Hard Places and Hard Faces

If we attempt anything for God, we can expect opposition. It comes from many angles. Expect it.

Advancement invites opposition.

There will always be critics. The loudest boos come from the cheapest seats!

Nehemiah shows us how to respond to “Hard Places and Hard Faces".

Nehemiah 4:2. Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble—burned as they are?”

Keep the Fire Lit Part 3--Unholy Relationships

December 17, 2023 • Pastor Richie Box • Nehemiah 13:25–26

The Book of Nehemiah ends with him dealing with the issue of a lack of space between the men of Israel and foreign women. Many of them married pagan women, which affected their home, their worship and future generations. The people of God have a distinct language they speak. Are you fluent? Nehemiah 13:25 So I contended with them and cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves. 26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things?

LIT Part 2—Priorities

December 10, 2023 • Pastor Richie Box

Nehemiah has dealt with a serious compromise in the priesthood and in the Temple. But he’s not done yet. The House of God is being neglected because the people have lost their sense of the Main thing. We must constantly course-correct to be sure our priorities are in line with Gods. This week we’ll continue to learn how to do that. Consider this an early New Years resolution challenge!
