Against all Odds (II)

This sermon explores three characteristics of authentic commitment to God drawn from the pledge of obedience that God’s people make in Nehemiah chapter 10.

Deep renewal requires honest confession.

When people get a glimpse of God’s holy splendour and the Word is explained and understood, whatever personal hidden motives or self-serving reasons for participation in any venture will be revealed.

In this message, we explore Nehemiah 5:1-19, where Nehemiah confronts internal strife among the Jews rebuilding Jerusalem’s wall.

When we expect great things from God and attempt great things for God, it’s pretty much inevitable that at some point, we’ll come face to face with discouragement. How will we respond to it?

Advancing God’s mission takes all of God’s people to actively engage and play their part.

We will unpack 4 principles for Cornerstone as we seek God’s longer-term vision for the church, putting God’s mission before our own comfort and convenience.

The sermon delves into Nehemiah’s story, highlighting prayerful alignment with God’s will and personal responsibility. It concludes with a call to prayer, reflection on the church’s vision, and active participation in God’s mission.
