    The Power of Wholeness Over Brokenness
    By: Phil Peacock
    Series: The Power of Jesus Revealed
    John 9  One of the most notable things about the earthly ministry of Jesus was his healing ministry.  Every miracle was unique, but they each demonstrated his power to confront brokenness and replace it with wholeness.  In the account of Jesus bringing sight to a man born blind, we can see that more was being accomplished than just physical healing.

    The Power of Truth Over Lies
    By: Phil Peacock
    Series: The Power of Jesus Revealed
    We live in a world where people care very little about the truth.  They mistakenly label things they want to hear as truth, and things they don’t want to hear as lies.  But truth and falsehood is not determined by our wants or opinions.  God Himself establishes truth, and has revealed it to us in His Son Jesus Christ.  The Gospel of John helps us understand how the truth of Christ sets us free from the enslavement of the world’s lies.  Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)

    A Time to Celebrate!
    By: Phil Peacock
    Series: Truths from Nehemiah
    “This day is holy to our Lord.  Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!”  Nehemiah 8:10b  After leading the people of Judah to complete the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls and gates in just 52 days, Nehemiah realized how important it was to celebrate what they had accomplished through God’s strength and guidance.  Joyful celebration is considered by some to be a Spiritual Discipline.  God commands His people to be joyful and to celebrate! Truths to Enhance the Discipline of Celebration:
    • True joy is grounded in true faith.
    • Joy is actually compatible with pain.
    • Learn to celebrate big things and little things.
    • Celebration is best practiced in community.
    • Don’t feel guilty about enjoying the life God has given you.

    Greater Service to Others
    By: Phil Peacock
    Series: Truths from Nehemiah
    Nehemiah 5 While dealing with opposition from external forces, Nehemiah also found it necessary to deal with internal complaints.  Wealthy lenders within the Jewish community were taking advantage of the poorer citizens, leaving them destitute and hungry.  It became so flagrant that complaints reached all the way to the ears of Nehemiah, who was able to act with wisdom and compassion to remedy the volatile situation. Nehemiah 5:1-6
    • He heard and empathized with those who were hurting. 
    Nehemiah 5:7-13
    • He pondered the matter, confronted the trouble-makers, and set a plan in motion to fix the problem—including a system of accountability.
    Nehemiah 5:14-19
    • He personally set a positive example to be followed.
    Christ always guides us toward greater service to others, especially those who are hurting.

    Overcoming Opposition
    By: Phil Peacock
    Series: Truths from Nehemiah
    Nehemiah 4 & 6
    Nehemiah had strong support for rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem from his own people, but he encountered growing antagonism from some neighboring tribes. His response to that opposition can teach us some important lessons about dealing with opposition in our own lives as we try to fulfill God's calling upon our lives.
    • In life, you can expect to meet some opposition even when serving God.
    • Sometimes the best thing is simply to ignore it. 
    • But when is escalates, we must learn to confront it without provoking it. 
    • Don't let nay-sayers drain your energy or distract you from the task at hand.
        • Be on you guard & stand firm.
        • Pray constantly & work hard.
        • Build your coalition & encourage those looking up to you.
        • Stay focused on the desired result.

    Nehemiah 3 In our study of Nehemiah, all the material of chapters 1 and 2 has led up to the activity of chapter 3.  Here we are treated to a rather detailed description of the rebuilding process of Jerusalem’s gates and walls, approximately 40 sections in all.  But what might seem tedious at first glance is actually full of wonderful lessons and truths! God’s good work gets done through . . .

    The Power of a Shared Burden
    By: Phil Peacock
    Series: Truths from Nehemiah
    Nehemiah 2 In chapter 1 we learned how Nehemiah, the Jewish cupbearer to the king of Persia, learned about the terrible condition of Jerusalem and the returned exiles who were living there.  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.

    • The Power of Request (2:4-10)
    • The Power of Knowledge (2:11-16)

    Series: Truths from Nehemiah
    Nehemiah 1:1-11 The book of Nehemiah gives us a record of how the wall of Jerusalem was repaired following the time of the Babylonian Exile.  The written account comes from Nehemiah, an official in the court of the Persian King and a respected leader among the Jewish people.  It provides a wealth of historical information, but also some important spiritual lessons about pursuing God’s purpose for our lives and our church.

    • Nehemiah’s Curiosity (1:2)
    • Nehemiah’s Heart (1:3-4)
