Sermon: Rebuilding the Walls

Text: Nehemiah 02:17-18

Pray

Body

I am glad to be in the house of the Lord where everybody is somebody and Jesus is Lord of all.

I am glad that we all have gathered together to fellowship one with another.

I would like to use the subject from which to attempt to teach, “Rebuilding the Walls”. One of the main reasons that this subject was chosen was because I feel the need to rebuild the walls of fellowship and a sense of family in the world today.

Our text looks at the Prophet Nehemiah being led by the spirit of God to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. Looking at the first few chapters in the book of Nehemiah we first see that there is a need for the freed people of Jerusalem that came to the man of God. We see that here with our Executive Elder Michael Mooney. A need came to him to bring the body of Christ together while putting away denomination and focusing on Christ.

After Nehemiah heard and saw the need, he began to pray. I am sure that Eld. Mooney was involved in a lot of prayer and fasting that lead him to forming NACM.

After praying about the need there was action. Nehemiah began to work. His work did not just stop with seeing the need. He did not do the work on his own. Although it took time to rebuild the wall, Nehemiah brought the people together with one goal in mind. I believe that this is the true purpose of ministry and the Gospel. It’s not about denomination. It’s about the Gospel. We as men and women of God, we have to bridge the gap between the denominations of Christianity and come together in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Now is the time for restoration.

Now is the time for coming together.

Now is the time to end anger and hostility.

Now is the time for acceptance and patience.

No is the time for love and peace.

We are a chosen people; loved, anointed and appointed by God.

We have accepted the call to lead.

Let us now lay down the burden of denominationalism.

Let us now lay down the burden of being politically correct.

Let us now lay down the burden of spiritual separation.

Let us lay down the burden of the show.

NOW LET US COME TOGETHER AND SO THE WORK OF OUR FATHER AND REBUILD THE WALLS OF GOD THE FATHER’S KINGDOM.

Amen Amen Amen
