Podcasts about Nehemiah 1

New series for the next seven weeks through the book of Nehemiah called burdens to breakthroughs and what it looks like to build space where people encounter God and experience grace. The message today is entitled broken with a burden, blessed with a breakthrough. So often we want the second without the first. I'm going to show you today and throughout this series the importance of the first part and the process it takes to get from burden to blessing.

In this message, Aaron Pierce shares insights from Nehemiah 1:1–4 and his personal experiences with Steiger International and everyday ministry. God calls every believer to share the truth of Jesus. Like Nehemiah, we should let our hearts be moved by the needs around us and respond with courage and faith, trusting that God is with us wherever He sends us. Be inspired to live out the Great Commission, knowing that God is already at work.Scripture: Nehemiah 1:1–4Speaker: Aaron Pierce from Steiger Church: Grant ChurchTopics Covered:• Personal testimony• Gospel-centered mission• Evangelism and bold faith• God's calling and collaboration• Steiger InternationalSubscribe for weekly sermons, testimonies, and biblical teaching from Grant Church.Share this video to inspire someone to live on a mission for Jesus.#Nehemiah #CalledToGo #GreatCommission #ChristianMission #Evangelism #SteigerInternational #GrantChurch #ChristianTestimony #FaithInActionWatch the complete service: https://youtube.com/live/PylXigBTiEA.We would love to hear from you!Instagram: @grantchurch.caFacebook: grantchurch.caEngage on our website: https://www.grantchurch.ca

In Nehemiah chapter 1, verses 8 through 11, we hear a prayer that knows where it's going. After months of grief and confession, Nehemiah begins to pray with purpose, anchoring his requests in God's promises and asking boldly for what is needed. This week, Pastor Brian explores how intentional, Scripture-shaped prayer helps us move from vague spiritual longing to clear, faithful dependence on God, and offers practical encouragement for praying with direction in our everyday lives.Let's turn our attention to this week's sermon, “Building the Builder, Part 3” from Nehemiah chapter 1.

04/01/2026 || Prayer - Nehemiah 1-2 || Andrew Barry

Today’s Bible Verse: “When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.” — Nehemiah 1:4 Nehemiah 1:4 shows us the power of a heart that responds to brokenness with prayer. Before Nehemiah took action, he took time to grieve, fast, and seek God. His leadership began not with strategy, but with surrender. “Want to listen without ads?

In Nehemiah 1, persistent prayer doesn't begin with requests for change, but with honest confession. As Nehemiah intercedes for Jerusalem, he identifies fully with the sins of his people, acknowledging personal and communal failure before a holy God. This message explores why confession is not a detour in prayer, but a necessary doorway that aligns our hearts with God's character and prepares us for faithful action.Let's join Pastor Brian for “Building the Builder, Part 2” from Nehemiah chapter 1.

In Nehemiah 1:1-11 we see that God's work begins when His people are burdened by what is broken and driven to seek Him.

In Nehemiah 1:1-11, we learn that God's restoration is complete restoration.

In Nehemiah 1:1–4, we see a leader whose first response to brokenness is not action, but prayer that lingers. Nehemiah doesn't rush past grief or seek quick solutions; he sits with the burden and returns to God again and again. His persistence in prayer reveals that God is shaping his heart long before He assigns him a task. Before the wall can rise, God patiently forms a man who knows how to wait on Him.After taking a Christmas break, Pastor Brian returns to our series through Ezra & Nehemiah. Let's turn our attention now to this week's sermon entitled, “Building the Builder” from Nehemiah 1, verses 1 through 4. 

IN THIS EPISODE: "Nehemiah's Prayer"

Nehemiah's Burden _ Nehemiah 1_1-11 by Cypress Bible Church

Ezra -Reconciliation with God. List of offenders. Nehemiah - Nehemiah's grief for the exiles. Revelation - The bowls of wrath. Har-Magedon (Armageddon). The seventh bowl of wrath.

