Revival is when God's people really come alive and truly live for Him. We'll hear more about revival today on Hope From The Word with Pastor Bill Luebkemann of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. In the Old Testament book of Nehemiah chapters eight and nine, it was a time of great revival. The people of God were reading the word and seeking to obey it, and there was great joy. But there was also weeping and repentance. They were encouraged that the joy of the Lord would be their strength. But what's the basis for that kind of joy? Well, that's where we begin today's broadcast. From Nehemiah chapter eight here's Pastor Bill…

We're told in the Bible today if you hear the Lord's voice do not harden your heart. In other words, God is still speaking through His word, even today. Well, the people in Nehemiah's day had a great respect for the word and an anticipation of receiving instruction from it. Could the same be said of you? Hello and welcome once again to Hope From The Word with Pastor Bill Luebkemann, the pastor of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. We make our way over to the Old Testament book of Nehemiah today. The wall's been built, the people have returned, everyone is excited. At this high peak they were still vulnerable and needed to continue to rely on the grace of God, and on the word of God.

Glad to have you with us as we present Hope From The Word. We'll join Pastor Bill Luebkemann in Nehemiah six in just a moment. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You're probably familiar with that phrase, uttered countless times throughout the years. Well, Satan's tactics have worked for centuries so he hasn't changed them. Just as he tried to prevent God's work through Nehemiah, he's still up to the same thing today; and using the same techniques and tactics. Pastor Bill will point out a few of our enemy's subtle devices, and with the hope and prayer that we won't fall for them. Again, we're in Nehemiah six…

As we begin another Hope From The Word we invite you to turn in your Bible to Nehemiah five. No doubt a good number of you listening today are in a position of leadership. Whether it's at your job, in your church, or in your family. Here in chapter five, we see how to be a successful leader. Nehemiah certainly was. He wasn't like many leaders today who merely look out for themselves and change their views based on public opinion. He feared God and did what was right. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann beginning in verse thirteen, encouraging us to do the same.

John Phillips, who's best known for his translation of the New Testament also wrote a book called Your God Is Too Small. He sought to remind Christian's of their tendency to diminish God's great ability. But our creator, is an awesome God; able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ask or imagine. Do you believe this? Or is your God too small? This is Hope From the Word, a ministry of Calvary Chapel of Marlton with Pastor Bill Luebkemann. Here with encouragement to believe God for more; from Nehemiah chapter four and verse eight is Pastor Bill…

The book of Nehemiah chronicles the story of a man who accomplished an incredible task through God's strength even though he had a mountain of obstacles in his way. With each triumph came setbacks. Isn't that so often the case for us? After all, we do have an enemy who is trying to disrupt the work of God. This is Hope From the Word and we're in the midst of a verse-by-verse study of the Old Testament book of Nehemiah right now. As we enter chapter three, Nehemiah continues his quest to rebuild the community of his roots. Armed only with a powerful faith in God and a love for his homeland, Nehemiah accomplished the impossible by God's grace. Let's see how, as we hand things off to Pastor Bill Luebkemann.

Pastor Bill Luebkemann is just getting started in the book of Nehemiah. The rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem is about to get under way. Like any good building project, a lot of preparation went into this. Nehemiah began, as you might recall, with prayer and fasting. He knew that if this was to be a success, God was going to have to be behind it. What a good lesson for us all, wouldn't you agree? That's something to remember as we go about our life and ministry. Let's join Pastor Bill now in the book of Nehemiah chapter two verse eleven.
