It Takes Guts! (1 of 13)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: One of the more difficult aspects of God's will is not so much knowing as much as it is DOING it! How does one accomplish God's will? What is it that makes a man or woman a great man or woman of God? You will never know God's great rewards unless you have also known about the great risks involved in doing God's will. Look in history, those we know today were men and women who took such great risks, but they were calculated risks, not foolish ones. Such great courage had great payoffs: Columbus' voyage to the new world. Man's voyage to the moon. The Apostle Paul's ministry brought the Gospel to the west...
Nehemiah: True Revival (11 of 12)
by Stan Coffey
We are in a series of messages, preaching through the 66 books of the Bible. Currently, we are studying the Books of History in a sub-series called Bible Giants. I want to speak about revival this morning. Revival through the Word. I want you to turn in your Bibles to Nehemiah, the eight chapter and in just a moment, we are going to begin with verse #1. You will want to have your Bible ready and perhaps your pen or pencil to jot down the notes and the outline of our message on Revival Through The Word. God has had a special purpose for America. I believe today that the great need for our nations is for revival. For a visitation...
The Sorrowful Heart of Nehemiah (4 Of 6)
by Ken Trivette
1. Dr. W.W. Landrum was often heard to say, ''A Christian should have a heart twenty-five thousand miles in circumference.''2. John McNeil wrote, ''Ah, we need an eye in our head, and a tongue in our mouths, and a hand at the end of our arm which has in it some tingle of everlasting love, and we need a heart working behind all three which has been kindled from the heart of Jesus, Who for us men and for our salvation took flesh and died upon the cross.'' 3. As we look at Nehemiah we see a man with a heart that was big in circumference and behind all he is doing is a heart that had been kindled from the heart of God. His heart is described...
Nehemiah: Rebuilding Life's Ruins (7 of 10)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: Rebuilding is never easy. It is often harder than starting from scratch. Some of you have had to rebuild—after a fire, a flood, tornado, maybe a drought! The city of New York is doing that right now. Hundreds of families in the fire-ravaged west are doing it as we speak. You know neighbors who have had to rebuild. Fortunately, I have never had to deal with such a loss. Rose's family suffered a fire when she was child. They moved next door for several months and eventually moved back in after the house was restored. We had a close call in 1996 when the city of Aurora, IL received 17 inches of rain in twenty-four...
The Book Of Nehemiah Introduction And Chapter 1 (1 of 13)
by Harley Howard
There are many works on revival today that one can find throughout many a bookstore, and yet to this day, there is no revival. I guess I am throwing my hat into the fray in hopes that this study can shed some light on the issue of revival. There are some specific guidelines that I am taking in this study and for some these guidelines may not answer whatever questions that some may have on revival. The reason this is so is that so many have read so many different things about revival-except the scriptures. When one simply introduces the scriptures themselves without the opinions of the many, it tends to lead to some dissatisfaction...
Our Declaration of Dependence
by Ernest Easley
Roswell Street Baptist Church is turning 70 years old this year! What started as a mission of First Baptist Church of Marietta in the "out skirts of town," has for years been a beacon of hope starting here in Cobb County.

by Adrian Rogers
Take your bibles please and be finding the book of Nehemiah, Nehemiah, chapter two, and verse eleven, page seven eighty three if you have one like I have. Well, alright, the book of Nehemiah. We're thinking this morning on this particular subject, LET US ARISE AND BUILD, let us arise and build. This is the story of the rebuilding of the walls round about Jerusalem under the leadership of God's man, Nehemiah. And I begin reading now where we uh, commenced our study last Sunday, chapter two and verse eleven Nehemiah says, "So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. And I rose in the night, I and some few men...

From Hurts to Hallelujahs! (5 of 10)
by Jeff Ginn
1. INTRODUCTION a. There is a dramatic shift in this chapter. The people go from an outcry to an up cry. They go from hurt to a hallelujah. They get there because of the leader they had. b. In many ways Nehemiah pictures the Lord Jesus. He finds us hurt but restores us and brings revival and renewal. He takes us from hurts to hallelujahs. Read Nehemiah 5:1-13. c. What does a good leader do? Five simple things. 2. A LEADER WHO LISTENS (5:6) a. They hurt (5:1b. He hears (5:6) i. Grain problem ii. Greed problem 1.

