Hope From the Word on Oneplace.com

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.

If you're going to communicate with someone these days, you have a lot of options. Maybe you'll send them an email, or a text, or use your cell phone to give them a call, or maybe go the old fashion way of using snail-mail. There are even apps that let you send videos back and forth to one another. But how do we go about talking to the God of the universe? Today on Hope From the Word, we'll show you as we get back into our new study of Nehemiah. You may be pleased to know there's no two-year agreement to sign off on, or coverages to worry about. Pastor Bill Luebkemann has observed a few prayer principles in chapter one and he's here to draw our attention to them…

For the next few weeks, Pastor Bill Luebkemann will be looking at the book of Nehemiah. In the first chapter, Pastor Bill will point out a few principles that will really help us in our prayer lives. Maybe you, like many Christians, pray prayers that are primarily self-centered. Perhaps you throw in a few needs of your friends and family members too. Well, while there is a place for that, Pastor Bill is going to encourage us to take God's perspective and pray in line with His heart and Word. So, let's make our way over to Nehemiah and get started…

We're finishing up Ezra today on Hope from the Word. We're glad you could join us as we do. Pastor Bill Luebkemann will be in chapter ten. If you're currently single and longing for a spouse and frustrated in your dating experience, know that you're not alone. There are a great number of people in those shoes. It's tempting to go outside of God's parameters and consider dating and marrying a non-Christian. Well, if that's something you're thinking about or know of someone who is we invite you to consider carefully what Ezra has to say.

Pastor Bill Luebkemann is in Ezra chapter nine today, which holds a powerful message for us. Ezra is about to hear the news that the people he's been leading have gone against God's clear command not to marry the unbelievers of the land. This devastated him. But then what was his response? After the shock wore off, he fell to his knees in prayer. Let's see what we can take away from all this as we join Pastor Bill.
