Nehemiah 2:1-10 It’s a stretching question, isn’t it? And, not just intellectually, but emotionally, too. “If God is sovereign, then what’s the point of praying?” While we’re at it, we could also ask, “If God is sovereign, what’s the point of planning?” It’s fascinating to read the narrative of Nehemiah 2:1-10 with those questions in […]
Nehemiah 1:4-11 What are you passionate about? What would the people who know you best say that you are passionate about? What would they say makes you really happy? What would they say makes you really sad? In Nehemiah 1:4-11, we see a man who was passionate. He really cared. What did he care so […]

Or maybe you’ve wondered if your faith is authentic because you sometimes struggle to believe what God says? Maybe you’ve questioned if God could ever use you in any significant way because you really […]
Acts: The Triumph of the Gospel Do you ever wonder how that first group of Christ-followers felt when Jesus told them “you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”? To the ends of the earth? Really? There were only about 120 of them, and they […]
