Your Moment // Week 5

In this sermon, Pastor Sam discusses Nehemiah's moment of faith and how it relates to our own lives. He explains how Nehemiah, a cupbearer to King Artaxerxes, felt a burden from God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem despite never having lived there or having construction experience. Despite living in luxury and comfort, Nehemiah prayed for four months before approaching the king for permission to undertake this seemingly illogical mission. The sermon highlights how Nehemiah faced significant opposition from surrounding governors like Sanballat, who spread rumors, threatened violence, and attempted to discourage the work, yet Nehemiah refused to quit, famously declaring he would not "come off the wall." The wall was completed in just 52 days, proving that God's calling was legitimate despite the opposition.
