Nehemiah 10:28-39

September 1, 2024

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks “What is God calling you to change everyday?” In the book of Nehemiah, he helped rebuild the wall and then addressed the issues on the inside. In this passage, Nehemiah enforces the Covenant to obey the Word. Pastor Nate teaches that change can be difficult and we need God powered resilience to help us make changes. Pastor preaches that God calls us to be Jesus-different. So: 1- Who, or what, needs to go? 2 – Trust God enough to Sabbath (Sabbath is a gift, not a burden), and 3 – Invest in Jesus’ people (tithe). Giving is an act of trust and worship. Listen in this week to the sermon series on the book of Nehemiah: God Powered Resilience.

Nehemiah 9

August 25, 2024

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan teaches on how to “fix the real problem with confession and recommitment.” He explains how Nehemiah helped rebuild the city wall for outside protection, but now needs to address the problems on the inside. Pastor preaches that we must confess: 1- God’s character (truth about God), 2 – our (generational) sin (our unfaithfulness). We need to confess and then recommit.

Nehemiah 8

August 18, 2024

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan talks about the problem under the problem. We need to fix the real problem by understanding Scripture and rejoicing in the Lord. We need to understand: 1- God warns, 2 – God restores, 3 – God is in charge and reigns. So understand, then rejoice: disrupt you life for the Word, disrupt your life for community, disrupt your life for Sabbath rest. If you want to change your life, it can’t stay the same. Listen in this week to the sermon series on the book of Nehemiah: God Powered Resilience.

Nehemiah 5

August 4, 2024

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks “Why fear God?” He teaches how Nehemiah was called to rebuild the wall and how he handled problems during the process. Pastor preaches that God will repay. He will judge. So: 1- courageously confront evil, 2 – sacrifice for them, 3 – receive and give Jesus’ love. Fear God, Love God. Listen in this week to the sermon series on the book of Nehemiah: God Powered Resilience.

Nehemiah 4

July 28, 2024

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan talks about stacking rocks, meaning daily grinding faithfulness. It is hard work being consistent on a daily basis. He teaches about how Nehemiah kept going when everyone was mad at him. Nehemiah prayed and kept building the wall (stacking rocks). It is difficult to know how to handle the voices from outside, inside or family. Christ is the best voice to listen to. Pastor preaches that Jesus: 1- spoke words of eternal life, 2 – will do what we can’t, not what we can, 3 – said the way would be hard. SO: pray and stack rocks. Listen in this week to the sermon series on the book of Nehemiah: God Powered Resilience.

Nehemiah 3

July 21, 2024

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks you to consider “Am I doing my part?” He preaches that God: 1- did His part, 2 – gave you a part, 3 – will reward you for doing your part. SO: what is your part? Everyone has a part in the body of Christ. Nehemiah describes in this chapter all the different people who helped build the wall around the city. Listen in this week to the the third talk in the sermon series on the book of Nehemiah: God Powered Resilience.

Nehemiah 2

July 14, 2024

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks again “What is God calling you to prayerfully face?” He preaches that God: 1- reigns, 2 – calls us to move, 3 – gives success. SO: prayerfully wait, thankfully accept, disrupt your life, carefully count the cost, form a team, tell the voices about God. So what will we do? As a church, what do we face? There are lost people all around us. Listen in this week to the the second talk in the sermon series on the book of Nehemiah: God Powered Resilience.

Nehemiah 1

July 7, 2024

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks “What is God calling you to prayerfully face?” He goes to teach that you can’t heal what your hiding; deal with it or deny it. He preaches that God: 1- helps His people persist, 2 – keeps His Word, 3 – cares. SO: will you prayerfully face it? As a church, what do we face? He suggests to name it, write it down and pray about it. Pastor talked about prayer using the ACTS acronym: Adore, Confess, Thank, aSk. Nehemiah’s heart is a shadow of God’s heart. Listen in this week to the introduction to the new sermon series on the book of Nehemiah: God Powered Resilience.
