As the wall surrounding Jerusalem is completed, Nehemiah 11–12 reveals that rebuilding the physical structure was only part of God’s plan — now He wants to rebuild hearts. In this week’s message, Pastor Brian Suter shows how God calls His people to respond to His faithfulness with worship, service, and devotion.

From ordinary people moving into the holy city, to name after name recorded in Scripture, to choirs circling the wall in joyful praise — every moment reminds us that God’s plan always prevails. Because of that, we can worship Him with gladness, freedom, and passion.

This message calls us to recognize that where we live, what we do, and how we serve — it all matters deeply to God. And when we remember how much we have been forgiven, our worship becomes a bold declaration of joy that can be “heard far away.”

Key Themes & Takeaways

• Go where God calls you — He places us purposefully where we are.
• God knows your name — you matter personally to Him.
• Your service matters — every act of faith builds the Kingdom.
• God purifies His people — forgiveness and healing are available through Jesus.
• Forgiven much → Worship much — joy-filled worship is our response to grace.
• All of life — home, work, church — becomes worship when surrendered to God.
