Calvary Evangelical Free Church in Rochester MN

Knowing God’s plan should inspire us to choose to live in light of that plan, to choose His way instead of our own and to choose to participate in His plan.

What is biblical "peace"? How do we find peace when we are overwhelmed, stressed, and frustrated?

Dealing with distractions & diversions, gossip & slander, and anxiety & fear as we faithfulling pursue God's work.

How does the church stay focused on God's mission when we are mocked, opposed, or discouraged?

Nehemiah and those building the walls with him face mocking, discouragement, and threats. How did they handle it? What does mean for us?

What does God want us to do in "rebuilding" the world around us? How do Calvary's mission and vision statements reflect these priorities?

How was the wall around Jerusalem rebuilt under Nehemiah's leadership? Who participated in the reconstruction? (And who didn't?)

We consider the situation of the refugees who had returned to Jerusalem and Nehemiah's leadership as he encourages them to rebuild.
