Strengthening the Family: Build That Wall

Pastor Ben reminded us that God never intended His people to build His kingdom alone. Just as every person in Nehemiah's day rebuilt a portion of Jerusalem's wall, every follower of Jesus has been given a unique place to strengthen Christ's church. As we resist discouragement and fear, work together in unity, and faithfully use the gifts God has entrusted to us, we become a living testimony of God's love to a watching world.

2. What kinds of discouragement or fear most often keep Christians from fully engaging inGod's work? How can we recognize when we're fighting the wrong battle?

3. Ben said, "The world knows how to fight, but the church chooses to build. "What would it look like for our church to be known more for what we build together than for what we disagree about?

4. As you reflect on this week's message, where might God be inviting you to "pick up your trowel" this season? What is one practical step you could take this week to strengthen Christ's church?
