Kingdom Builders

📖KEY SCRIPTURES

Nehemiah 12:44–47 & Nehemiah 13:1–14

This is where the people shift from celebrating the work to living out the work.

🌟 SERMON BIG IDEA

God doesn’t elevate you to stay where you are — He elevates you to send you.

The wall was the project, but the people were the purpose.

Once God finishes building in you, He begins building through you.

🔥 MAIN POINTS

1. Celebration Must Turn Into Stewardship

After the dedication, Nehemiah appoints leaders, gatekeepers, singers, and workers.

Why? Because joy without stewardship collapses.

2. God Sends You Back Into the Places You Came From

Nehemiah returns to Persia, then comes back to Jerusalem and finds the people slipping.

He steps back into the mess — not to complain, but to correct.

3. Being Sent Requires Courage, Conviction, and Consistency

Nehemiah confronts compromise, resets worship, restores giving, and reestablishes order.

Being sent isn’t glamorous — it’s gritty.”
