Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” NEHEMIAH 8:10 (NKJV)

NEHEMIAH: BUILDING COMMUNITY

 The book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament of the Bible is more than an account of the wall of Jerusalem being rebuilt. It’s an invitation to all who read it to be inspired by one person’s faith and passion to rebuild a community of people. The story can speak to each of us today as we engage in a desire to rebuild communities of faith and hope in the wake of the discouragement and vulnerability that world events have caused in the past few years.

 Come with us as we consider how compassion for others can become inspirational action. We’ll also consider how we can do our God-given part without taking on more than is ours to do.

Working with others in a common purpose has a profound effect in building community and is one of the main messages of Nehemiah. There’s also the honest realisation that opposition to positive community building will often come from those who are onlooking as well as those who you hoped would join in and help. Finally, Nehemiah recognises the importance of celebrating the stages of completion and, although there always seems to be more to be done in building healthy communities, it’s important to stop and remember the good things that have been built together.

 We pray you’ll be inspired and encouraged to believe again that God has made us to be in community with others and to work together for a common purpose.

God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. GENESIS 1:10-13 (NIV)

THE WONDER OF THE LORD’S CREATION

Oh Lord, my GodWhen I, in awesome wonderConsider all the worlds thy hands have madeI see the stars, I hear the rolling thunderThy power throughout the universe displayedHow Great Thou Art, Stuart Hine

When a sculptor or artist creates something, they imprint part of who they are into the thing they’re creating – that’s what makes these items so precious and incredible – they carry the essence of their creator within them.

This is true of the world that God created – we can see Him in every created thing. From the creation of light to the stars, to the land and the seas, ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands’ (Psalm 19:1 NIV).

Join us each day this week as we take a different aspect of God’s incredible creation and explore a little more of what it says about who God is and how that truth impacts our lives.

LESSONS ON LEADERSHIP THROUGH DEBORAH

A study by Heidi Wysman

Israel had many judges, but one of the memorable and prominent ones was a woman named Deborah. Not only was she notable because she was a woman, a mother and grandmother, but also because she was a woman who knew the Lord.

Deborah was a prophetess who knew battle strategy, and she became a renowned judge and leader in Israel. We see through her story in Judges 4 and 5 that she had gained great prominence, distinction and importance on her own merits of character. Her love for, and faithfulness in, her Lord was one that brought her into her destiny of greatness. God is no respecter of persons for He gives equal and unconditional love to all as He searches out the matter of the heart, male or female.

Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. REVELATION 7:16–17 (NIV)

HOPE

Hope is called the anchor of the soul because it gives stability to the Christian life. But hope is not simply a ‘wish’, (I wish that such-and-such would take place) but rather it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made. - RC Sproul

Hope is a word that Christians and non- Christians use every day. In moments of sadness, grief and loss, hope is the word used to encourage and spur people on. But we know that hope has an eternal meaning.

It’s more than just a word of encouragement or a wish but is a real certainty that God holds our future in His hands. It’s a hope and strength anchored in Christ.

This week, together we’ll dive into the understanding of the eternal meaning of hope and how this hope we hold in our hearts has the power to impact a world in search of it.
