Message Date: July 28th, 2024 Location: Sandy Campus A Little Help From My Friends “Let Us Rise Up & Build” Pastor Pace Hartfield  

église AB Lausanne ; KJV Obadiah 1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD. If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes? How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up! All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him. Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. ...

The book of Nehemiah provides us with a biblical foundation that encourages us to engage our time, talents, and resources in "Building a Legacy Together" that fulfills God's mission for our church of reaching and equipping people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Have you been part of a faith community that lacked the empowerment of the Holy Spirit? Maybe the leaders didn't emphasize evangelism, or the members were complacent and satisfied with things as they were, but thousands of churches and communities are stagnant today. Pastor Gary warns against this mentality because Jesus has commanded the Church to reach all of humanity for Him. Are you playing your part in building the Kingdom of God in your community?

Theodore Roosevelt once said “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty…” In today's message, Pastor Gary applies this thinking to the Christian life. Working to build the Kingdom of God is a difficult task, but the reward in store for those who are faithful to follow God's commands is greater than any reward that can be had on Earth. What are you able to sacrifice for the Kingdom? What more can you give to see more people transformed for Jesus?

Pastor Gary is here to convict you today! Have you been passionately pursuing God, or have you allowed yourself to get comfortable? Are you witnessing to the people around you, or do you keep to yourself and neglect to share the Good News? The Lord has given you things to enjoy in your life, but you have to remember that all of those things are temporary. Your primary objective as a follower of Jesus is to spread the Gospel. If you aren't building the Kingdom of God, you are being disobedient.

After Nehemiah observed the broken wall of Jerusalem, and gathered the people, he encouraged them to put away the reproach of surrounding people by rebuilding the wall. "So they said, 'Let us rise up and build.' Then they set their hands to this good work." (Nehemiah 2:18) The account reveals several characteristics and attitudes that are necessary to accomplish the Lord's work.

This 11-week series dives into the important discipleship values that shape our church. In Part 9, Pastor Greg discusses the importance of having kingdom keys to help you on your journey of rebuilding when things get tough.

Four months Nehemiah prays for a breakthrough, and then with the king's approval, he returns to Jerusalem to help them rise up and rebuild the temple. Jerusalem was once the city of God, but it had become the city of fools. Sometimes we can become so accustomed with brokenness, we forget it exists. In order to do something about brokenness, we have to first admit the problems exist. Then we rise up and build. There is joy in the build, as God watches us step in faith to live for Jesus and serve him with our giftings and resources. With his hand upon us, we can do meaningful work, and everyone has a part to play. All 32 verses of Chapter 3 are basically a list of names, with the places they served, the things they built, and the people they were next to. May we, with God's help, do the same in rebuilding the church.

Join us for worship and praise! Today we being our series in Nehemiah, "Let Us Rise Up and Build."

Nehemiah 2:18

Let Us Rise Up and Build Was Spring Break even a thing when I was a kid? Maybe it was, but that should tell you how little emphasis was placed on it in my circles. I think maybe Easter break was a bigger deal, but I suppose a movable feast becomes a moving target for year-over-year planning. So possibly there came a point where the emphasis shifted. Or perhaps, like Chinese food, it was always there and just made very little impression on me as a youth. Either way, by the time I became a teenager, Spring Break was really only a thing we shouldn't be curious about, which happened on MTV, a channel we didn't even have. (And I had it on good authority that it would probably melt my soul out of my eyeballs if I tried to watch it at a friend's house). So, the fact that I now live in a world where virtually one quarter of the year is built around this week is astounding to me. Who even knows how government people make decisions? This is not to say I'm not grateful that most of the local school boards have finally coordinated their Spring Breaks. It's now far easier for the church to organize our calendar around our people, a large portion of whom organize their lives around their schools. For a few years there, we had three weekends each semester hit with cascading breaks, which made it impossible to schedule anything for the months of March or October! And it seems to be the right week, since it also softens the blow of Daylight Savings (another governmental decision I can't wrap my head around). Yet, by far the most piteous casualty to our having anchored Spring Break to the 3rd week of March is that the entire community is shut down on March 17th, of all days. Of course, I will take this misfortune personally, considering that my maternal clan's name is Patrick. But I am also a pastor at a feasting church named St. Patrick. This should be a massive blowout day for us all! We should be glorying at the center of festivities to rival the town's fireworks display! There should be a festooned parade down a river of green beer, ending at 710 West White Road!!! But instead… it's not really on our radar at all. Our own namesake feast day came and went yesterday without much ado, like Harry Potter wishing himself a happy birthday in the cupboard under the stairs. Tragic. Still, we believe grace is everything in this complicated world. Even though my dreams of tater cookoffs and various lepre-chauntests will probably never come to pass, we are still a people who feast well and often, and who honor our namesake's passion for gospel ministry by making sure there's a place at the table for those who need to hear a better story. And looking ahead, Easter falls on March 25 in 2035, so Spring Break and Holy Week would be back-to-back. Maybe the school board will swap it for Shark Week and we can finally have our corned beef and eat it too! Until then, I hope to see you and yours at next weekend's Crawfish Boil. We'll have shrimp and hot dogs too, for the less adventurous among us, and you might even see me in a shamrock t-shirt, pretending it's still St. Patrick's Day. - josh

In Proverbs, we read that “the heart of man plans his course, but The Lords guides his feet.” Unfortunately, many of us often assume that the guidance of The Lord is passive, and requires little to no effort on our end. However, as Pastor Gary will teach you in his message today, in order for The Lord to truly guide us, we must actively seek Him through His Word and prayer. In his study, you'll learn how God's Word plays a heavy role in both revealing our flaws and shaping us into the likeness of His Son.

When would you say was the last time that you had a sole responsibility that you genuinely felt was assigned to you by The Lord? If it's been quite a while, the next question you can ask yourself is when did you last spend time wholeheartedly seeking Him? In today's message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to fervently seek The Lord in prayer and to faithfully act on His guidance. In his study, you'll learn that the more committed you are to The Kingdom, the less the things of this world will matter to you.

Make no mistake, God means what He says, and says what He means. When He says that the gates of Hell shall not overcome the Church, you can bet your bottom dollar that Hell doesn't stand a chance. However, that doesn't mean there won't be attacks. In today's message, Pastor Gary reflects on the similarities between ancient Israel and the Church today. In his study, you'll learn that while both Israel and the Church face many challenges, their future and prosperity are secure in God.
