Remember the Gospel – Nehemiah 13
The book of Nehemiah ends on a note of sadness and uncertainty as the people have failed in following God, again. This shows our desperate need for Christ as the Old Testament is silent for the next 400 years until Jesus comes. Today, we don’t have to wonder if God will remember us for good like it seems Nehemiah was wondering at the end of his life. The gospel gives us the promise that God is working ALL things for…
How to Help Joy Grow – Nehemiah 11-12
The Bible gives us many ways to help joy grow, but here are 3 of them from Nehemiah 11 and 12. We foster joy when we give ourselves to God (Neh. 11:1–12:26) We foster joy when we give our praise to God (Neh. 12:27–43) We foster joy when we give our gifts to God (Neh. 12:44–47)
Our Only Message & Our Only Hope
For our Annual Meeting day, Pastor Tim preached an updated message, on the same passage that he preached during one of his first Sundays as pastor at Northshire Baptist Church 3 1/2 years ago. He explains, “I wanted to plant my flag as pastor and say, ‘My ministry here will be about Jesus. He is our only message and the Holy Spirit is our only hope of reaching people with this message.’ I wanted our church to continue to have…
Bring the Book!
Bring the Book! – Nehemiah 8 Understand the Word of God (Nehemiah 8:1-8). Rejoice in the Word of God (Nehemiah 8:9-12). Obey the Word of God (Nehemiah 8:13-18).
3 Keys to Perseverance in God’s Work for the Glory of God
Nehemiah 6 – 3 Keys to Perseverance in God’s Work for God’s Glory 1) We must have a laser-focus on what God has called us to do. (Nehemiah 6:1-8) 2) Sometimes we need to pray less that God would change our situation, and pray more that God would change us in the situation. (Nehemiah 6:9) 3) Our motivation for perseverance must be the fear of the Lord, for the glory of God (Nehemiah 6:10-16)

For Those Who Fear (All of Us) – Psalm 23
We live in a society full of fear today. Yet the Lord offers us freedom from fear because He is our Shepherd. Do you know Him? Can you say, “The LORD is MY Shepherd,” not just, “The LORD is A Shepherd?” I will not fear because the Lord is my Shepherd (vv. 1-3) I will not fear because the Lord is my Savior (vv. 4-5a) I will not fear because the Lord is my Sovereign (vv. 5b-6)
Building a Life of Prayer
Building a Life of Prayer – Nehemiah 1:4 – 2:5 in series: Building a Life of Faith Nehemiah teaches us a lot about building a life of prayer. And Nehemiah was not a pastor or even an Old Testament priest! He was an “average” person who loved God and who prayed and acted. We were having some microphone issues during the recording of this sermon…so you may need to turn up your speakers all the way! We are working on…
