Send us Fan MailIn this message from Nehemiah 1-2, we see how Nehemiah trusts and obeys God through promises remembered, prayer in action, preparation for risk, and provision given. As Nehemiah responds to broken walls and a desperate need with faith-filled courage, the sermon points us to Christ, who risked and gave far more to rescue His people and call us to trust and obey.

Send us Fan Mail4 One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling;he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

Send us Fan Mail56 Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; 2 my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. 3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? 5 All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life. 7 For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! 8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? 9 Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. 10 In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, 11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? 12 I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. 13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling

Send us Fan Mail19 So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. And when they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them. And the women said, “Is this Naomi?” 20 She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi, when the Lord has testified against me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?”

Send us Fan MailThis Day Is Holy9 And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept as they heard the words of the Law. 10 Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Send us Fan MailIn this message, we wrap up nearly two years in the Gospel of Luke by exploring Jesus' final appearances before His ascension. Through Luke 24:36-53, we discover six life-changing truths for every believer: receive the peace that only a risen Savior can give, trust in the reality of the physical resurrection and the future hope it promises, ask Jesus to open your mind to Scripture, embrace the call to proclaim repentance and forgiveness to all nations, walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, and live with joyful expectancy as we await Christ's return. If you've ever wrestled with doubt, wondered about your purpose, or simply needed encouragement — this message is for you.

Send us Fan MailIn the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

Send us Fan MailOn the road to Emmaus, two disciples walked alongside the risen Jesus — and didn't even recognize him. In this message from Luke 24:13-35, we explore what it means to truly see Jesus for who he is.Through this powerful resurrection account, we discover four truths for our lives today:1. Recognize the True Identity of Jesus — He was more than a prophet or political hero. He is Lord and Messiah, the King of all nations.2. Don't Be Slow of Heart to Believe the Resurrection — Doubt is nothing new. Even those closest to Jesus struggled to believe — but Jesus meets us in our doubt.3. Realize the Importance of Scripture — From Genesis to the Prophets, God's rescue plan through Jesus was always the plan. His Word has the power to change everything.4. Ask Jesus to Open Your Eyes — Just as he opened the eyes of the two men on the road to Emmaus, Jesus can take you from despair to delight, from foolishness to faithfulness.Would you see Jesus with new eyes today?

Send us Fan Mail14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.

Send us Fan Mail23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

Send us Fan MailIn Luke 23:50–24:12, this message calls us to remember and celebrate the victory of Jesus’ resurrection. It highlights Joseph of Arimathea’s faithful care for Jesus’ burial and then shifts to the women at the tomb, who discover the stone rolled away and hear the angels’ announcement: “He is not here, He has risen.”The sermon shows how forgetting Jesus’ words can lead to subtle doubt, but remembering what Christ foretold leads to bold faith and a desire to go and tell others. Finally, it contrasts two responses to the resurrection, skepticism and marvel, and invites us to trust Christ, rejoice in His victory, and live as witnesses of the risen King.
