Since we all face the same challenge of rebuilding areas of our lives, let’s look for wisdom from Nehemiah whose own struggle for personal purpose and redefining his life has stood the test of time.
1. There will always come a time when we need to rebuild.
Background on Nehemiah
First, being overwhelmed is appropriate.
Second, recognizing our need for improvement is appropriate.
1. When have you spent time rebuilding in your life?
2. Was there a turning point that led to that rebuilding? What was it?
3. Was being overwhelmed part of your turning point experience?
4. Were there areas you identified as things you needed to change or even repent of?
Try to answer this question: If you knew there was an area in your life that needs rebuilding, what would it be?
2. Partner with God.
First, pray specifically.
Second, recognize the right place at the right time.
In those days I was the king’s cup-bearer.
Nehemiah was in the right place at the right time to do something about the news he had heard.
Reflect on this question: If you were led to partner with God in a cause, situation, or circumstance in the world what would you like it to be?
1. When have you felt you were partnering with God?
2. Did your prayers change and became more specific?
3. When have you been in the right place at the right time?
4. Presently, is there any situation that may be an opportunity to partner with God?
Join us in the Sanctuary for this family friendly, all-church service that marks the beginning of the holy season of Lent.
Saturday, March 7th; check-in starts @ 8am. With your help, StoneBridge is building a loft house in Ensenada, Mexico. And you don’t have to travel further than the church parking lot. If you can hammer a nail or manage a paintbrush, you’re qualified! We’re also collecting gift items for the recipient family. Visit the Ministry Table on the patio after service to sign up and learn more.
The final results of the Ultimate Huddle financial request are in. When asked to increase giving by an additional $10 a week for a duration of six months following the arrival of our new pastor, 44% of the congregation responded. This 44% response bridges $4800 of the monthly deficit of $10,000. In January, an increase in giving reflected follow through on this commitment. Additionally, some generous, one-time financial gifts were given. These commitments and gifts inspire confidence and allow time for the Elder Board to work on a thoroughly thought through and sustainable 2020/21 budget. However, with a deficit still remaining, challenging budgetary adjustments will be necessary.
