Week 1| Rebuilding: God's People Then and Now - A journey through the first 8 chapters of Nehemiah

"The book of Nehemiah shows us the kind of significant impact one individual can have on a nation. Nehemiah served in secular offices, using his position to bring back to the Jews order, stability, and spiritual revival and renewal.  He served the Persian king in a secular position before leading a group of Jews to Jerusalem in order to rebuild the city walls.  Under Nehemiah’s leadership, the nation of Israel withstood opposition and came together to accomplish their goal. Nehemiah led by example, giving up a respected position in a palace for hard labor in a politically insignificant district."

Philippians Week 4 | "Usually when we read Philippians 4 we focus on verses 4-8. We use these verses, to tell people not to worry and to focus on Christ. While it is true, it is only a small puzzle piece to a far greater picture. Verse 9 talks about putting what we learned into practice. Not only do we learn, receive, hear and see God at work. But God’s promise is that when we practice these things, that God’s peace will be with us."

Philippians Week 2 | "When I focus on myself, I usually create division or separation between people but when I focus on the needs of others over my own, it creates unity among us.  Paul tells us to imitate Christ and take on humility so that we can be united in sharing the gospel. Are there any selfish desires that you need to let go of to be united with others for God’s bigger plan?"
