Rebuild Our Community

God Can

October 23, 2022 • Andy Adams • Nehemiah 5

Give

Nehemiah has led the Israelites in a great rebuilding project. As of chapter 4, the people were halfway to their goal of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem! But this week we will learn that God had so much more in mind for his people than simply rebuilding a wall - he wanted to rebuild their community! How might God want to rebuild us? Join us on Sunday as we are reminded that it matters how we treat one another within the family of God.

Finish What He Started

November 20, 2022 • Andy Adams • Nehemiah 12:44–47, Nehemiah 13

This week we wrap up our journey with Nehemiah. Last week we saw how he and the people renewed their covenant with God and celebrated the accomplishment of their great work with exuberant joy! But in the final chapter of Nehemiah we learn that they didn’t follow through with their commitments. What will Nehemiah do? What will God do in response? More importantly, what do we do when we make significant progress but there is still so much left undone. Join us on Sunday as we find hope even in midst of our failures and limitations.

Give us Joy

November 13, 2022 • Andy Adams • Nehemiah 10:30–39, Nehemiah 12:27–43

We are excited to celebrate baptisms on Sunday! Just as Nehemiah led the people to take vows to love and serve God, we will share in our baptismal vows. Just as Nehemiah’s people celebrated with joy, we will celebrate with joy at all God has done! Do you earnestly repent of your sin? Do you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord? Have you made a recent commitment to Jesus? If you feel God leading you to be baptized or remember your baptism, there’s still time to contact Pastor Andy and be part of the celebration. Either way, join us for an unforgettable Sunday!

Change Our Hearts

November 6, 2022 • Andy Adams • Nehemiah 8, Nehemiah 9

When is the last time God moved you to tears? Where we pick up with Nehemiah and his people, they are now finished with the great rebuild of the wall, but God is still rebuilding them. And as God rebuilds them through the reading of His Word, the people are moved to tears. Maybe that’s happened to you during times of worship. Why does standing before God oftentimes bring tears? We will discover some of the possibilities this Sunday and more importantly learn which kinds of tears lead to a true change of heart.
