The Well Community Church

The first sermon in our series on Nehemiah. It is an introduction and an overview of the book.

Brad teaches Nehemiah 1:1-4 in which Nehemiah is filled with a "Holy Discontent". What discontent is God laying on your heart? What do you think you should do about it?

This week we will focus on the connection that Nehemiah assumes with God's people. He claims that the sins of His people are "His" sins as well. He takes responsibility and repents for the wickedness and hard hearts of Gods people.

Are you willing to risk it all for the Lord? This sermon focuses on Nehemiah's willingness to risk everything in order to see God's will be done. Nehemiah 2:1-3.

Shea talks about the importance of having a plan in place when God calls you to action.

Nehemiah travels to Jerusalem and personally inspects the broken city walls. What is broken in your world, that with God's help, you can begin to heal?

Nehemiah casts a vision for his holy discontent to the people living in Jerusalem.

Opposition will come when you put your holy discontent into action. How will you respond?

Nehemiah encounters sin and division from within the camp. What can we learn from his response?

In chapter 6 Nehemiah faces a direct character assassination from his enemies in an attempt to stop the work on the wall. How would you respond in the same situation?

True revival starts with the faithful communication of God's Word, and an appropriate response by God's people. All too often we become smarter sinners when we read the Bible because we neglect to put into practice what we read. in this message Brad explores the heart of true revival, the Word of God, in Nehemiah chapters 6-8.

True Revival requires that we respond to what God's Word is calling us to do and be. We must become doers of The Word and not merely hearers.

It doesn't take long for the people of God to forget the lessons they just learned from Nehemiah, Ezra, and the Word of God. Instead they choose personal preference over the things of God. How can we guard against doing the same thing in our own lives?
