typically when confronted with wrongdoing in our lives, we minimized our fault while exacerbating others’. In this passage, we see true repentance is the opposite: Honesty about God’s goodness and our fault, but with ultimate hope in God’s goodness.

Sermon

Always Reforming

Any time you talk about rebuilding a community, you have traditionalists who want to keep everything the same and revolutionaries who want to rip up everything. When rebuilding the church however, we’re not after traditionalism or revolution: We’re after reformation.

Sermon

Rejoicing When You Don’t Feel Like It

Don’t you sometimes just not feel like coming to church or rejoicing in the Lord? In this passage, God’s people didn’t either, but they were still called to, and given good reasons to. This shows us that rebuilding requires rejoicing.

Sermon

Rebuilding Requires Regathering

As we move in the book of Nehemiah from a focus on rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem to a focus on rebuilding the people of Jerusalem, what do we find Nehemiah doing? Regathering the people.

Sermon

Finishing the Work

The focus of the book of Nehemiah thus far has been on rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. In this passage the wall rebuilding project is finished, but there is still more work to do. How do we finish well when it always seems like there is more to do?

Sermon

Rebuilding Relationships

The most visible rebuilding project in Nehemiah is the wall, but what good is a strong wall if the relationships of the people meant to live in it are in shambles? This passage in Nehemiah shows us why rebuilding means rebuilding our relationships.

Sermon

When the Haters Hate

We’ve all probably heard the saying, “Haters gon’ hate.” Anything you do, there will be someone who doesn’t like it. Building up Jesus’ church is no different. In this passage, we learn how to keep going even when the haters hate.

A Call to Rebuild

When we sense there is something God wants us to do, getting started can be the hardest part. This is especially the case when we’re rebuilding something that’s broken. In this passage, we see the actual work of rebuilding get started; so let’s rise and build together.

How Rebuilding Begins

2020 was a hard year in many ways, and 2021 thus far has brought its own difficulties. Even our church has not been unaffected. How do we begin rebuilding? Nehemiah shows us that rebuilding begins with prayer.
