Apostle Russell Toohey continues the "Jesus Our Advocate" series by highlighting the story of Nehemiah and uncovering the essential role of community in restoration and rebuilding. Drawing from Nehemiah 1-3, he unpacks how rebuilding in the Kingdom of God requires humility, unity, and commitment, whether through family, neighbourhoods, or shared service in God's house.

In this powerful sermon, Apostle Russell Toohey unpacks the role of Jesus as our Advocate drawing insights from Job's story and New Testament scripture.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

— The power of righteous parents: Job's dedication to prayer built a spiritual hedge around his family (Job 1:5-10);

— The unseen spiritual realm: There are heavenly battles beyond our understanding, but God has the final say (Job 1:12);

— The power of prayer: Job's prayers restored his fortunes and doubled his blessings (Job 42:10-12)

— Jesus, our Advocate: he is our Comforter, Defense Counsel, and Intercessor, always pleading on our behalf (1 John 2:1; Hebrews 7:25);

— Morning prayer matters: even Jesus prioritised early morning prayer to strengthen his mission (Mark 1:35)

“We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord…” (Psalm 78:4)

Building on NEW ZION Ministries International’s 2025 theme, Tell the Next Generation, this series explores how we can pass on the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord to future generations.

Here we will delve into some core principles:

Evangelise – Spreading the good news of Jesus Christ far and wide.  

Embrace the Children – Welcoming younger people to serve God with their whole lives, transforming them into dedicated disciples.  

Multiply Disciples – Raising up multiple generations of believers, equipped to lead and plant churches (2 Timothy 2:2).  

Prayer and Fasting – Underpinning every effort with consistent intercession and spiritual discipline.  

In this thought-provoking sermon, Apostle Russell Toohey challenges believers to actively “Build up the Church” (1 Corinthians 14:12) by adopting a “wartime lifestyle.” Drawing on examples like Moses, Bezalel, Nehemiah, David, Solomon, Haggai/Ezra, and Paul, we see how God’s people throughout history have been called to break free from complacency and become “wise master-builders” for His kingdom. Through each biblical hero, Apostle Russell highlights key principles—whether it’s working with excellence (Bezalel), leading from the front (Nehemiah), or sacrificially investing in God’s house (David).
