Question: If everyone in the church were just like me, what kind of church would it be?
Nehemiah 2:10-12:17-18
1-You must get God’s dream deep down in your heart!
– If you survey the walls of Christianity in the world today, the walls lay in ruins!
-This needs to promote God’s dream in our heart-the condition of the walls must be concerning to us!
– We need to begin to rebuild!
– God put the dream in Nehemiah’s heart!
– Our movement is about rebuilding the walls of Christianity today!
– What dream do we have deep down in our heart…and does it include God’s dream?
– When are doing God’s work…it fills our heart w joy!
– Our own personal dreams tear down the walls of God’s church!
– We need to open wide our heart and allow God to put a dream in your heart!
Nehemiah 4:1-8
2-Learn how to resurrect your heart!
– There’s a reason God calls us to seek after Him w all our heart-because it’s what we need me makes us truly happy!
– You cannot have the dream deep down in your heart without praying hard to God to give it to you!
– Only way to resurrect your heart is to give 100% of your heart!
– Open the eyes of your heart and see God’s grace in your life
