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 3: Protect What God Has Built
Nehemiah 7:3

Nehemiah didn’t just hand over the keys and walk away. He gave instructions. He set up guards. He made sure what had been built would be protected.

It’s the same in our spiritual lives. God may have done a work in you or through your church, but the enemy would love nothing more than to sneak in and undo it. We have to remain watchful. We have to protect the unity, the mission, and the message God has entrusted to us.

Reflection: What in your life or church needs protecting right now? Where is God calling you to stay alert and guard what He has built?
