Series: Rubble to Revival (Preaching Team)
Text: Nehemiah 2:11-20, 3:1,2
Title: The God who Restores is calling us to build.

Speaker: Wayne Visser

Invited:
1. Have you ever been involved in a major renovation project? Did your expectations
match the outcome? Was the process easier or harder than you thought?
Loved:
1. Have you worked on a project, maybe something at church or on a service Sunday, or
with your life group where you felt that God was also working? How did you sense that?
What did that feel like?
Shaped:
1. Upon surveying the ruins, Nehemiah tells the leaders that “we are in disgrace” (verse
17). What does he mean by this?
2. Rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem started with deep grief that something was broken
(Neh 1:4) then prayer/fasting/confession (1:4+), planning (2:7, 8, 13) and finally action
(3:1+).
3. When is it hardest for you to act?
a. When your project lies in ruins?
b. When you face pushback?
c. When you need to wait?
d. When you feel inadequate?

Sent:
1. Where are you looking for God’s “Yes” to help you overcome others’ “No”?
2. What is one broken relationship, injustice, or place of suffering where you sense that
Jesus inviting you to participate in His restorative work, and what step could you take
this week to join Him there? What preparation might you need to undertake before you
start?
3. How can Faith church or your life group support you?
