When it comes to the work we are called to do for God, in frustration some may ask, “What’s the point?” Nothing God calls us to do is small in His eyes. It counts to Him. We are to be diligent and faithful in the smallest things for God, like the vigilant gatekeepers, the singers that were the spiritual vitality and the Levites (the minutia men). VF-1997 Nehemiah 7:1-4
Despite the quality of his character, Nehemiah was under constant attack by enemies. They used the tricks of the devil: sending emissaries from hell or close by, egregious lies, entrapment, and emotional sabotage, but that did not deter Nehemiah from the work God sent him to do. We face the same tactics of opposition in building God’s church today, but if we keep our hands to th...
Nehemiah lived and walked with an awareness of God's presence and a healthy fear of God. We can take a page out of his instruction, which will help us to depart from evil and to break free of the things that have bound us. VF-1994 Nehemiah 5:9, Nehemiah 5:15

Adversity, discouragement and disappointment will either drive you away from, or make you run to God. When we run out of our own strength, God gives His strength. The cure for discouragement: Prepare, Prayer, Perseverance, Power (of memory), Protection, and Praise.
"The Gospel in the Gates:" a visual tour through the gates of Jerusalem studying the meaning of the names of the gates and the people who built them. VF-1992 Nehemiah 3

Nehemiah had a concern for God’s work and His people, a calling to rebuild, and the confidence in God’s will to be done. We face the same challenges today that Nehemiah faced, and our attitude should be the same as his. When we pull together in faith to rebuild, the Lord will hear our prayers, ins...
Nehemiah was God’s chosen person and because of that he had a burden for God’s work. He earnestly prayed for God’s people and God’s place, and his prayer was answered. As His children, we too need to be prayerful, specifically towards the church of Jesus Christ. VF-1990 Read more
Confusion surrounding the emergence and development of Christianity has fueled a great deal of tension between Jews and Christians in our present time. A deep dive into the book of Acts helps us to fill in the gaps and shed light on the early Christian church which in its genesis was made up of Jewish converts who came to view Christ as t...
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the epicenter of Christianity. Jesus foretold of His Death and Resurrection on the 3rd day. There are internal evidences that the New Testament writers were honest reporters of Christ’s scourging and crucifixion, His burial, and His appearances after the Resurrection. Read more
If you’re on the fence about whether or not you should be a Christian, this message gives you the tools to investigate and determine whether or not the Bible is authentic, valid and true. VF-2493

Understanding why Jesus had to die has many nuances that can be found throughout the Bible. The consequence for our fallen, sin-stained condition is death, but Jesus died as a substitute sacrifice in our place. We escape the curse of the law through His finished work at the cross and the barrier between us and God is gone. Read more
A careful study of God’s covenants shows us that God’s chosen people are not limited to one singular group of people called “Jews.” The history of God’s chosen people shows us that no one has ever kept His covenant. The only way to keep His c...
The congressional bill H.R. 6090 references the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism, which alludes to the words of Jesus Christ as anti-Semitic. That is impossible because Jesus was a Jew. He criticized the religious leaders of Israel for their failure to teach and lead the people. They rejected Him b...
There’s a lack of connection and committed devotion to the Word within the body of Christ. A prayer of David out of Psalm 86 gives us the roadmap to getting back on track to being “all in” with God. Psalm 86:11 VF-2489

Celebrating 20 years of ministry, this message looks back at a life lived by faith and the making of a child of God. Hebrews 11 memorializes those in the Old Testament that overcame challenges by faith in God. They are to be examples to us to continue in the faith and stay connected to God and His word. Just as God saw the people of the ...
Our attitude towards money says a lot about who we are and how we will be memorialized by God. On one hand, the Bible is replete with references to greed and greedy people. On the other hand, those who were generous, recognized that they were stewards, and managed the things that God gave them resp...
The Passover was instituted in the Old Testament as a remembrance of the deliverance of God’s children out of Egypt. It was kept until the last Passover, celebrated by Jesus before His death and resurrection. Then Christ became our Passover through His finished work at the cross. There are no more...
There is no scripture to support the worship of Mary, or the doctrine of the immaculate conception of Mary which paints her as without original sin. So how did the Catholic church manage to convince a whole sea of people that this is the truth? Are Christians just imitating the mother and child wor...
A look at church history shows that the date of December 25th came out of pagan traditions that had nothing to do with Christ. The birth of Christ was the fulfillment of a set time. A study of the Old Testament shows there are no feasts or set times that occur in the month of December. In order to...
When we examine the biblical and historical data, it’s very clear that December 25th is not Christ's birthday. While we’re not obliged to give an exact date, we can narrow it down to a window and a time: more likely a September date between 7 and 6 B.C., fitting into the set times of God. VF-2483
