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 5: God Can Use You. No Matter Your Past.
Sometimes we believe that our past disqualifies us. But the story of Scripture says otherwise. God used people who messed up in big ways. He used David. He used Peter. He used Paul. None of them had spotless records. What they had was a heart turned toward God and a willingness to say yes.
Your past may explain you, but it does not define you. God is in the business of redeeming stories. You are not too far gone. He has not given up on you. He can use you. He will complete the good work He started in you.
Philippians 1:6
Reflection:
What is one area of your life where shame has been holding you back? How can you surrender that to God and step forward with confidence today?
