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: Boldly Proclaim Christ and Stand Firm

We are called to take our stand. To speak the name of Jesus not just in church, but out in the world. That includes our homes, our friend circles, and yes, even social media. Jesus said that if we deny Him before others, He will deny us before the Father. That’s not a scare tactic. It’s a wake-up call. This world is desperate for truth, and we carry the greatest truth of all. So be bold. Speak up. You don’t have to be harsh to be honest. Just tell people what Jesus has done for you, and don’t be ashamed of it.

Matthew 10:31-39 (ESV)
“So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven… and whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.”

Reflection:
Is there a relationship or situation where you’ve been silent about your faith? What would it look like to put Christ first and speak His name today?
