This week we begin our 3-week study of Esther called "Living Faith," which will focus on Mordecai, Esther, and Haman. The first sermon is called, "Living Faith: Mordecai," and we'll focus mostly on chapters 2, 3, and 4...

As we've seen, Nehemiah is a courageous leader, a godly leader, a great leader. But in spite of his great leadership (and Ezra's before him), the people just can't remain faithful to God over the long haul. It's almost like...

When we think of the Christian life today, sacrifice isn't the first thing that comes to mind for most American Christians. We think of faith, hope, love, even repentance. But we don't often think of sacrifice, perhaps because many of us...

We'll be covering 1 Corinthians 15:12-28 and learn that Jesus' resurrection is our hope at Easter and for eternity.

After confessing their sins, the people of Israel "make a firm covenant in writing" to observe and obey all of God's Law that he revealed to Moses. As we all must do, they make specific application referring to certain parts of the Law...

The people gather again to worship God, but this time the primary purpose is to pray - to praise God, to confess their sins, and to petition him. The main feature is confession, where the people are acknowledging God's great faithfulness and...

We'll learn that the believing community must be built on the firm foundation of God's Word.

The wall is finished, but the wall wasn't ever the end goal for Nehemiah - or for God. The wall was to surround the city, which was literally and figuratively a city on a hill. God's desire from the very beginning was a people for his own...

The week, we dive into Romans 3 and discover the very heart of the Gospel.

In this text Nehemiah is sending a letter to those who have been exiled from Jerusalem to Babylon during the first siege of the city. The exiles of that day are called to actively wait in Babylon and seek the Lord's redemption. For us as...

In this text, Nehemiah's adversaries display relentless opposition - seeking to distract him from the work, then seeking to kill him, then seeking to have the king kill him as a traitor. The chapter even ends with references to the fact that the...

At the Outset of Chapter 5: the wall still isn’t complete; it’s about halfway rebuilt. Nehemiah and the Jews are still facing opposition from their enemies – Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem are doing all they can to stop the rebuilding. That...

We'll learn that opposition is certain, so we must learn to face it with faith.

After casting the vision and calling everyone to join him in the work, the people now start rebuilding the walls and gates of Jerusalem. It serves as a perfect illustration of building God's kingdom, so we're going to look at three aspects...

Looking at Nehemiah's interaction with the king, we see that faith-filled action follows faith-filled asking.

This week we look at Nehemiah's response to the crisis in Jerusalem and learn that what we believe about God and ourselves will determine how we respond in times of crisis.

In this passage, Nehemiah learns that 140 years after the fall of Jerusalem, its walls and gates are still broken down and burned with fire. Despite rebuilding and reopening the temple some 70 years ago, despite all the spiritual reforms instituted by...

This Sunday, we start our 2 part series on the Lord's Supper and discuss the proper elements that Christ instituted in the Passover meal with the disciples.

This week we will look at Acts 9:19-31 and examine Paul's conversion and how God uses solitude, suffering and seasoning in our lives to make us more like Jesus.

This week we will finish our Ezra series with 10:1-44 in a sermon called, "Jesus, Our True Temple." Last week, Ezra learned that the people had sinned against God by marrying foreign women who led them into idolatry. It wasn't their...
