The passage from Jeremiah 18:3-6 reminds us that God defines who we are, not the world or our circumstances. God forms us like a potter forms clay, with a specific design and purpose in mind. We are not redundant, but useful vessels of God's glory. We should ask God what he has trained us for and trust his sovereignty in shaping us. We are secure and confident in God's hands.

The speaker invites the audience to open their Bibles to Philippians 1:12 and reflects on how the Lord always has a purpose for our circumstances. Instead of complaining, we should try to understand what God wants from us through our experiences. The Apostle Paul wrote this book while in prison, but he did not let his circumstances define him. Similarly, we should not let our circumstances determine who we are. The speaker encourages us to activate our faith and trust that all things work together for good according to God's purposes. No matter how challenging our circumstances may seem, God wants to glorify himself through us and bless others.

You have been called with a purpose from the Lord, and no matter what circumstances you face, God will use them for His glory. Don't let circumstances define you, let God define who you are and what you do. Align your experiences with God's purpose and you will be victorious. Remember that the one who is with us is stronger than the one who is in the world. Give thanks to the Lord for His faithfulness and for the opportunity to be in His house. Bless others with His goodness and mercies.

The speaker urges the audience to celebrate and have joy in the Lord, citing the book of Esther as an example of the importance of festivities. The Lord is a God of joy and celebrations, and the church should promote this aspect of God's personality. Even in difficult times, we should rejoice and give thanks to the Lord for all the good things he has done for us. The speaker emphasizes that the church should be a prophetic element in the world, showing that evil does not belong to God and that God does wonderful things for us to celebrate.

The speaker discusses the concept of independence and asks if we have declared our independence from the empire of the enemy. He references Colossians 2:13-14, which talks about how Jesus Christ forgave our sins and annulled the record of the decrees that were against us. The speaker emphasizes that we are free because Christ made us free and we depend on Him, not the world. He encourages us to act as free children and not live in fear of the enemy, as nothing can subdue a child of God who has declared to be free. The speaker concludes by reminding us that the Lord signed the decree of our independence and we should declare our freedom loudly.

The Holy Spirit brings joy and restoration to those who seek the Lord with all their hearts. The story of Zacharias and Elizabeth in Luke 1 shows that even when we think it's too late, God can still answer our prayers. We should not limit God by our human limitations and trust in His timing. When God answers our prayers, we should give it a name and glorify Him. The Lord's response brings restoration to families and communities and helps the church to believe in miracles. We should praise and glorify the Lord when He answers our prayers, and others will see and trust in Him.

The Lord's response will bring belief and trust from unbelievers in the church. When the church believes, the world will believe, and the power of God will be active in us. Trust in God's timing, be patient, and persevere in prayer. God is faithful and will answer our prayers. May the Lord's peace be with us all.

The sermon focuses on the desire for change and how it begins with oneself. The speaker encourages the audience to ask themselves questions about change, such as what it is, how it is born, and what implications it has in their lives. He emphasizes the importance of being willing to assume the changes that the Lord wants us to make and submitting ourselves to His will. The speaker cites Bible verses to support his message and encourages the audience to ask God to renew their spirits, hearts, and ways of thinking and acting. He concludes by urging everyone to seek changes that will bring them closer to God and to declare these changes to Him.

Hold your brother's hand and acknowledge that we all struggle in different ways. Pray for God to renew our spirits, hearts, thoughts, and actions. Ask for Him to change what doesn't align with His will. May the Holy Spirit lead us to renewal.

The pastor speaks about the importance of completing the construction of the new sanctuary and the power of coming together as a church community. He emphasizes the need for giving generously as an act of worship and gratitude to God, recognizing that all things come from Him. The generous believer prospers in all things and receives in the same way that they give. The pastor encourages the church to trust in God's faithfulness and to have a kingdom consciousness when giving to the work. He emphasizes that giving is not about receiving blessings, but about honoring God with one's goods and being a faithful steward of His creation. The pastor concludes by urging the church to have a fervent desire to be generous in God's work.

The author encourages readers to be generous in their giving to the church and to make a vow to the Lord. They use the story of Jacob and his vow to God as an example of how even when we only have a stone, we can offer it to the Lord and He will bless us. The author reminds readers that the Lord gave first by sacrificing His Son for us, and so we should also give generously. They also emphasize that giving should be a continual action, not just a one-time event. The author concludes with a prayer for blessings on the congregation and for those who make a new promise to the Lord.

