Nehemiah Series - Resolving Internal Conflict - Sermon 5




The only way we are going to serve successfully and answer the call to build the walls in the face of external opposition and internal conflict is by humbling ourselves to serve one another in the humility, meekness, and love of Christ.  Nehemiah demonstrated it and the Apostles reiterated it: The Return to Selflessness is the key to it all. 

So when we face internal conflict in our individual lives, in our marriages, in our families, in our homes, and even in our work places and communities, let’s remember to:
1.    Remove the Ambiguity – Walk in Truth
2.    Recognize the Impact of our Choices – Personally, Spiritually, and Publicly
3.    Respond with Repentance and Restoration – As Required
4.    Return to Selflessness – As a Way of Life

How Is Your Spiritual Plumbing?

Listen as Pastor Rick relates a tongue-in-cheek message with a very real and important meaning.



"We cannot afford to have blockages in our spiritual plumbing that make a mess of everything.  We cannot spiritually succeed with sin, selfishness, unforgiveness, doubt, disobedience, fear, neglect, out of order families, unwilling hearts, or even under the crushing pressure of life without the strength of Christ.  So I urge us all today to intentionally put His Word in our hearts, open our ears to His Spirit, and surrender ourselves completely to His control.  Let Him in to inspect/clear/maintain our spiritual pipes so that His love and power can flow in/out of our lives."
