Autumn 2025: Restoration Nation

A sermon series looking at the story of Nehemiah and the desire God put in his heart to restore the walls of Jerusalem after the long exile of God's people.

Restoration Nation -Restoring the Vision

 


Nehemiah 1 and 2: 1-8

 

As we begin our series on the book of Nehemiah, Revd Mary looks at how his story started as a man who had never been to his family's land but whose heart broke at the stories of its ruin. What can we learn from how he cried out to God and sought to be part of the solution?

Restoration Nation -Rebuilding the Walls

 


Nehemiah 2:11-3:5

Matthew 7: 24-29

Nehemiah's task became clear when he saw walls God had told him to rebuild. Revd Abby looks at what the next steps he took might say to us today, as we seek to respond to what God is saying to each of us about the rebuilding and rebirth that is needed in our lives.

Restoration Nation -Responding to Trouble

 


 

Nehemiah 4: 7-23

Restoration Nation -Receiving the Word

 


 

Nehemiah 8: 1-12
 

God's word was first given to help shape community and sustain his people. Revd Abby thinks about how it was reintroduced to the people in Nehemiah's time and how we should be receiving scripture in the same way.