The passage in Second Corinthians 5:17-20 speaks of the ministry of reconciliation, which is the responsibility of the Church to bring people closer to God. Reconciliation means restoring a relationship, and in this case, it is restoring the relationship between man and God. To do this, we must examine our conscience, feel contrition for our sins, repent, and confess our faith in Jesus Christ. The Church is the only institution that can bring man closer to God, and we must work to fulfill this mission. To be an ambassador for God's promises, we must be in Christ, live a new life, leave old things behind, and model a new life structure. God has promises for those who practice and project the ministry of reconciliation, and we must spread the message of reconciliation urgently.

The prayer acknowledges the importance of God's word in guiding us and the mission of the church to represent the interests of God's Kingdom on earth. It asks for the message of reconciliation to spread through the internet and for the church to rise up in favor of reconciling man with God. The prayer ends with a call to sing a song about the beauty of the Lord.

The speaker shares a portion of the book of Jeremiah, urging people to seek shalom (well-being, justice, mercy, and goodness) for their city or country. They encourage prayer to God for this peace, rather than just seeking help from political leaders. The speaker believes that if people seek and promote shalom, God's blessing will come upon the city or country. They also remind listeners that as children of God, only He has dominance over them and they should serve His creation. The speaker ends with a prayer for shalom to be present in people's lives and in the world.

The passage in John 15 emphasizes the need for the church to bear much fruit and to remain attached to the true vine, which is Jesus Christ. Many people cling to other things such as religion, education or philosophy, but Christ is the best alternative to give and bear fruit. The fruit that we bear must have elements such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. We are called not only to bear fruit but to bear much fruit, and we must depend on God for this. If we are not bearing correct fruit, he will cut us down so that we may bear more fruit.

We can only bear good fruit with the help of the Holy Spirit. If we are not bearing fruit, God may cut off the unproductive parts of our lives so that we can bear more fruit. Coming to church can help us avoid sin and bad thoughts, but we should strive to bear constant fruit. If we are not bearing fruit, we can ask the Holy Spirit to bring life to us like rain on dry land. We should stay attached to Jesus and let go of anything that brings dryness and death. Our fruit should honor God and bring life to others.

In Acts 6:7, it is said that the Word of God increased, and the number of disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, including a great number of priests obeying the faith. The Word of God is not just a scripture or a reading through the Bible, it is a movement, an action given through and by the mouth of God to experience His wonders. The Lord's Church today is called to witness the restorative work, the miraculous work, the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit in these days. In order to do this, believers need to have peace, edify themselves and others, live in the fear of the Lord, be good and full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and have the hand of the Lord with them. The Church needs to rise up against everything that is called wisdom, against everything that is called knowledge, against everything that is called economic, political, or communicational power. The Church needs to shine and show the world the power of God.

As a believer in the Church of the Lord, you have the opportunity to declare your faith and be a useful instrument in the hands of God. It doesn't matter your education or language, God can use you if you are willing. The challenge is to have influence beyond the limits of our nature and to let the Word of the Lord grow in our lives. With God, nothing is impossible and we can be change agents in this world. In prayer, we ask for God's help to be as He wants us to be and to show His power through our lives. We thank the Lord for His Church and for the opportunity to be a part of it.

The message from Luke 18:7 and Matthew 7:7-11 is that the Lord answers the persistent and insistent. Perseverance is necessary in the life of a Christian and is the key to receiving blessings and salvation. It is important to cultivate perseverance in prayer and in our daily lives, and to trust that God will answer in His own time. The psalmist reminds us to bless the Lord at all times, seek Him continually, and fear Him, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

The speaker talks about the excitement of having new things and how it brings a different sensation to the soul. He encourages people to seek new things in their lives, especially in their relationship with God. He cites verses from Isaiah and Ezekiel that talk about God doing new things in people's lives, such as giving them a new heart and spirit. He also emphasizes the importance of putting on the new man and practicing the fruit of the spirit. The speaker challenges the church to show the world a creative God who does new things in our lives every day.

The word of the Lord promises that those who lay hands on the sick will recover, but sometimes people end up even sicker. Instead, we should focus on experiencing the newness of the Lord every day. Our God is inexhaustible and has prepared new things for us that we cannot even imagine. We must have faith and trust in Him, knowing that He has already made all things new. We should meditate deeply on this truth and pursue these new things with joy and hope. May we leave this place with the conviction that God has already done these new things for us, and may we put on our new selves every day. Amen.

