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: Surrendering All to God’s Will

Partial surrender keeps revival at arm’s length. God calls us to give our whole selves—our plans, comforts, preferences, and pride. Nehemiah trusted God enough to step into unknown territory. He believed God would equip him. When we surrender every area of life, we align with God’s purposes and open ourselves to His transforming power.

Philippians 2:13 (ESV)
For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
