Nehemiah
Jerusalem's walls had been broken for 140 years when Nehemiah wept over news that should not have surprised him. God moved his heart to act. What followed was not just the physical rebuilding of stone and mortar, but a profound spiritual awakening among God's people. Nehemiah faced opposition from without and corruption from within. He led with prayer, confronted sin boldly, and called Israel back to covenant faithfulness. Through it all, he points us to Jesus, the true kingdom builder who conquers every scheme of Satan and offers us the ultimate Sabbath rest. This series challenges us to move from conviction to action, to guard against spiritual amnesia, and to trust that God's grace is sufficient for every impossible task He calls us to.
A wall unbuilt for 140 years, a people in disgrace, and one man's grief-stricken prayer that dares to ask the impossible. God's character is the foundation for audacious faith.
God holds the hearts of kings and loved ones alike. Even the most impossible situations yield to persistent, faithful prayer offered to a Father who already loves you more than you know.
When God lays something on your heart, how do you move from conviction to action? Discover practical wisdom for counting the cost, inspiring others, and standing firm when opposition comes.
Where God is at work, opposition often follows. Yet the battle has already been won, and Christ calls His people to stand firm with prayer, alertness, and determination.
True repentance goes beyond feeling guilty. It means turning from sin, making things right, and building your life on Jesus, the cornerstone who tears down and rebuilds everything.
When opposition to God's work intensifies, faithfulness requires recognising the enemy's tactics: diversion, defamation, and the temptation to compromise holiness.
Water, light, celebration. Ancient festivals pointed to something greater. God's glory doesn't wait for us to reach up. He came down and tabernacled among us.
True prayer flows from knowing who God is, who we are before Him, and the freedom grace brings. When we grasp these realities, our prayer lives overflow with honesty, humility, and joy.
Spiritual renewal demands more than emotion. It requires specific, costly changes in our marriages, work, finances, and church commitments that prove God truly has first place.
God's people are never called to tolerate sin. Nehemiah 13 shows what happens when compromise creeps into the church and how righteous anger can lead to genuine reform.
Why did Nehemiah get so angry when people worked on the Sabbath? Join us as we explore God's gift of rest, how sin corrupts it, and how Jesus offers us the ultimate Sabbath rest.
Wrapping up Nehemiah, KJ challenges us on marriage, calling believers to put Christ first even when it costs. A hard word, yes, but full of grace for those who need it most.