The speaker discusses the importance of preaching the Gospel and being a witness for Christ in a world that is lost and dying without salvation. He emphasizes that the church's mission is not just to receive miracles, but to preach the good news of salvation. He quotes several verses from the Bible, including Romans 1:16, Mark 1:17, and Colossians 3:1, and urges listeners to seek the things above and fulfill their ministry. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of the Holy Spirit in empowering believers to be witnesses and to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. He ends with a reading from Luke 4:18-19 about the spirit of the Lord being upon us.

Speak about Jesus Christ and the love He has for us. The Lord is with you always.

The Spirit of the Lord brings freedom, movement, and power to our lives. It is not limited to just emotional experiences, but has many more consequences than what we can see in a Church. The Spirit allows us to project ourselves towards what the Lord is proposing in our lives. When we are wrapped in the Spirit, there is nothing that can defeat us. The Holy Spirit teaches us all things, detail by detail, and reminds us of everything Jesus has told us. Living in the Spirit brings life, even in our mortal bodies, and restores our hope and desire.

A Church that lives in the Spirit is a Church that is free, constantly moving, powerful, and full of life. The Spirit of the Lord gives life, renews, restores, and brings hope even to mortal bodies. It is the difference of the Lord's Church that shows life to those around us. The devil does not want us to move at the level of the Spirit, but when we let the Lord allow us to live in the Spirit, the devil has no power over us. We need a Church that is enlivened by the Spirit every day, not just at religious levels, but also at economic and professional levels. We should seek the things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God and set our sights on them. We need to claim our freedom and ask the Spirit to come into our lives.

The biblical portion of Ephesians 6:13-18 demands action from Christians. We must put on the full armor of God to resist the devil's attacks. Neglecting our spiritual life and ignoring the enemy will not make him go away. Christians must be prepared to face the devil and his strategies, and constantly act by using the weapons God has given us. We must also be careful not to wear the wrong armor, such as religious, intellectual, or works-based armor. The belt of truth represents the Gospel and ties together with the breastplate of justice, both of which are essential components of the armor of God.

The passage from Ephesians 6:10-18 discusses the armor of God that Christians must put on to fight the devil. The belt of truth represents the Gospel, the breastplate of justice protects the heart and vital organs, the shoes represent the preparation of the Gospel of peace, the shield of faith protects and advances the Christian, the helmet of salvation identifies the Christian as a good soldier of Christ, and the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God used to destroy the work of the enemy. Christians must wear the correct armor and be prepared to fight against the devil. The message encourages Christians to be aware of the spiritual reality and fight against the enemy with the tools and weapons provided by God.

The speaker urges the audience to examine their hearts and discern areas that need healing and forgiveness. The lack of forgiveness can lead to roots of bitterness and hinder one's relationship with God. Forgiveness is a decision that opens the way to healing and inner healing. The speaker emphasizes that God's forgiveness is complete and includes all sins, but individuals must also learn to forgive themselves and others. Self-condemnation can also lead to bitter roots, but the speaker encourages the audience to let go of the past and embrace the new life in Christ. The speaker recommends that individuals ask for forgiveness and forgive others before presenting offerings or adoration to God. Forgiveness is key to a healthy heart and soul, and the lack of forgiveness can even lead to illness.

Forgiveness is essential in our lives, as lack of forgiveness separates us from God and affects our personal relationships. Bitterness can make us sick and affect our children, spouses, and even lead to vengeful spirits. We need to forgive ourselves and others to heal from past wounds and live a life free of bitterness. The word of God and science teaches us the importance of forgiveness in our lives. We must learn to forgive just as Jesus forgave us, and let go of all bitterness and unforgiveness.

The speaker reflects on the true meaning of Christmas and the mission of Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that the Spirit of the Lord is upon all believers and that the church's commitment is to preach good news and bring healing, liberation, and restoration to those in need. The speaker encourages believers to recognize their power and authority through the Holy Spirit and to be the source of power in their communities. He references Acts chapter 2 as an example of believers who were impacted by the Holy Spirit and brought about great change in their city.

