Two of my favorite words in the book of Nehemiah are “next to.” When we read in chapter three we find this list of names who worked next to one another. Who are you next to? God created you to be a builder for Him! God created you to be a builder in a local church somewhere! In this series we are following the example of Nehemiah. He was a builder…by chipping in, helping out, and showing up. Last week we explored what it means to chip in. This week we are learning what it means to help out. Next week…well you know…how to show up! Nehemiah had to give up, join in, and fight through in order to help out and so will we. Jesus proclaimed that He came to build His church and the powers of hell would not conquer it! Are you building that church? Are you giving of your life, your time, your talents, your energy, your presence to ensure that the church of Jesus still today stands so strong that the powers of darkness can not, will not, and shall not prevail against it? Build! Be a builder! Come build with me!
