Preacher: Rev. Tyler Wigg-Stevenson
Bible Passage: Nehemiah 13
Sermon Series: Now What? No Seriously...What Now?
About This Series: Not everything ends with happily ever after. At the end of our preaching series on Nehemiah, we see the people slipping back into old patterns of faithlessness, and Nehemiah’s response. We’re not promised that everything we do will end well. But we can take comfort in the knowledge that the work is finally God’s, not our own—and God is faithful.

Sermon Series: Now What? No Seriously...What Now?
About This Series: Have you ever been asked to take responsibility for something you can’t change? And have you ever experienced the liberation of making your own commitment to a situation, regardless of what was being asked of you? In today’s sermon we see the ancient Israelites committing to God despite pressing adverse circumstances, and consider what this example might mean for our community as we emerge from lockdown.

Bible Passage: Nehemiah 8:1-18
Sermon Series: Now What? No Seriously...What Now?
About This Series: God raises up a leader, Nehemiah, who guides the community in restoring their homes. Equal parts memoir, history, and devotional, the book of Nehemiah shows what it means to live our all-too-short lives trusting in the long arc of God's faithfulness, even when it's hard to see *any* light at the end of the tunnel. As the world enters year two of the pandemic, there's no better book to remind us that the work of rebuilding is always harder and longer than we want it to be—and always worth it, if God is at the centre.
