Devotional 26 August 2018

Nehemiah 8 A 7-day worship service! The first 6 chapters of Nehemiah were about a physical rebuild of the wall (reconstruction), the second part of the book all about spiritual reformation, re-instruction in the word and re-establishing lost identity in who they were meant to be as a people of God.

26 August 2018 – Ross Woodhouse: A Seven Day Worship Service, Nehemiah 8

  Nehemiah 8 A 7-day worship service!

Nowhere in the Word does God expect us to […]

  “Keys to Serving” Nehemiah 2:11-20   36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not of this world [nor does it have its origin in this world]. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting [hard] to keep Me from being handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is […]

Devotional 1 July 2018

Nehemiah 1 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.
