This week we take a little turn in our series about the Power of a Godly Vision and talk more about working together in Kingdom Work by looking at Nehemiah 3. God wants a church that is unified and working together. When we look at chapter 3 we see a list of workers that was very diverse, some did much, some did little, some used different talents and abilities, but the most important thing is that they were doing it together and they rebuilt Jerusalem’s walls and gates in a miraculous time. God can do the miraculous through us when we offer Him what we have and work together.

We talk about our ‘vision playbook’ this morning in our series: Nehemiah-the Power of a Godly Vision. Every team has a playbook. Many businesses have a playbook for their employees. A playbook is nothing more than a plan or strategy. Listen along as we see how Nehemiah planned accordingly after he received his God-given vision to go and rebuild the walls and gates of Jerusalem.

Last week Pastor Greg talked about ‘the waiting game’, that time between when you feel God birthing a vision or burden in you but you do not know the ‘when’ nor the ‘how’ of the vision. This week we unpack the prayer that Nehemiah prayed during his waiting time and we learn a valuable prayer guide that we can utilize during our time of developing, character building, and dependence upon the Lord as we, wait.

This morning Pastor Greg continues our series on the power of a Godly vision by talking about what the Old Testament character Nehemiah did during the ‘waiting period’. That period between what we feel God wants us to do and the ‘how’ He will bring it about. Many believers find themselves in a ‘holding pattern’, but that is when faith is grown, character is developed, & we truly learn to depend upon God. This is part one of ‘the waiting game’.

Happy Father’s Day. Pastor Greg gives dads, grandads, foster dads, & spiritual dads (as well as all parents) Biblical instruction about what our kids desperately need. We learn this by unpacking the fatherly blessing the Israelite patriarch Isaac gave his son Jacob in Genesis 27. Who do we want affirming our kids? The world will happily step up and give them affirmation if we, and the church, do not do this. There is a spiritual battle that is raging for our kids, and we can do much in the Lord’s power to help them in this battle. This message is titled: The Blessing of Affirmation.

Today we continue our new series about having a Godly vision for your life based on the vision or purpose that God gave Nehemiah in the Old Testament. Last week Pastor Greg spoke on the ‘where’ of a Godly vision; the means and methods that God uses to get a vision to us. This week Pastor Greg talks about the “how’ of a Godly vision and more specifically how to claim your Godly vision. We learn this by examining the actions, reactions, and emotions of Nehemiah when he learns of the situation in Jerusalem. We bless you and pray that you find Jesus closer and nearer in your life.

We unpack a story about a mom in the Old Testament in Genesis 16 this morning on Mother's Day. We see a mom named Hagar go through a lot of affliction simply because she became a mom. We often find ourselves like Hagar being afflicted by many situations in life and it makes us want to run away and hide in the wilderness like she did. Where was her hope? Where is our hope? We find out that all of our hope is in the 'God who sees me". We pray that you are encouraged this morning by God's Word. Join us this morning as we dig into God's pure calling in our life.

Today we learn a great lesson about expectation from the story of the lame beggar found in Acts 3:1-10. What are you expecting from God in your life, in your family, & in your church? Are you more like the people of Jesus' hometown in Matthew 13-53-38 where they did not expect anything from Jesus and they did not believe? Jesus was limited in His ministry there because of their unbelief. We talk about 6 expectations that every believer should have in this message. Let's believe and expect big things from God.
