Day 9 – 1 Thessalonians 5:24: “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” This short passage at the very end of Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians is packed with comfort. God is faithful to the promises He makes. We can take it to the bank. He calls us and invites us to receive the blessings of His faithfulness!

Day 7 – 2 Timothy 2:19: “Isaiah 25:1 O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You! I will praise Your name, because You have done astounding things, plans laid long ago that are firm and faithful.” The LORD is a God of power, who does what no one else is able to do. His will cannot be changed and is true. For this reason, we confess His name to the world!

Day 7 – 2 Timothy 2:19: “Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”” The Lord knows His own, and He cares for them, whatever they may face in this life. As His own, we are called to be different from the world.

In a time of trial and national unrest, the Book of Nehemiah offers a needed reminder that the LORD is in control. Join Pastors Ben Libby and Tom Naumann as they open up this somewhat unfamiliar book of the Old Testament to discuss the LORD’s faithfulness and protection as well as Nehemiah’s dedication to and confidence in the LORD, and the importance of prayer, especially in times of uncertainty or despair. We will learn how Nehemiah and his contemporaries play an important role in the coming of the Savior, and what we can take away from this book today.
