Nehemiah: Brick by Brick
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 1: We Are All Called to Build God’s Kingdom
The moment you say yes to Jesus, you receive a job. Not just a ticket to heaven or a seat in a pew, but a call to build. This is not just for pastors or missionaries. Every follower of Christ is called to build God’s kingdom right where they are. In Nehemiah’s day, families took responsibility for the section of the wall near their homes. They didn’t wait for someone else to do it. They stepped up. That same call is on each of us. God has placed you where you are on purpose, with a purpose. Your home, your job, your school, your neighborhood—that’s your section of the wall. So don’t wait. Start building.
Nehemiah 4:6 (ESV)
“So we built the wall, and all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.”
Reflection:
Where is your section of the wall? What is one specific way you can serve or build up God’s kingdom today—in your family, workplace, or community?