Getting Excited about God Again (13 of 17)
by Chuck McAlister
Wife wrecked her husband's brand new car; she wasn't hurt. But the car was totaled ... When the police officer arrived -- she retrieved the insurance papers from the glove compartment of the car only to find a hand-written note attached to the papers that read: "Sweetheart, if you are taking out these insurance papers it probably means you've been in an accident. I hope you are alright. Remember, it's you I love; the car doesn't matter." (A)You may have wrecked your life, but God says, "It's you I love."-God's people, in Nehemiah's day, were living broken and wrecked lives ... The walls were down around their city, Jerusalem....
Nehemiah (1 of 7)
by Zach Terry
CONTEXT: Nehemiah - In opening to Nehemiah you will find that it falls just a couple of books before Psalms. But that is a bit misleading, because you see - Chronologically Nehemiah is the last historical book of the bible. That fact gives you some insight to it's interpretation. Because what comes next? After Nehemiah accomplishes the building of the wall, historically the next recorded even is what? MESSIAH. The nation of Israel was visible evidence of the promise of God to Abraham. - As we saw in our last series God had made a promise to Eve, to defeat Satan through her SEED, a male descendant.- God made a similar...
Nehemiah - Discontent (1 of 6)
by Dave Gustavsen
So...does everybody have their Lego? Everyone got a Lego when you walked in today? I'll tell you what that's about in just a little while. In the meantime you're welcome to play with it, although there's not much you can do with one Lego. Which is part of the point. But we'll get to that later. So-this is the time of year when we think about resolutions, right? No matter how bad we might have messed things up last year, there's a sense that this is a new start, and a new opportunity to get things right. And I know what some of you are thinking. You're thinking, ''I don't do resolutions. That's childish. That doesn't work...
Nehemiah: Key To Successful Building (23 of 54)
by Stan Coffey
AUTHORSHIP: Ihe Book of Nehemiah was composed by Nehemiah himself and written by Nehemiah in cooperation with Ezra, the Priest. DATE: 432BC. Chapter 13, Verse 6 states that it was in the 32nd year of Artaxerxes. THEME: The period depicted in Nehemiah was unique in the history of the Jews. Nehemiah was the cup bearer at the court of King Artaxerxes. This was a position of high honor, but in this position of familiarity with the king, Nehemiah had not forgotten his people, the Jews. The news that was brought to him concerning the destruction of Jerusalem made him very sad. This sadness could not be...
Practical Lessons from the Book of Nehemiah Speaking to Us! (1 of 2)
by Jerry Branch
Proverbs 29:18 KJV 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: Such then should NOT be our case, since God has given us a vision for serving Him here in the Channelview area. NAU Isaiah 54:2 "Enlarge the place of your tent; Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; Lengthen your cords And strengthen your pegs.I want us therefore to look at some Lessons from Nehemiah: These are lessons that apply to both our personal lives and our church. Listen first to NAU Nehemiah 1:1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa the capitol...
Nehemiah-Building a City on Prayer Part 3 (3 of 3)
by Palitha Jayasooriya
Welcome to the final sermon of our series titled 'Nehemiah - Building a City on Prayer'. So far in this 3-part series, we have discussed the following prayer strategies of Nehemiah. 1. He prayed fervently Many years ago, 1985 to be exact, the music band Starship recorded a hit song called 'We built this city on rock 'n roll'. However, Nehemiah built the walls of Jerusalem on prayer, and through the guidance, wisdom and courage he received as a result of his prayers. It was truly an amazing feat as we will see at the end of this sermon. In this concluding post of our 3-part series, we will deal with 3 more pointers from Nehemiah's...
Is God Just?
by Jeff Strite
OPENING: A magician working a cruise ship had recently purchased a parrot to be part of his act. However, the bird was not only clever but also annoying. It was constantly telling the audience how the magician accomplished each trick. For example, the bird would say to the audience, "He has the card in his pocket," or the "The card's up his sleeve," or "It went through the hole in his top hat." One day there was a huge explosion and the ship sank. The parrot and the magician, both dazed and bruised, found themselves together on a piece of wreckage. For 4 days the parrot stared at the magician. Finally, the parrot said, "OK, I give up. What did you do with the ship?" APPLICATION: There are times in our...
You Have To Guard What You Gain (12 of 17)
by Chuck McAlister
Bobby Dodd, the former great football coach of Georgia Tech, tells the story of a game in which his team was leading 7-6 with just a minute to go. He instructed his quarterback not to pass the ball under any conditions. He said, "Whatever you do, hold on to that football; do not pass the ball." In the next ten or fifteen seconds of play, they moved the ball down the field to within 10 yards of the opposing team's goal line. As the quarterback began to execute the next play, with the seconds ticking away, he just couldn't resist, and he threw a pass. As it often happens, the pass was intercepted by a player on the other team....
