Nehemiah

There comes a time in our journey of walking in our assignment when we have to make a decision. We have to decide if the opposition is going to be an opportunity or an excuse. In this devotional, we will walk through what it takes to fulfill your assignment so that you can accomplish the greater purpose to which you have been created.

Walking in Your Purpose and Assignment With Focus

This 3-day plan shows how God worked in the lives of three leaders: Isaiah, Nehemiah, and Mary during seasons of transition. They were living in between where they were and where they were heading. Instead of waiting idly, impatiently, or impulsively, they took wise, practical steps. Each day of this plan provides a way to anchor yourself in scripture and experience God’s presence to find meaningful work during your transitional seasons.

Meaningful Work in Seasons of Transition

What do you think of when you hear the word ambition? Self-centeredness? Greed? In this seven-day study, you’ll learn that God wants you to develop ambition—Holy Ambition! Bible teacher and pastor Chip Ingram draws from the story of Nehemiah to help you develop the seven conditions you need to let God use your gifts and dreams to transform the world.

Holy Ambition 

There is something very human about the need to pursue and conquer impossible things. But life is rarely easy, and disappointment can drain the life of our dreams and aspirations—especially the God-given ones. And when we choose to ignore situations that look impossible, we are also choosing to ignore the work of God. He is the way-maker. Impossible circumstances are His proving ground.

Keep Doing What Seems Impossible

Do you feel like you are in a season of loss and ruin? After decades of captivity, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem, only to find the city in ruins. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah detail God's faithfulness to his people as they rebuilt their homeland and offer encouragement to you when you need to rebuild too.

Faithful Among the Ruins

This week, we will overview the Book of Nehemiah, learning from his godly and powerful example and seeing how, through Nehemiah's story, we can be men who better engage with God and others. Written by J.R. Hudberg.

Learning From Nehemiah

In this 13 day plan, you will study the book of Nehemiah, which highlights the idea of Christ vs. culture and the collision of God and government. We hope you’ll learn how to be a spirit-filled leader and persevere in God’s call for your life despite opposition from others. 

Rebuilding Home: 13 Days in Nehemiah

Often touted as a “leadership” book, Nehemiah is rich in application. The way Nehemiah led the exiled Israelites in Persia to rebuild and reoccupy Jerusalem was as much an exercise in surrender and supplication as it was leadership and strategy. In this 21-day reading plan, we’ll look to Nehemiah as a role model in prayer, obedience, perseverance, and, yes, leadership.

Nehemiah: God's Invitation to Rebuild

Following Zerubbabel and Ezra, Nehemiah’s rebuilding of the city wall in Jerusalem is the last part of the trio. These leaders helped the Jews withstand all opposition and restore their identity as a nation. The two volumes of Ezra-Nehemiah send a strong message to us: God is faithful to the covenant with His people. We might go astray, but God will always bring us back to the Promised Land.
