Sermon Series:
The book of Nehemiah tells the story of an ordinary man with an extraordinary burden. Moved with compassion for his people and his city, Nehemiah sought God through prayer and fasting, and God used him in powerful ways. Though he faced opposition, challenges, and sabotage along the way, Nehemiah courageously led the rebuilding of Jerusalem for the glory of God.
But the story doesn’t end with walls and gates restored. God sparked a fresh wave of renewal and revival among His people, reminding us that true rebuilding begins in the heart. Join us as we walk through the book of Nehemiah and discover how God can take ordinary people and accomplish extraordinary things for His Kingdom.
Anytime God asks you to do something meaningful, criticism and opposition are sure to follow. Nehemiah and the people of God faced ridicule, intimidation, and discouragement as they sought to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. That opposition was designed to discredit them and derail the vision God had placed before them. Yet Nehemiah shows us a blueprint for how to respond, with prayer, perseverance, and persistence in the work. In this message, we’ll learn how to stand firm against opposition, silence the voices of discouragement, and continue the good work God has called us to accomplish.

John the Baptist was so certain that he knew who Jesus was. A time came that he asked are you the messiah? John doubted Jesus because of his circumstances. We often think the Christian life comes with ease, safety, and prosperity when in fact it comes with a call from the savior saying follow me.

The Jews very studied and prepared for the messiah developed a system to know who the messiah would be. Even though Jesus fulfilled all of their tests they still rejected him and committed the unpardonable sin. After seeking more evidence from Jesus, he said no other signs would be given except for the sign of Jonah.

For hundreds of years God promised the Israelites victory and success over their enemies. The philistines, seemed to be unconquerable until David chose by faith to finish the job. God has called us to Finish the Job and stop surviving what God has called us to conquer. The key lies in our past and present to be able to complete the task in the future.

You can be anointed, have faith, and have the right motivation and still lose the battle. We see David's approach being the difference maker in victory and defeat. David knew who he was and what he was gifted to do and he fought on God's terms, not on the enemy's so that the whole would know that God is the real victor.
