His heart was broken by the news, and he learned to refocus his priorities on the things that matter most to God. In chapter 2, Nehemiah began sharing the burden God had laid on his heart.

Aug 24, 2025The Treasure of the Gospel MessageBy: Phil PeacockSeries: Guarding Your Treasures2 Corinthians 4:7 “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” The Apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Corinth about his ministry of sharing the good news of God’s saving work through Jesus Christ. He called the gospel message a “treasure” delivered to the world in “jars of clay.” God’s plan to use frail and imperfect people as His messengers helps to magnify the greatness of His love and power.

Aug 17, 2025The Treasure of Your SalvationBy: Tyson BanksSeries: Guarding Your TreasuresBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead 4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you. 5 You are being guarded by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 You rejoice in this,[ even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials 7 so that the proven character of your faith—more valuable than gold which, though perishable, is refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. — 1 Peter 1:3-9

But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
