Sermon series: Nehemiah: Rebuilding and Being RebuiltIn the process of being rebuilt, the people have their part to play. They come back to God to renew their covenant commitments. They do this by confessing their sins, celebrating the faithfulness of God, and committing afresh to fulfilling their covenant obligations.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 15 June 2025
What is it that Nehemiah was working for, and what was he trying to accomplish? What steps did he take to do the good work that God had given him, and how can we apply those principles in our own walk with God and work for God today? How is God calling you to build up His Kingdom?
Nehemiah 2-3---Preacher: Pastor Patrick Chosaviorcommunity.com
In this exploration of grief and renewal, we dive into the book of Nehemiah, uncovering God's wisdom for processing loss as people of faith. Nehemiah's heartbreak over Jerusalem's destruction becomes a mirror for our own experiences of pain and sorrow. We learn that grief is not just a physical journey but a spiritual one that can draw us closer to God's heart. This message challenges us to sit with our sorrow, to weep openly, and to bring our raw emotions before God in prayer and fasting. This biblical pattern of grieving reminds us that it's okay to be vulnerable and that our tears can be a powerful testimony to what truly matters to God. As we navigate our seasons of loss, be encouraged to seek not only closure but also divine comfort that strengthens our souls, enabling us to step into our calling even amidst pain. This message speaks to anyone grappling with heartache, offering hope that our Comforter, Jesus Christ, binds up our broken hearts and walks with us on the path of renewal.

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Christmas Vocations Part IIIDevotional: 4 of 4After [the Magi] had heard [King Herod], they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. (Matthew 2:9-10)Today concludes our series exploring the vocations of some of the characters in the Christmas narrative and what they can teach us about our own work today. Today, we end with the famed Star of Bethlehem.Now, I know it's a stretch to say that a star has a “vocation,” but hear me out. Because this star plays a huge part in the Christmas narrative, leading the Magi to find and worship Christ the King.But Scripture makes clear that it's not just this star that does the work of glorifying God. Psalm 19:1-3 says that all “the heavens declare the glory of God…day after day they pour forth speech,” even though “they use no words.”Believer, if inanimate stars can glorify God and give testimony to his awesomeness, you better believe that you—God's image bearer—can do the same through your work.We see evidence that this is true all throughout Scripture. Take Nehemiah as an example. After rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem in an astonishingly fast 52 days, Nehemiah's enemies were forced to give God credit and glory because they “realized that this work had been done with the help of God” (Nehemiah 6:16).Passages like this one point to an important truth: You don't have to be evangelizing with your words to glorify God. You can also glorify him by evangelizing with your work. In what you do—the products of your work—and how you do it—the processes by which you work—you can create cravings in the lost for things that are “true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy” (Philippians 4:8).And the creation of those cravings is good in and of itself. Why? Because if the craving you're creating through your work can only be satisfied in full in Christ, you are setting the lost down a path that dead ends at a single true Source.You and I are called to reflect Christ, “the bright and morning star” in everything we do, including our work. So as we look towards 2025, let me leave you with 5 questions to ponder and journal through to that end:What can you point to that was most “true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy” about your work in 2024? And how can you do more of that in 2025?Where is the Holy Spirit convicting you that your work is not “true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy”? What's one action you can take to rectify that and better reflect Christ next year?If your co-workers were asked to point to evidence that you are a follower of Christ, what would they point to?Which of your co-workers do you feel the Lord leading you to share the gospel with explicitly in 2025?Imagine Jesus is sitting across from you right now. What would he say about your work in 2024? And what feedback would he give you as you head back to the office in 2025?

