In this stand-alone sermon from Pastor Lee Cummings titled "The Sword and The Trowel", we dive into Nehemiah 4 and dig into the tactics of the enemy and our response to serve and glorify God. Focus Scripture Nehemiah 4:1-20 (ESV) “Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he jeered at the Jews. 2 And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of Samaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?” 3 Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are building—if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!” 4 Hear, O our God, for we are despised.Turn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives. 5 Do not cover their guilt, and let not their sin be blotted out from your sight, for they have provoke

God is generous with His words, works, and love. If God were to give you the greatest gift, what must He give? The answer: Himself. Don't miss this timely word from Pastor Tim Matthews! Focus Scriptures Hebrews 11:6 (ESV) “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV) “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Sermon Highlights How beautiful is God that the prerequisite to pursuing Him is to believe that He REWARDS those who seek Him? The generosity of God should grab our hearts, demand our attention, win our affections, and empower our actions. God is generous with his words. He speaks consistently (at many times) and creatively (in many ways). Whether through prophets, angels, a burning bush, or a still small voice, the authors of scripture is constantly communi