As mentioned previously, Nehemiah is a continuation of the Ezra, recorded the history of Israel and their return from exile. Nehemiah, an exile who lived in Persia's capital and served King Artaxerxes as his royal cupbearer, hears news that Jerusalem has been laid waste. The wall surrounding the city had been greatly compromised and the gates that would have maintained a secure entrance had been burned down. In great dismay, Nehemiah asks the king if he can return to help restore the city. With the king's approval and with papers in hand, Nehemiah goes back to Jerusalem, but the local governors are not happy that he has come. Nehemiah surveys the damage under cover of night, then urges Israel to join him in the work of rebuilding the wall and gates.Nehemiah 1 - 1:02 . Nehemiah 2 - 3:44 . Nehemiah 3 - 9:24 . Nehemiah 4 - 15:42 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

When God Moves the Heart (Nehemiah 1–3) | Todd Peters 

Everyone wrestles with the question: How much is enough? When asked, billionaire John D. Rockefeller famously said, “Just a little bit more.” Jesus taught that lasting joy isn't found in possessions. “Life is more than food and clothing,” He said. Instead of living with a scarcity mindset, He invites us to trust in God's abundance—a world with enough for everyone. Join us as we explore what it means to live with open hands, generous hearts, and the freedom that comes from trusting God to provide. Today we talk about how we can be a waymaker church.Support the show

This sermon was preached by Tim Lambros on November 16th, 2025.

In Colossians 3 verses 1-4 tell us that since we have through the act of baptism been raised in him to a new life our thoughts and actions should be in harmony with this. And so, from verses 5-9 all those past behaviours are to find no place among believers. Our new self is being renewed every day through our growth in understanding what it means to be "in Christ". From verses 12-17 the focus of the believer's mind and actions is to centre on living with (and as) Christ. From verses 18 to the chapter's end, he addresses the different groups within Christian households and advises on proper behaviour. Chapter 4 continues with instructions for masters and servants - such an important topic as five sixths of the Roman world were slaves. Verses 2-4 is a request to those at Colossae to pray for Paul's preaching.Verse 5 tells that their speech and behaviour must be sincere at all times - "seasoned with salt". Verses 7-17 conclude with final greetings. Verse 18 tells us that the letter was written by Paul in his own handwriting.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

20 Proverbs 29-30; 15 Ezra 7-10; 16 Nehemiah 1-2; 19 Psalms 69-72; 40 Matthew 23-25

16 Nehemiah 1-2; 19 Psalms 95-96; 42 Luke 4

20 Proverbs 30-31; 15 Ezra 8-10; 16 Nehemiah 1-3; 19 Psalms 72-74; 50 Philippians 3-4; 51 Colossians 1-4; 1 Thessalonians 1

This sermon draws from Nehemiah 1 to emphasize the call for believers to recognize the brokenness around them, take responsibility through prayer and repentance, and remember God's promises of restoration. By examining Israel's history from division to rebuilding, the message illustrates how God's redemptive work continues through each generation. Ultimately, the sermon challenges listeners to “play their part” in God's ongoing mission, declaring that now it is our turn to rise and rebuild.

Here is the outline for Nehemiah's prayer of repentance: Nehemiah turns to God first (vv. 4–6a) Nehemiah confesses sin (vv. 6b–7) Nehemiah prays God's promises in Scripture (vv. 8–9) Nehemiah points to God's past faithfulness (v. 10) Nehemiah makes his request (v. 11) [Audio is corrected at 1:38] You can watch this message here.

The book of Nehemiah isn't just an ancient story about rebuilding walls. It's a masterclass in how we too can live a strategic, purposeful life for the Lord. Nehemiah shows us how to transform overwhelming situations into opportunities for restoration. Through his journey from cupbearer to wall-builder, we will discover a powerful pattern for living in our own challenging times.Themes of this podcast:Develop depth perception to truly care about others' struggles. Nehemiah models how to move beyond superficial concern when hearing about others' difficulties. Instead of simply expressing sympathy and moving on, he demonstrates the importance of actively listening, processing what's really happening in people's lives, and allowing yourself to feel genuine concern that moves you to action.Use strategic prayer before making any major plans or decisions. Rather than immediately jumping into action when faced with a challenge, Nehemiah spent months in prayer using a structured approach of praise, confession, thanksgiving, and request. This deliberate pause to seek God's direction first, rather than relying solely on our own wisdom and planning abilities, can transform how we approach life's obstacles.Recognize that your current position may be preparation for a greater purpose. Nehemiah understood that being a cupbearer to the Persian king wasn't just a job. It was strategic positioning by God for a specific moment of need. Whatever role or position you currently hold, no matter how ordinary it seems, it may be exactly where God has placed you to make a difference when the right opportunity arises.Show Notes:BlogPrayer GuideWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Nehemiah had a great job working as the cupbearer of Artaxerxes, king of Persia. Why did he give it all up to embrace the difficult task of rebuilding Jerusalem's walls? The answer is the Lord developed in him a holy ambition for God's people, place, and glory. Do you have a holy ambition for your life? You can watch this message here.