The mission of the church is to be impacted by the power of the Holy Spirit and to share the message of Jesus Christ with authority and conviction. This was seen in the book of Acts when Peter spoke to a crowd of thousands and converted many. When the Holy Spirit is present, it brings unity, signs, and wonders to the church. We should all seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit in our lives and continue to share the good news of salvation. The Spirit of the Lord is calling us to receive this anointing and fulfill the mission of Jesus here on earth. We should never stop seeking more of the Holy Spirit's power and authority in our lives.

The speaker discusses the importance of being farsighted and cautious in our approach to life, particularly in our financial decisions. He references the story of David in First Chronicles and how David felt incorporated into the process of building a temple for worship. The speaker emphasizes the need to be part of the process and to contribute, whether it be through volunteering, financial means, or connections. He stresses the importance of making sacrifices that truly cost us and not presenting sacrifices to God that come easily. Overall, the message encourages the listener to be farsighted and to contribute to the vision of the church.

The speaker encourages the congregation to feel part of the process of building the house of the Lord, and to understand that their involvement will transform lives. They should offer everything to the Lord, including their lives, and feel in love with God. The speaker cites King David's example of giving generously to the house of God, and urges the congregation to be foreseeable for the provision of the Lord. He closes with a prayer of praise and encourages the congregation to be farsighted in their lives and commitments to God.

The speaker believes that praise and adoration should be a constant presence in the life of a Christian. Our praise should not be based on circumstances, but on who God is and what He means to our lives. Through genuine praise and adoration, we can experience the powerful hand of the Lord and have great victories even in difficult circumstances. The speaker cites examples from the Bible, such as the taking of Jericho and Gideon's victory over Midian, to illustrate the power of praise and worship. It is important to trust in the Lord and not put our trust in human beings. The Lord reigns forever and we should constantly praise and bless His name.

The enemy has a plan, but the Bible tells us how to overcome it. We need a church that makes a difference and praises the Lord with psalms and spiritual songs. Don't be ashamed to praise the Lord at all times and in all places because He deserves all glory, honor, and praise. We are not alone in praising Him. Let's give a round of applause to the Lord.

The church faces continuous challenges that require virtues from Christians. Perseverance is necessary to maintain faith, and unity is important for a sense of team and to appear as a single body. Humility involves submitting to God and respecting others. Obedience is essential to depend on God, and joy is a characteristic that transcends the walls of the church. The joy of the Lord brings a character of a loving and tender Christ. Christians should strive to maintain unity, humility, obedience, and joy in order to glorify God.

The speaker encourages the audience to find joy in the Lord and reflect on the model of life that Christ invites us to live. They challenge the church to be faithful witnesses and ambassadors of the kingdom of God, so that others may come to know salvation in Jesus Christ. The message is concluded with a prayer for blessings in the name of Jesus.

The speaker invites the audience to open their Bibles to Job 22, and presents six principles for success in the way of the Lord. The first principle is to have intimacy with the Lord, to be friends with Him and to seek peace and security through this relationship. The second principle is to be attentive to the word of the Lord, to read and internalize it, and not leave it for tomorrow. The speaker emphasizes the importance of the Bible, and encourages listeners to teach their children about God's works and to have a heart sensitive to the Lord's proposal.

The speaker discusses the importance of repentance and urgency in our relationship with God. By returning to the Almighty and having a genuine approach to the Lord, we can remove affliction from our lives and have wealth and success. The speaker encourages us to establish a time of prayer and communion with God and fulfill our obligations to His church and our neighbors. By walking in faith and focusing on prayer and reading the word, we can find tranquility and security in our relationship with God.

In Exodus 3, Moses encounters the burning bush and is commanded to remove his shoes because he is on holy ground. The speaker notes that footwear represents comfort and security, but in this instance, it symbolizes reverence for the presence of God. The speaker suggests that the church must learn to rid itself of sin and impurities to enter into the presence of the Lord and experience His glory. The speaker concludes by urging listeners to remove their shoes and embrace a life of holiness to fulfill their call to spread the gospel and glorify God.

In Ephesians 4:22, God instructs us to put off our old sinful ways and put on the new man created in God's image. We must remove the things that are not pleasing to God and strive for holiness. God's presence is available to us, but we must be willing to let go of our bad habits and live in accordance with His will. We should pray for healing and restoration in areas of our lives that are not aligned with God's plan. By doing so, we can experience the blessings and prosperity that come with living in His holiness.