The Importance of Building A Wall • Sunday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Website: www.PastorTodd.org Church website: www.RRCNashville.org The answer to why it was important to rebuild Jerusalem's walls is found in Nehemiah 1:3. Some Jews who visited Jerusalem returned to Persia and reported to Nehemiah, the king's cupbearer. The men said, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.” After the Babylonian Captivity, a remnant of the Jewish people had returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Ezra. These returned exiles had rebuilt the temple, but they were now in need of protection. The lack of fortified walls around the city left the people defenseless against enemies. Weather, wild animals, opposing people, and other opponents could easily enter and cause “great trouble” to the people. According to the report Nehemiah received, the remnant in Jerusalem was shamed. A city with broken walls revealed a defeated people. The Jews who had returned to their homeland were both in unsafe conditions and humiliated at living in a destroyed city. In Nehemiah 2:17, Nehemiah told the Jewish leaders, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” Also, the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls would show God's blessing upon His people again. Nehemiah quoted God's words to Moses in his prayer, saying, “If you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name” (Nehemiah 1:9). Rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem was an important sign to the enemies of Israel. Nehemiah told their enemies, “The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it” (Nehemiah 2:20). And rebuilding the walls showed that God was with His people. Upon the completion of the walls, Nehemiah wrote, “When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God” (Nehemiah 6:16). The destruction of Jerusalem's walls left its people exposed to great trouble and shame. Rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem was important because it revealed God's blessing, served as a sign to Israel's enemies, and showed God was with His people. let's go through each chapter of the Book of Nehemiah in greater detail: **Chapter 1: Nehemiah's Prayer** - In this chapter, Nehemiah, a cupbearer to the Persian king Artaxerxes, hears about the distressing condition of Jerusalem and its broken walls. - Nehemiah's immediate response is one of deep concern and grief. He weeps, mourns, fasts, and prays to God for forgiveness for his people's sins and for guidance on how to address the situation. - This chapter serves as an introduction to Nehemiah's character, his strong connection to his homeland, and his reliance on prayer as he seeks God's direction. **Chapter 2: Nehemiah's Commission** - Nehemiah, still in the king's service, looks visibly sad. When the king inquires about the reason, Nehemiah explains his concern for Jerusalem. - Remarkably, King Artaxerxes grants Nehemiah permission to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the city's walls. The king even provides him with letters for safe passage and resources. - Nehemiah's commission serves as a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty, as He uses even pagan kings to accomplish His purposes. **Chapter 3: The Wall's Construction** - This chapter provides a detailed account of the people and groups who participated in rebuilding different sections of Jerusalem's wall. - The lists of builders and their contributions underscore the unity and cooperation among the Israelites. Families, priests, and even rulers are involved in the construction. - It emphasizes that rebuilding the wall was a collective effort, reflecting the importance of unity and teamwork among God's people. **Chapter 4: Opposition and Perseverance** - As the wall construction progresses, Sanballat, Tobiah, and other enemies of the Jews become increasingly hostile. They mock and ridicule the builders, seeking to discourage them. - Nehemiah responds with prayer and encourages the people to stay vigilant and continue their work. He sets up a system of defense and assigns armed guards. - This chapter illustrates the reality of opposition and adversity in pursuing God's work but also highlights the importance of perseverance, prayer, and trusting in God's protection. **Chapter 5: Nehemiah Addresses Social Injustice** - In this chapter, Nehemiah addresses internal issues of social injustice among the Jewish community. Some were exploiting their fellow Jews through loans and exorbitant interest rates, leading to financial hardships. - Nehemiah rebukes the oppressors, urging them to return what they had taken and charging them to live in a way that pleases God. - This chapter demonstrates Nehemiah's commitment to justice and fairness, emphasizing the need for God's people to care for the marginalized and vulnerable. **Chapter 6: Completing the Wall** - Nehemiah faces further opposition in the form of deceitful schemes, designed to lure him away from Jerusalem or discredit him. - Despite these attempts, Nehemiah remains resolute in his mission. He discerns the deceit and continues to lead the people in completing the wall. - The wall is eventually finished in an astonishing 52 days, a testament to the determination and trust in God's providence. Each chapter of Nehemiah offers valuable lessons, including the importance of prayer, God's providence, unity, perseverance, justice, and leadership. In a sermon, you can emphasize these themes and how they apply to the lives of your congregation today, encouraging them to seek God's guidance, work together, face opposition with faith, and pursue justice in their communities. Nehemiah's story serves as an inspiring example of faith in action and the transformative power of God's work through dedicated individuals. The walls provided protection and dignity to a people who had suffered the judgment of God but had later been restored and returned to the Promised Land.
