Nehemiah Series - Rebuilding Walls of Worship & the Word - Sermon 6

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!"

Nehemiah Series - Facing Opposition - Sermon 4

            In the face of the obstacles to building, in the face of the opposition to building, the people remained united.  They stayed diligent, watchful, unified, and committed.  They knew it was a big job.  That was undeniable.  They could see the incredible task before them every day when they woke up.  Just the same, it is a huge work that we strive to do to build the walls we should all along the way.  But do not be discouraged.  When you need help or strength or encouragement, sound the call, and we should come a running! Keep those communication lines open.  Don’t let the enemy sow seeds of conflict and mistrust and isolation!  In fact, it sounds like Nehemiah walked the wall with a man carrying a trumpet and when the attacks came, he would sound the call and the people would come-a-running to stand together in the face of the opposition.  Day and night they did not falter or fail or quit or divide.  And the work went onward. 

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?