The speaker reflects on the importance of looking in the mirror and how it helps us present ourselves in the best light. He then invites the audience to look in the mirror of the Lord, which means looking at ourselves in the image of Jesus Christ. This helps us identify areas of our spiritual life that need improvement. The speaker emphasizes the importance of presenting ourselves as the image of Jesus Christ, as it transcends and reaches the souls of others. He also mentions the characteristics that we need to improve in order to look more like Christ every day. The speaker concludes by pointing out that the image of Jesus Christ should be our main concept of beauty and that it transcends limits and glorifies the Lord through us.

The speaker urges listeners to strive to look more like Jesus Christ and less like the world. He emphasizes the importance of spiritual habits such as prayer, fasting, and daily reading of the Bible in achieving this goal. The speaker reminds listeners that Jesus Christ is the image of God and that they should focus on emulating Him rather than human models. The speaker invites those who feel the need for spiritual strengthening to come forward for prayer.

The correct attitude for us as God's people is to humble ourselves before Him. Humiliation in the world is used to denigrate and belittle people, but in God's kingdom, it is a resource for Him to answer, forgive, save, and bless us. Humbling ourselves means recognizing our need for God and bowing before His power. It is a necessity to break our will and make us recognize our insignificance compared to God. The correct attitude of humility allows us to enjoy God's blessings, forgiveness, and miracles. God gives grace and comfort to the humble and urges us to associate with humble people. Jesus is the best example of humility, and God is willing to take away our rebellion and arrogance and transform us into a humble people that recognizes Him. Humiliation before God brings benefits, joy, and growth. The church often forgets this attitude, but God resists the proud. If we humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways, then God will hear from heaven, forgive our sin, and heal our land.

We should humble ourselves before God and seek His confirmation for our lives every day. The Lord promises that His yoke is easy and His burden is light, so we should surrender our problems and difficulties to Him. Let us be a church that humbles itself and recognizes God as Lord, even in good times. Humbling ourselves brings blessing, well-being, healing, and peace of mind. Amen.

The speaker talks about the power of the Holy Spirit and the need for the church to be attentive to the needs of the people. He references Acts 3 and the story of Peter and John healing a lame man outside the temple. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being aware of when the Holy Spirit can work through us to help others and to be a source of transformation and healing in the world. He encourages the church to be more perceptive and attentive to the needs of the people, and to show the power of God in everyday life.

The church of the Lord is a place of life, power, and transformation. To do the will of the Lord, we must remove our logic, pride, and arrogance, and have faith. A deranged church is one that believes in the power of the Lord and is willing to do His will without questioning it. The Lord wants to pour out a special power over our lives and transform us. The first Christians were filled with fear and astonishment at the miracles the Lord was doing through the church. Today, we should be sensitive to the Lord's glory in our lives and be potential purveyors of His power for the healing of others. For those who believe, everything is possible.

The speaker urges listeners to maintain their first love for Jesus Christ and to not let it become a background in their lives. They should take concrete steps in their spiritual, emotional, and physical lives to show their love for Jesus Christ. The church of Ephesus, which represents those who have given much time and sacrifice for the Lord, is an example of a church that lost its first love for Jesus Christ. The love became conditioned and filled with rules and impurities. The speaker urges listeners to shake off the liturgical and religious routines that can harm their relationship with Jesus Christ and to let the Holy Spirit work in their understanding, renewing their understanding every day. They should continue to believe that the love of God is enough for them and that it can do everything in their lives. The speaker warns listeners not to let their love for God be changed by their own interests or by the liturgical and religious routine. They should maintain their religion, which means reconnecting with the Lord through Jesus Christ and being transformed from strangers to family for the love of Jesus.

The love of God and Jesus Christ cannot be separated. We are transformed from being strangers to being family through our relationship with Jesus Christ. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. We should not follow religion just for the sake of being part of a church club, but for the love of God and the sacrifice Jesus made for our salvation. God's love surpasses everything and we should strive to be faithful to Him.

The speaker discusses the topic of faith and how it is often limited to personal benefits and material possessions. He argues that faith is more than that and should be based on a way of life and a way of looking at the giver of salvation. He talks about the importance of hearing the word of God and how faith is a necessary condition to move the hand of God. The speaker then focuses on the less popular but important aspect of faith, which is the willingness to live for a conviction of faith, even in times of difficulty and persecution. He cites Hebrews 11:36-37 as examples of those who experienced taunts, scourgings, prisons, and even death for their faith in Jesus Christ. The speaker emphasizes that true faith is through the name of Jesus Christ.

