There was great power in the resurrection, and that power is still alive today. When Paul wrote his letter to the Romans he said he was not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus for it was the power of God, but what can the power of God do? In this sermon we see that the power of God can resurect the Savior, reach the sinner, and reclaim the Saint.

There is nothing on earth that if you push it hard enough it wont burn out, and in churches we are sometimes the worst at burning out our best people. The question then becomes how do we keep from burning out? Nehemiah came to the problem in his rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, he was about to lose his workers, so he devised a plan to battle burnout. He found the strength in prayer, the strength in the body (unity) and the strength in the Lord.

Ezra led the second group of exiles back to Jerusalem, but along the way he stops along the river of Ahava and leads the people to pray and fast. He understand that if God doesn't bless the trip they're about to take that they are doomed. The fact that we all need to understand is that we are in God's hands, and the best way to deal with that is to surrender to His will just like Ezra and the people of God did. They sought for God's wisdom, courage and strength along the way.

We always say that God's timing is perfect, but have you ever thought about how everything in the Bible works together as one greater picture. In this sermon we look at how that Nehemiah and Esther might have played a part in working out God's plan of bringing revival, restoration and rebirth back to the Nation of Israel so that utimatly Jesus could one day give His life for our sins in that very city.

Satan wants to discourage us from fighting and when God begins to move Satan goes on the attack, what we do in those moments is critical. We have to make a decision before the attack comes if we are going to back down. In this message Nehehmiah shows us how to deal with opposition and oppression and how to overcome those attacks and keep working for the Lord.

God started something in our church, it was a heart of prayer. There has never been a successful and sustaining movement of God without fervent prayer In this sermon we see that not only did Nehemiah pray, but he established a lifestyle of prayer. He prayed for God's wisdom, Godly courage, and God's strength.

The first sermon in our series in Nehemiah.

And three things that every believer can learn about building hope in the face of difficlty.
