Welcome to the Podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer is teaching where do we go from where we are now. This is part of our Teaching series on Nehemiah. We have taken some months to read together and to learn about the story of Nehemiah – as chronicled in the book named after him – and more than likely – written by him – and very likely edited by the priest and scribe, Ezra. It's the story of the retu...

Welcome to the Podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer​ is teaching about some of the Challenges The people of Jerusalem faced To recap: The returning exiles rebuilt the wall around Jerusalem.

Welcome to the Podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer is teaching on how the people of Jerusalem Dedicated there wall​ Dedicating the Wall Nehemiah Chp. 12 begins with a long list of names! We won't read vv. 1-26 but I'd like to offer a thought or two (or three or four) about why it's important. Why does Nehemiah list all the priests and Levites he does in this chapter? Well, let's notice...

Welcome to the podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer is preaching on the unsung settlers that repopulated Jerusalem. I am emotionally bi-polar about moving: I love it and I hate it. I loved moving across the country 22 years ago to begin a new adventure with my family here in BC. I hated that our one and only vehicle and all our household possessions showed up a week later. I loved that we had a place to...

Welcome to The Podcast Today Paster Rob Ayer is preaching on a name of Jesus Jesus – the name above all names. I am grateful for the rhythm of these first Sundays-of-the-month that we've been in for some time now – to meditate together on one of the more than 100 names for Jesus we find in the bible – to pray together as a community (offering our petitions and praises) – and to celebrate commu...

Welcome to the podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer is speaking on increases in our lives and how to respond to them. Last Sunday morning – after the service – a friend quietly pulled me aside to share this thought, her brow furrowed in small tension, "It seems to me that building or rebuilding walls might have a double-meaning. Sure, they protect, but they also shut out, don't they So the meta...

Welcome to the podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer Will be speaking on taking responsibility in our lives Taking Responsibility They were rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem.

Welcome to the Podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer is preaching about opposition about the Israelites that they faced when rebuilding there wall. Nehemiah was called of God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and its city gates – which doesn't sound very glamorous or particularly spiritual – but it was God's will for his life at that time. Sometimes God's will – His calling – is like that in...

Welcome to the Podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer is preaching about change and changing someone's mind Have you ever tried to change someone's mind? Maybe a child who thinks bedtime is negotiable.

If you were t...

Welcome to the Podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer is starting a sermon series on the book of Nehemiah. I was cupbearer to the king  (Neh. 1:11). This is the line that ends Neh. Chp. 1. If I were directing a movie – a biography - about the life and times of Nehemiah – this is where I might begin his story: a close-in shot of him just about to taste a beverage for the king – to proof it against any hint...

Welcome to the Podcast! Today Pastor Rob Ayer is speaking on a name of Jesus. This term of endearment is used – here – of God's love for His Son.