Faith is not just about receiving material blessings, it is about Jesus Christ. Our faith is tested in difficult times and we must have the courage to follow Jesus. We should not only focus on what we want, but on pleasing Jesus and loving Him. We need to change our limited concept of faith and focus on Jesus Christ. God has a purpose for our lives and wants to show His power through us. We are like the men and women in the Bible and God wants to use us to do great things.

In the Bible, Samuel placed a stone between Mizpah and Sen and named it Ebenezer, meaning "stone of help." This was to symbolize the commitment of the people to leave behind their pagan ways and turn to God. Today, we should celebrate our own "Ebenezers" by recognizing how God has helped us in our lives. Jesus Christ is our ultimate Ebenezer, our rock of help, and we should build our lives on his foundation. We should be grateful for God's mercy and blessings and declare his love over our lives daily.

The speaker invites the audience to reflect on Acts 1:8 which talks about receiving power from the Holy Spirit and becoming witnesses of the Lord's wonders. He emphasizes the importance of being dependent on the Holy Spirit and declaring oneself a witness to the power of God. The speaker uses the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4 to illustrate how one's testimony can impact others and lead them to believe in the power of God. He encourages the audience to walk with confidence as witnesses of the power of God and not be ashamed of the gospel.

The Gospel of the Lord needs relevant witnesses of the power of God who are faithful and consistent in their testimony. The Kingdom of God is with us wherever we go, and as witnesses of the power of God, we should demonstrate it in our conduct, thoughts, and actions. We need to be responsible with the Gospel and tell others how wonderful God has been in our lives. If we have failed or offended, we can ask for forgiveness and be taught to be powerful witnesses because God still has great things for us.

The habit of complaining is common in our lives and it comes from the Garden of Eden. Job 10:1 says, "I will give free rein to my complaint." Complaining brings depression and leads to pessimism, rebellion against God's will, and conformity. It also brings envy, lies, discontent, doubt, bitterness, sadness, pride, greed, anger, and curse. Complaining before the Lord brings condemnation. We should be grateful and recognize all the things God has done for us. We can be firm on the rock that is Jesus Christ and when we are, there is no reason to complain, gossip, condemn, or curse. Instead, there are reasons for blessing, gratitude, and joy.

God is our keeper, helper, provider, and healer. He wants to bless us abundantly. We thank God for this time of worship and pray for his protection when we return home. We ask for his blessings in the name of Jesus. Amen.

The speaker talks about the importance of being a worshipper of God rather than just a singer of worship songs. He uses the story of Gideon from the book of Judges to illustrate how God calls us to make a decision to stand up against spiritual oppression and live a life of constant worship, not just on Sundays. The speaker also mentions how the system and spiritual Midianites can oppress us in our daily lives, but by making a determination to worship God, we can break free from their hold and glorify God in all aspects of our lives.

The story of Gideon, Joshua, and David all teach us the importance of being a worshiper of God and having determination to overcome limitations and obstacles. Gideon only glorified God and trusted in Him to defeat the Midianites. Joshua believed in the Lord's plan to conquer Jericho and listened to His voice. David, a man after God's own heart, trusted in God to defeat the giant Goliath. As worshipers, we must not only sing praise but also believe and live out the promises of God. We must have the courage to face our spiritual giants and trust in God to overcome them.

The speaker opens with a reference to the Book of Nehemiah, Chapter 1, verses 3-4, where Nehemiah weeps and mourns upon hearing the news of the destruction of the wall of Jerusalem. The speaker identifies three types of Christians: crybabies, who are emotional and sentimental; those who pray and fast and mourn; and those who also act and position themselves in a defined structure. The speaker emphasizes the importance of Christians taking action and positioning themselves in a defined structure, rather than just crying or praying. Christians should present Jesus Christ as the banner and preach the Gospel with concrete actions. The speaker calls for practical churches, not theoretical churches, with members who are willing to act and rebuild.

The author encourages readers to reflect on their personal commitment to their faith and to consider the importance of action and practicality in their church community. The author cites the example of Nehemiah and encourages readers to prioritize their efforts to help others and rebuild their communities, rather than focusing only on their own problems. The author provides a challenge to readers to strive to be doers of the word, rather than just hearers.
