THE FATHER OF MODERN
MISSIONS, WILLIAM CAREY, ONCE STATED: “EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM GOD;
ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS FOR GOD.” ARE YOU EXPECTING GREAT THINGS FROM GOD? ARE
YOU ATTEMPTING GREAT THINGS FOR GOD?
Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues in his new series entitled NEXT: From Northwest Houston to the World. The series will focus on Nehemiah, whose burden for the people produced a bold faith to fulfill God’s promises.
This week, he preaches on the stark differences between Persia and Jerusalem and Nehemiah’s steadfast obedience to God – even through uncertainty and fear.
Scripture Reference: Nehemiah 2-3

Questions/Issues Discussed:
How can we show teamwork and good leadership? Yesterday, Pastor Jarrett discussed two of the people/workers in Jerusalem who stood out to him from the book of Nehemiah: Eliashib and Tekoites. Today, he shares about Baruch.
What does Nehemiah’s story mean for us as we stand at our own moment of rebuilding?
NEXT STEPS
Realize what we are seeking to accomplish is a “good work”.
Keep moving forward despite opposition, resistance, negativity, or cynicism.
Play your part and look out for one another.

Do you have a holy stubbornness?
What can you sacrifice for God today?
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

Lord Jesus, shine through our words and actions.
Holy Spirit, may we be salt and light.
Father God, hear the pleas of your children. Touch each in a unique, special way today.

All for the cause of Christ, in whose name we pray,
Amen
