Confession
Nehemiah 9:30-37
The people confess that their sins and offer praise to the Lord. Confession is therapeutic, true, but it is also biblical. Not one of us has lived into God’s call perfectly. We have not obeyed his commands perfectly. We have all, at times, worked against the work that God is doing in our hearts and the hearts of our neighbor. Let us confess. Let us praise. Let us take joy in the forgiveness that our God freely gives to us.
A Place For You
Nehemiah 3:6-12
Nehemiah has arrived in Jerusalem, and it’s time to build the walls. Not everyone is a trained wall-builder, so who will do the work? It wasn’t all trained laborers. God calls and equips ALL. When the needs of the ministry are obvious, are we willing to listen to the call of God and do the work?
The Need for Restoration
Nehemiah Chapter 1
The Lord puts upon Nehemiah’s heart the need for restoration of Jerusalem’s walls. He confesses to God. God opens doors. He walks through them. Are we willing to see the work that needs to be done? Are we willing to walk through the doors that God opens?
Mission
Acts 1:8
Theme: As the Early church lived out being the Early Church, God added to their number generously. God didn’t stop wanting to save people. His mission didn’t end in Acts 2. God is still growing his church and we have been called to be part of the church, part of the missional arm of the body of Christ.
