So Much More: God Is Speaking

Text: Nehemiah 8:1-18

Nehemiah 8 shows us clearly that this book of the Old Testament wasn’t really about a man, a building project, or lessons on leadership or team unity. This book is all about how God works to restore people to a right relationship with Him. In this message, we see how God spoke through His Law to remind the people of His faithfulness, to lead them to repent of their sins, and to direct them to what He desired from them as they moved forward. We invite you to listen to discover how God is speaking today and to discern what He may be saying to you.

So Much More: God Is Providing

Text: Nehemiah 7:1-7, 66-73

This message shows us how God provides everything His people need to partner with Him in His work and accomplish His mission. As we look to Nehemiah’s generation, there is much we can learn from their example of generous living and giving for the glory of God. However, when we catch a glimpse of the bigger picture, we suddenly discover that God was providing and doing “So Much More” for them than they could fully grasp. We invite you to listen today to consider His amazing provision in your life, so that you, too, can partner with Him in the work He is doing in our generation.

So Much More: God Is Strengthening

Text: Nehemiah 6:1-16

Some find it difficult to relate to Nehemiah because he seems to have it all together. At every turn of the story he defies all odds, overcomes the enemy, and perseveres in the work of God. We, on the other hand, often struggle to do each of these things. In Nehemiah 6:9 God shows us the key to Nehemiah’s strength and invites us to experience it in our lives today. We invite you to listen closely, examine your life, and fully rely on Him for the strength that only He can provide.

So Much More: God Is Purifying

Text: Nehemiah 5:1-19

We live in a culture that says, “Life is all about you. You can live however you want.” We don’t want anyone to tell us what we should do with our lives, but what we do with our time, talents, and treasures matters to God! They reveal who and what is first place in our lives, and what in our lives will truly last when this temporary life is over. In this text, there were many faithfully giving of their time, talents, and treasures to serve the Lord, do His work, and build up God’s people. However, there were also some Jewish nobles who were wasting their time, sitting on their talents, and withholding their treasures. God would not allow their sin to go unnoticed, so He took deliberate steps to confront the problem so that He purified and unified His people to go forward in His work. We invite you to listen today to consider how God wants to purify you so that you, too, join Him in the work that He is doing.
