Abundant Life Sermons

A pioneer is willing to risk all that is for all that could be. They are compelled by a dream to go to a place they’ve never been and to a land they’ve never seen. Acts 1:6-8, Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His ow...

Nehemiah embodied the core value of GENEROSITY – givingaway what God has given us. One of the marks of a life that is godly is a life of generosity. Nehemiah 5:14-15, Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the governor’s provisions. 1...

We all need strong walls around our lives, our families, our church, and our country. In the ancient days, a city without walls was weak and easily defeated. A city needed a strong foundation and walls of fortification. Wherever God is building, Satan is battling. Nehemiah had a vision for rebuilding the walls around Jerusalem which is why he met with intense opposition.  Understand the tactics of...

Our real solution today is to overcome inward battles and challenges that render us powerless to overcome.  Nehemiah 5 gives us the real solution of prioritizing the Word of God with immediate obedience.

Nehemiah had a vision that demanded divine intervention, and that vision demanded maximum participation. It takes all of us to do together what we could never do apart.

Are you serving Jesus in such a way that you are ready to see Him? Listen to The Well Podca...

The gospel alone can redeem broken lives and rebuild broken walls. But it will take us all. Let us ALL rebuild the walls by serving sacrificially, giving financially, and going personally to see “impossibilities” become realities! What is impossible for man is possible with God.

Nehemiah reminds us that when God gives the vision, He also gives the provision. God doesn’t give the provision until you act on the vision! Nehemiah knew who he was and who’s he was. His allegiance was first to the King of heaven and second to the king of Persia.

Nehemiah had a dream to rebuild the broken walls around Jerusalem and restore God’s great name! Nehemiah was a politician. He had lived a “palace” life. He was not a trained engineer, architect, carpenter, or “wall builder.” Yet God was going to use him to do something “impossible.” Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ...

Nehemiah took personal responsibility for the condition of his nation by confessing and repenting of national sins he personally had never committed. Repentance of sin is always a call to action. It’s what leads to transformation. Remember, our salvation is in God, not the government.
