“The Book of Nehemiah” — New FORGE Men Series Study

Men, we’re starting a new series on our time together: The Book of Nehemiah by Eric Mason.

Description

Whether we’ve felt spiritually stale or devoured by doubts, we’ve all wanted God to renew us. But what does spiritual restoration even look like?
The book of Nehemiah tells the story of God’s power to restore his people. As Israel returned from exile to the Promised Land, they found the walls of Jerusalem in shambles. So God equipped Nehemiah to rebuild the wall and lead the discouraged Israelites. In this 10-session series, Dr. Eric Mason shows us how God renewed his people both physically and spiritually. Through the story of Israel’s plight and God’s faithfulness, we see how God preserved his people to carry out his mission of redemption.

Are you overwhelmed by the godlessness sweeping across our world and flooding every corner of cyberspace? Are you disillusioned that the most vitriolic voices in debates are sometimes those of people calling themselves Christians? In this five-part series, Berni Dymet explores how Jesus engaged with and responded to people who were hostile toward Him. In Jesus’ example, we find a way to hold tight to the truth, while speaking it in love.

GOD’S PROMISES: Patience / Endurance

Today we discuss “GOD’S PROMISES” as they relate to patience and endurance.

“GOD’S PROMISES: Patience & Endurance”

Confinement; job loss; financial and physical strains: all affect us beyond what we would like to admit.

Enduring this for long periods is ‘challenging,’ to say the least.

Patience is part of the “Fruit of the Spirit,” but we can find it in short supply.

How do we endure in faith and patience in whatever circumstance we find ourselves?

SCRIPTURES:

  • Psalm 33:18-22
