When God Says, “Make It So!”

Text: Nehemiah 6:15-16

Have you ever been a part of accomplishing a great project or task? Each of us, called by God are part of a greater work that God has for us. In the message this week, we examine the example of Nehemiah, and the vision and work God called him to accomplish. God has a plan and purpose for each of us, we need to step out of our comfort zone, embrace the challenge and Make It So for God’s glory. There may be change and challenge in what God has called us to, but we can trust Him through each circumstance, knowing that He is faithful to fulfill what He has called us to. As a church, God has greater things ahead, let’s get ready and be ready, just as Nehemiah was, to apply ourselves to the work until it is finished!

The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd’s Promise

Text: Psalm 23:6

Have you ever taken a long trip away from home? We all enjoy experiencing such things, but there is also a sense of joy when we set our hearts towards home. It is this same reality that is depicted in Psalm 23:6 as David describes the sheep who have feasted on the summer tablelands and are now headed back home. They do so with joy and contentment because they have been under the care and management of a good shepherd, and they are confident in His continued care. There is much that we can learn today from this illustration and its application to our own lives. We invite you to listen today so that you, too, can know the goodness and lovingkindness of the Lord.

The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd’s Protection

Text: Psalm 23:5

One of the beautiful ways the Lord describes His relationship with us is through the imagery of the shepherd and the sheep. The shepherd lovingly cares for and leads the sheep, while the sheep trust in his faithful care. This message reveals how Jesus, the Good Shepherd, leads us through the valley to the higher grounds. It is through His faithful care that He brings the sheep to a place of abundance. We encourage you to listen today to be reminded of the many blessings we enjoy because we belong to Him.

The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd’s Presence

Text: Psalm 23:4

Nobody likes to walk through the dark valleys of life, but sooner or later we discover that valleys are a part of life. While there are often many fearful uncertainties in the valleys we face, we don’t have to be afraid when we know that the Good Shepherd is with us all along the way. Because He is with us, we can face the valleys with courage and confidence. In this message, we discover how God actually uses these valleys for our good and His glory, as He leads us through the valleys to the mountaintops. We invite you to listen and be encouraged today.
