Tears on My Pillow - Paul McIlwraith
Nehemiah 5
The two sides are embroiled in a tense standoff. The crowd is cheering the home side on until suddenly they shift their allegiances. They begin to hinder the success of their own team by setting up obstacles to their advancement. This seems like an unlikely scenario until you open the book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament and discovered that this is exactly what is being played out in the fifth chapter. The Israelite people, under Nehemiah's leadership, are at work on the wall - a rebuilding project that they hope will restore the glory of God to the holy city of Jerusalem, but they face opposition from outside forces. At least that was to be expected, but to then face adversity from your own people? Opposition from within your own ranks? Join us as we discover how God uses Nehemiah to lead His people through even the most unlikely of circumstances in "Tears on my Pillow".

Tears are Not Enough - Paul McIlwraith
What is your theology of food? Isn't that kind of a strange question? Did you know that you could have a theology of food? All throughout the Bible we see references to food. It was God's plan from the very beginning for his creation, humanity, to have enough food to sustain themselves. So if God is the giver of food and His desire was for all of humanity to have enough food, why are 30,000 children dying each day around the globe due to extreme poverty? Join us for this special service as our church community partners with World Vision for their 30 Hour Famine focus and discover why "Tears are not Enough".

Taking Care of Business - Paul McIlwraith
Nehemiah 6:15 - 7:73
Just when it looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, the journey continues. Nehemiah and his faithful crew of "City builders" have completed the wall of Jerusalem. Strike up the band, have a party, the job is done! But is it? The completion of the wall in chapter 6 of the book of Nehemiah gets a one line "ho-hum" mention. Strange, or is it? Perhaps, Nehemiah downplayed it so much because he knew that the job that God gave him wasn't finished yet. He goes from securing the perimeter of the city of God to now focus on the infrastructure, building into the lives of the people. Maybe the job God gave Nehemiah to do really wasn't just about the reconstruction of walls and buildings but perhaps it was more about rebuilding and restoring his people? Join us for "Taking Care of Business", the eighth message in our series, "The Wall".
