On Sunday, July 28, 2024, at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on Nehemiah 1:1-11. This message was part 4 in the “roundtrip” sermon series. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find audio and video of the message to listen to/watch, download or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Nehemiah 1:1-11
- How does our behavior typically reveal to others what we believe about God? Think of as many examples as you can come up with.
- Had you ever considered before God’s plan for His work with Israel: to display against the canvas of that small nation His greatness, so that all the people of the earth would ultimately know of His greatness? If you need to review some of the key passages covered today here is a list: Deuteronomy 7:7-9, Genesis 12:1-3, Exodus 9:13-16; 15:11-14; 18:1, 9-12; 19:3-6; 1 Kings 10:1-9; Numbers 14:13-21, 2 Kings 18:33-35.
- Based on our study of the fame name of God, in your own words, why was Nehemiah experiencing “shame” because Jerusalem lay in ruins?
- In what ways has God’s reputation (His fame name) been lifted high by the Church (at large) in your lifetime? In what ways has the Church (at large) profaned God’s reputation in your lifetime?
- In what ways has your lifestyle magnified God to the world? In what way has your lifestyle profaned God’s name in the world?
- Spend time confessing your sin before the LORD and apologizing for how in any way our actions have defamed His great name.
- How might God be leading you to make any changes in your lifestyle based on our study of the importance of His great name?
- What is one particular application you took away from this message?
