After a break of three weeks, Pastor Rick returns to the Nehemiah Series. In this sermon, Pastor Rick transitions from the lessons learned during the rebuilding of the physical walls of Jerusalem to lessons of the spiritual rebuilding of the nation of Israel.
"...take
hold of the idea that as we work hard to build the walls of strength,
integrity, righteousness, and holiness in our homes and communities we cannot
expect it to be achieved through work alone.
We also must spend the needed time to rebuild the walls of worship and
the WORD individually and collectively.
I urge you to embrace the call to worship privately and publicly. I invite you to saturate yourself and your
life with the WORD of God. Let it guide
every moment, every breath! This is
where Revival and Relationship begin!"
I have been feeling it on
my heart for several months that it was time to do a new series – a time where
we spend several weeks concentrating on a particular section of Scripture. But when you look at doing something like
that, there are so many different paths to go down, where do you begin. So I just kept my heart open and have been
thinking about it and praying about it for a long time. Then, several weeks ago, I heard a message by
Ravi Zacharias titled, “Living a Life Used by God” that was really good. I really appreciated his words and that got
me to thinking about and pondering on this man called Nehemiah. A few weeks ago, we started studying about
Nehemiah in our Godly Men Bible Study using notes from © 2014 – Verse By Verse Ministry International (www.versebyverseministry.org) and today we are going to begin focusing on this
section of Scripture to pull out some lessons from this fascinating story using
information I have also derived from there.
Listen as Pastor Rick talks about the fascinating concepts of the Firstborn, First Fruits, and our Birthright, to discuss Christ's role in each of these areas and what it means to us. Are you a member of the church of the First Born?
Listen as Pastor Rick candidly and simply discusses the importance of the first commandment and shares how important that commandment is today!
Listen as Pastor Dale Keffer (of Virginia Beach, VA) shares Perspectives from Israel. Pastor Keffer's background as a Teacher of Old Testament History stands him in good stead as he shares fascinating perspectives about Biblical geography, history, and writing.
