Who builds a wall 2 sermon

Sep 14, 2025    Rev. Wayne Hokanson

In this powerful exploration of Nehemiah's story, we're reminded of the transformative power of faith and courage in the face of adversity. Nehemiah, a cupbearer to the king, finds himself at a pivotal moment when he learns of Jerusalem's ruined state. His response teaches us valuable lessons about trusting God, seizing divine opportunities, and being willing to risk everything for God's purposes. We see how Nehemiah's compassionate heart, prayerful attitude, and readiness to act align him with God's will. This narrative challenges us to consider: What is breaking our hearts today? Are we prepared to step out in faith when God presents an opportunity? The story emphasizes that God can use us right where we are, regardless of our circumstances. It encourages us to develop a worldview where God alone is king, and to recognize that our lives can be an adventure of faith when we surrender fully to His plans.
