What kind of prayers does God listen to? How do you gain God's maximum attention? Nehemiah shows us.

Nehemiah is known for rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. But the walls weren't built just with stones and mortar. They were built with constant prayers. What Stephen reminds us in this message, as he takes us through this study of Nehemiah's life and ministry, is that prayer provides the building blocks for faith. If you want to take a stand for God . . . you have to stay on your knees!

Has your heart ever been broken over something and you knew the sorrow came directly from God? Maybe you saw kids starving in Africa and you wept because of what little they had. Maybe you watched a friend lose his or her life to drugs and alcohol and your heart broke from their emptiness. Well in Nehemiah chapter 1, Nehemiah's heart is broken as he witnesses how broken his people are. God, however, is about to put both Nehemiah's heart and His people back together.

The Tribulation is known for being a time of great fear and destruction. Men and women will be forced to receive the mark of the beast and anyone who refuses will be killed. But out of that tribulation the Gospel will spread and people will accept the mark of the cross instead. The blood of the martyrs has always been and always will be the seed of the Church.

Who are the 144,000 men and women we find in Revelation 7:1-8? Is the number significant? Stephen give us insight into this mystery as he continues his study of John's Revelation.

There are two instances in Scripture where mankind attempts to hide from God. The first is at the beginning of time when Adam and Eve sinned against the Lord, and the second is at the end of time when God comes back to judge the world. The thunder of God’s footsteps echo upon the earth, and those who remain are faced with a terrible realization: you can't hide from Omniscience.

The pages of history are stained with the blood of Christian martyrs. Even today, all across the world, people are dying for their faith in Christ. Why isn't God stopping it? Does He not care that His children are suffering? Revelation 6:9 gives us a powerful reminder that not only does God hear the prayers of the martyrs, but He has something special in store for each of them.

Revelation 6:5-8 is a haunting scene, and John must have thought he was watching a horror movie when God brought him to this point in the vision. Death is emerging from the water on a grotesque horse and galloping toward the earth with demonic speed. What will be the outcome?

A red horse is riding out of the second seal. What does he symbolize? What will he bring to the world? Find out now as Stephen takes back into his study of Revelation 6.
