The Good Work: The God of the How

08.31.2025

Sermon Series:

The Good Work

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.

 

This week’s focus is on God’s vision. God gives vision to those who are willing to carry what burdens His heart. Many of us feel unqualified, thinking we are not the right people for the job. Yet it is that very truth that makes us perfectly suited for God’s work. The events of our lives are not accidents; God has been preparing us to do what seems impossible. Our natural response is often to ask, “How? How can this be? How can I accomplish this for God?” But God is not asking us to figure out the how; He is looking for the who. The God of the impossible is the God of the how.

Healed

Oftentimes we wait for the Lord to do things that he has already said that we could do or already have the authority to do. We never receive because it wasn't "God's will" while the situation required action. Today we study a woman who didn't wait passively in hope, but actively used her faith to initiate the miracle in her life. The reality is that we can believe in God and never actually touch Him. Today, let's activate our faith and press in to his power.
