    .

    1. How does Nehemiah’s persistence in turning to the Lord despite facing spiritual opposition exemplify the shift from a "me" to a "we" mentality within a church? 

  2. 2. In what ways can modern believers apply Nehemiah’s template for readiness and standing firm in faith to the context of today’s church and its mission? Consider how the concepts of unity and collective action can enhance our spiritual strength and our readiness as a church.  

  3. 3. The rebuilding of the wall in Nehemiah’s time is seen as a step towards readiness for the coming of the Messiah. How can the church today embody this spirit of readiness, particularly in the context of living out the victory of Jesus Christ and preparing for His return? 

  4. 4. On Sunday we discussed serving the Lord in the church as the body of Christ as a means to increase protection against opposition and to foster readiness. What are some practical steps we can take to strengthen our collective service and mission focus? Share examples of how shifting from individualism to a collective, service-oriented mindset can lead to transformation and rewritten stories within FBG and Georgetown.


    PRAY 

    Lord, inspired by Nehemiah 4:1-23, we ask for the strength and perseverance to stay committed to our tasks despite opposition, just as Nehemiah and his people did. Guide us in prayer and keep us alert to Your presence, trusting You as our defender and source of strength. Unite us in purpose, ready to face challenges with faith and vigilance, knowing that with You, our efforts are never in vain. Amen.

READ 

Nehemiah 4:10-23

 



CONSIDER



Read this week's text. You might be tempted to skip this step, but it's the most crucial part of your time together
.

1. Nehemiah's Teamwork Lesson: How did Nehemiah keep asking God for help and work with others to rebuild the big wall, even when it was really hard and there were people trying to stop them? Let's talk about how we can be like Nehemiah and work together as a family and with our friends at church when things get tough.

2. Standing Strong Together: Nehemiah showed us how to be brave and strong with our friends and family in believing in God and doing big things together. What are some ways we, as a family and with our church friends, can do big things for God, like helping others or being kind, even when it might be a little scary?

3. Ready for a Big Adventure: Just like Nehemiah was getting ready for something really important by building the wall, we also need to get ready for big things God has for us. How can we, as a family, get ready to follow Jesus and share His love with everyone around us? What are some fun things we can do to show we are excited about what God has planned for us?

4. Helping Out as a Super Team: On Sunday, we talked about how helping out at church and with each other makes us stronger and ready to do great things for God. What are some things we can do together at church or at home that would make God happy and help others? Can you think of a time when working together made something difficult a lot easier and more fun?


PRAY 

Lord, inspired by Nehemiah 4:1-23, we ask for the strength and perseverance to stay committed to our tasks despite opposition, just as Nehemiah and his people did. Guide us in prayer and keep us alert to Your presence, trusting You as our defender and source of strength. Unite us in purpose, ready to face challenges with faith and vigilance, knowing that with You, our efforts are never in vain. Amen.
