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 our lives: mundane, routine,

unspectacular. In a moment. For a time. Even as a thing we might do for a long time!

The key, then, to knowing and loving God isn't necessarily in the dynamic nature of the

something He has called us to do but in our obedience to surrender to His good will for

us no matter how little or big that something might be.

Because obedience – choosing God's will over ours – is a measure of our love for God.
