In Nehemiah 8, Nehemiah calls for a Bible conference and invites Ezra the scribe to be the teacher.

The walls are now finished, and the gates were hung.

The material needs of the city had been met; not it was time to focus on the spiritual needs of the people in the city.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with what can happen God's people get serious about His Word.

The walls are completed, and the gates have been restored, and the enemy is flustered.

But a city is much more than walls, gates, and houses: a city is people.

In the first half of Nehemiah the people existed for the walls, but now the walls must exist for the people.

Rebuilding the wall is only the first step in removing the reproach from those who returned from exile.

The walls do not exist for their own sake.

Their significance depends on what is supposed to happening inside Jerusalem itself, the thriving community of God for the glory of God.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us as we learn about the Qualities of Nehemiah’s Character and the Priorities of Nehemiah’s Calling. 

One of the enemy’s strategies to destroy the work of the people of God in manipulation and intimidation.

It was what Nehemiah deals with as the building project is coming to completion.

Join us as Dr. chuck Jonas reminds us that even when things are going good, the enemy will still try to stop what God is doing.

With the external threat contained, Nehemiah has to face an unexpected internal threat of dissension, division, and exploitation within his own ranks.

It is a threat that could bring the work on the wall to a screeching halt.

Join us as Dr. Chuck shares how Nehemiah is able to lead by example.

G. K. Chesteron, author and theologian, once made the following statement, “The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.”

Whenever believers get serious about obeying God’s call on their lives, they can count on opposition.

Join  us as Dr. Chuck Jonas reminds us how to handle the opposition we will face when doing what God has called us to do.

Whenever beginning something new it is important to get off to a good start if you wish to succeed.

In today's message we get a glimpse of Nehemiah’s first few days after his arrival in Jerusalem.

Nehemiah’s first actions upon his arrival in Jerusalem demonstrate how significant the project is and how determined he is to complete it.

Because even Nehemiah understands the importance of a good start.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us how thoughtful and methodical Nehemiah is in preparing for the work ahead of him.

Isaiah says, “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”

In Nehemiah 2:1-10, Nehemiah demonstrates this truth.

For four months Nehemiah grieves over the reproach Jerusalem has become and seeks the help and mind of God as he prays and fasts over the condition of his people.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas reminds us that one person can make a difference in this world, if the person knows God and really turns to Him.

The Bible is filled with people who were able to lead, prepared to lead, and already leading long before God gave them the opportunities that made a mark in history.

In each case, they noticed opportunity and responded to opportunity because they cared.

Nehemiah was the kind of person who cared.

It is because Nehemiah had the heart of a servant, he could ask the question, Does Anybody Care?

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas helps answer the question, What is the level of care in our life?

We all love the Charlie brown Christmas Special.

There is a moment that we have been missing. When Linus is sharing the Christmas story and get to where the angels say "Fear Not", he drops his famous blanket.

What are the blankets that you are holding on to that you need to drop.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us how to handle unexpected turns so we to can drop the blankest that keep us from fully following God.
