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: Finish the Work. Don’t Quit.
The wall was completed in fifty-two days. Not because Nehemiah was perfect, but because he was faithful. He kept going. He refused to quit. The pressure didn’t stop him. The distractions didn’t slow him down. The fear didn’t paralyze him. He stayed the course and finished the job.

God has not called you to start something just to walk away when it gets hard. He’s called you to finish. The reward is not in perfection, it’s in perseverance. If you’re tired, ask God for strength. If you’re discouraged, ask Him for hope. If you’ve stopped, get back to it. The work matters because God is in it.

Philippians 3:13–14

Where have you been tempted to give up? What would it look like to recommit and press forward today?
