Palmyra Grace Church
Nehemiah - Oct. 3rd 2021
When God calls us to Himself, He does so for a very specific purpose. God will never do something great through us until He does something significant in us first. He wants to use someone whose heart is completely His. Nehemiah was a normal, everyday, average guy who develops a burden in his heart for the brokenness he encounters. He has a radical faith and a courageous soul, and determines to do what God is calling him to with great faith. Throughout his story, Nehemiah exercises personal commitment and has a profound ability to adapt as both a practical and spiritual leader. His heart breaks for broken walls and he does something about it. Does God really have a purpose for you? If you give yourself to Him, He will plant a burden inside you that will grow into a holy discontent – you will identify a broken wall that wrecks you – and you just have to be a part of it. If you let God have your whole heart, He will mess with your life, and like Nehemiah, He will use you to impact the world in ways you could never even imagine.

Grace Group Questions
1. Do you think God has called you to do something special? If so, what? If not, why?
2. What distraction do you wrestle with most?
3. Pastor Dan shared he has learned that; If you are always available to everyone, eventually, you’ll have nothing to give to anyone. How does a lack of boundaries derail us from the thing God is calling us to?
4.Read Nehemiah 6:9. Intimidation and discouragement only served to fuel Nehemiah’s determination. What can you learn from his example?
5. How can you as a Grace Group encourage each other to remain focused on the burden God has given them to engage?
6. Identify the distractions you face, what needs to stop for you to step into God’s calling on your life?
7. As you think about the burden God is birthing in you through this series, what is God calling you to start? What is the next step?
If the opposition doesn’t defeat you, life will distract you.
Father, thank You that, even in the face of distractions, You’re with us. Help us to learn to keep our eyes on You as we pursue the work You’ve given us, to engage broken places, and to see our distractions for what they are. Give us the strength and perseverance we need to see Your work through to the end. In Jesus’ name, we pray, amen.
