Nehemiah’s wall is going up, and so is the opposition. In this message from our series through the book of Nehemiah, we look at Nehemiah 4 and how mockery, threats, and discouragement threaten to derail the work God called His people to do.
We see how Nehemiah responded to critics by going to God first and then back to work. We also learn what it looks like to pray and act together, to encourage weary people, and to stand beside one another as a church. The same God who can bring stones back to life from the rubble will fight for us.

All Hands Build
Nobody builds a sandbag wall alone. In this message from our Nehemiah series, we look at Nehemiah 3, a chapter that names the real people who rebuilt Jerusalem’s wall, gate by gate, side by side.
Some built near their own homes. Some refused to put their shoulders to the work. Others did double duty. People from outside the city joined in even though the wall didn’t protect them. Priests, goldsmiths, merchants, and daughters all worked together. Along the way, we look at what real leadership is (it’s earned, not given by a title) and how God builds His church through the whole body of Christ, each person doing their part.
Whether you’ve been serving for years or haven’t yet found your place, there’s room for you in the work God is doing. And if you’ve never decided to follow Jesus, we hope you’ll consider His forgiveness and the mission He gives to those who follow Him.

Taking the Lead
What do you do when the ruins around you become normal?
Nehemiah arrived in Jerusalem to find a wall that had sat broken for 140 years. Everyone had gotten used to it. In this message from Nehemiah 2:11-20, we look at how one leader quietly prepared, told the truth about the damage, and got a whole city to say, “Let us start rebuilding.”
We look at it two ways: what it teaches us about leading, and what it says about the walls in our own lives that we’ve let crumble.
