Nehemiah: Brick by Brick

Sometimes life feels too broken to fix. But the story of Nehemiah shows us that with God, restoration is always possible.

In our series Brick by Brick, we’ll follow Nehemiah’s journey from heartbreak to hope as he leads the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls. It all started with one man’s burden, a prayer, and a step of faith.

Each week, we’ll explore what God rebuilt through Nehemiah—and what He might want to restore in us. This isn’t just about ancient ruins. It’s about reclaiming faith, renewing purpose, and rebuilding what’s been broken in our lives and in our church.

No matter where you are, you’re invited to join the journey. Let’s see what God wants to build brick by brick.

Day 4: The Church Is Not for Consumers

Scripture: Philippians 2:3–4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look not to his own interests, but rather to the interests of others.

The church is not about meeting our preferences. It is about serving one another in love and building up the body of Christ. When we stop treating church like a service provider and start investing in it like a mission, everything changes.

Reflection:
Have you been approaching church as a consumer or as a servant? How can you shift your mindset this week?
