- Our Solemn Vow (Nehemiah 9:38-10:39)
Our Solemn Vow (Nehemiah 9:38-10:39)
Series: United in Service (Ezra & Nehemiah)
Speaker: William HC
Date: 10th November 2024
Passage: Nehemiah 9:38-10:39
-------------------
Ps William HC preaching from Nehemiah 10.
In Nehemiah 10, Israel’s vows of repentance seem impressive for a time. But only Jesus’s vows of love and faithfulness will transform a people forever.
The motivation for Israel’s vows (9:32–38)
The extent of Israel’s vows (10:1–39)
- the people (10:1–29)
- the promises (10:30–39)
- The shortcomings with Israel’s vows
- Forgetting their Messiah (9:36)
- Forgetting their mission (10:28-31)
For reflection:
- Should Christians avoid marrying outside their nationality, or avoid working on Saturdays? What do you think is the enduring principle behind Israel’s vows for us to follow today?
- How can you encourage your brothers and sisters to keep God’s King and His mission at the centre of our commitments?

Personally Attacked (Nehemiah 6:1-7:4)
Series: United in Service (Ezra & Nehemiah)
Speaker: William HC
English Service
Date: 6th October 2024
Passage: Nehemiah 6:1-7:4
-------------------
Ps William HC preaching from Nehemiah 6:1-7:4.
In Nehemiah 6:1 – 7:4 we see:
Three personal attacks:
- Public accusations (Neh. 6:1–9)
- Deceptive invitations (Neh. 6:10–14)
- Ongoing opposition (Neh. 6:15–19)
Two personal responses:
- Don't be shocked – pray! (Neh. 6:9, 14)
- Don't give up – persevere! (Neh. 7:1–4)
One perpetual truth: Fear God > people (Neh. 7:2, Prov. 9:10, 2 Cor. 5:9)
Good news… Christ was personally attacked for you.
"The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” And they said many other insulting things to him." – Luke 22:63–65For reflection:
- What personal attacks do you need God to strengthen you for right now?
- Who are the enemies of God that you are afraid of today? What truths about God and His Son will help us to respond faithfully?
39 min - The Howling Song (Psalm 88)
The Howling Song (Psalm 88)
Series: Mental Health and the Church
Speaker: William HC
English Service
Date: 29th September 2024
Passage: Psalm 88:1-18
-------------------
Ps William HC preaching from Psalm 88 for Mental Health Awareness Week.
Psalm 88 shows us:
- Life can be dark – even God’s people admit it (v1–5, 15)
- Life can be dark – but the LORD saves (v1, 9, 13)
- Life can be dark – why are You behind this God? (v6–8, 16)
So why sing this psalm? (v10–12, 14)
- to know we’re not alone in our lament
- to learn it’s not always well in our lives
- to hear His voice deeper in our darkness
For reflection:
- Is it OK for God’s people to feel darkness? Why or why not?
- Share a time you felt like you felt darkness or depression like Psalm 88 described. How were your thoughts similar or different to this psalmist?
- How can we make PCBC a safe space for people to share their sorrows to the God who saves?
