Sermon Title – Remember The Lord

1.  The enemy mocked Nehemiah to discourage him before he even got started. Share a time when someone’s words or attitudes tried to discourage you from doing what God called you to do. How did you (or how could you) respond with faith instead of fear?

2.  In chapter 4, discouragement came from within the camp and even from people on Nehemiah’s own team. How do you recognize when your own thoughts or the voices of those close to you are pulling you away from God’s calling? What can you do to “flip the script” when that happens?

3.  Verse 14 was Nehemiah’s rally cry: “Don’t be afraid! Remember the Lord… fight for your friends, your families, and your homes!” What are some practical ways you can “remember the Lord” this week when life feels overwhelming?

4.  Nehemiah reminded the people their work was about more than walls—it was about their families and their future. What are you fighting for right now? How can you fight more intentionally through prayer, faith, and action?

5.  Nehemiah lifted the eyes of his people off the rubble and onto God’s greatness. Who in your life needs that same encouragement right now, and how can you be the one to remind them of God’s greatness and faithfulness?

Sermon Title – It Might As Well Be Me

1.  What’s something you’ve seen in your life, your city, or the world that breaks your heart—but you’ve tried to ignore or avoid it? What would it look like to stop avoiding it and let God give you a burden for it?

2.  Nehemiah sat down to cry—he allowed the pain in. When’s the last time something hit you so deeply that it moved you emotionally or spiritually? Did you push it away… or pray it through?

3.  We often feel overwhelmed by the size of the problem and paralyzed by our limitations. What keeps you from believing “God could actually use me”? What lie do you need to stop believing?

4.  Nehemiah didn’t stop at tears—he turned to prayer. What specific burden do you need to start praying about this week, like Nehemiah did for days?

5.  Standing up to act sometimes means stepping out in faith. What is one step you could take this week—however small—to move toward being part of the solution to the burden you feel?

6.   “Somebody has to do something about this… it might as well be me.” What does that phrase stir up in you? Is there an area of your life where it’s time to stop saying “someone should…” and start saying “God, send me”?
