Nehemiah Series - Preparing to Rebuild - Sermon 2

Are you Prepared to Serve?  Are you Prepared to Rebuild?  Are you ready to answer God’s call to build up what is torn down in your life, in your home, in your relationships, in our church, in our community? 

Are You Listening?

"The English word “listen” only appears once in the King James Bible in Isaiah 49:1.  But the Hebrew word from which it is translated, shama, occurs 1072 times in the Old Testament.  A similar word is the Hebrew word, qashab, which occurs 45 times in the Old Testament.  So over 1,117 times hearing or listening is mentioned in the Old Testament.  In the New Testament the Greek word akouo, which means to hear or understand, is used 402 times.  So over 1500 times in this book, the idea of hearing or listening is mentioned.  That’s a lot!"

A Disciple of Christ

"To become a disciple of Christ is a serious matter.  It is far more than a little prayer and handshake with a preacher.  It is more than an emotional baptism experience captured on video.  It is more than taking communion on a Sunday.  True discipleship is far more than a feel-good idea or brief ritual.  Discipleship demands abandonment of oneself to the Savior and His way.  In fact it is a continual living expression of devotion to the first commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before Me."


Listen as Pastor Rick shares principles of discipleship from the words of Jesus Himself.

He Is Able

Inspired by Priscilla Shirer's Book titled "God Is Able," listen as Pastor Rick shares an encouraging message about what it means to really trust the Lord.

"I have realized that this is where I am: with the great need to recognize that not only does God exist and not only can I know about Him, but I need to know Him in the present power of His resurrection that transforms who I am, how I view everything, and how I respond to everything in my life.  I need to truly believe His word that He is more than able and more than willing to work on my behalf and in behalf of all the needy people around me.  I need to come to Him in that belief and welcome Him to go to work in my life and in the lives of those around me."

Pastor Rick begins a new series today called "Words of Earth - Wisdom of Heaven."  Each sermon in this series will spring from a common phrase in our culture to explore a Biblical truth.  It is our hope that when you hear these phrases in the future you will not only think of them in an earthly context, but also from a heavenly perspective.  Today's message: "Just Do It."

What is God calling you to do?  To follow Him?  To witness for Him?  To obey Him?  Just do it!
