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 2: Let Integrity Speak Louder Than Accusations
When you follow God’s call, sometimes people will misunderstand you. Other times, they may intentionally misrepresent you. That’s what Nehemiah faced. Sanballat tried to stir up fear and ruin his reputation by spreading lies. But Nehemiah stood firm. He didn’t panic. He didn’t retaliate. He simply said, “You’re making it up,” and he kept going.
God sees what is true. Your integrity matters more than your image. When you walk with God, you don’t have to defend yourself against every false accusation. Let your life speak. Let your faithfulness shine. Let God strengthen your hands and keep building.
Nehemiah 6:5–9
Reflection:
Have you let the fear of what people might say hold you back from obeying God? How can you let truth and integrity lead you this week instead?
